I went down to the local machinery yard, and I saw a giant farm wagon, it had tandem axles on both ends, and said it was a 20 ton capacity with a 30' flat bed on it, it was supposed to be a round bale trailer, but could be used for most anything with that huge flatbed. I got to thinking, what kind of a tractor would you use to pull such a monster, it was a 4 wheel wagon type, (with 8 wheels on it) so no weight gets transfered onto the pull vehicle and it had no brakes, so I must admit I am truely scared at the thought of someone putting 20 tons on it and trying to pull it with anything short of a big articulator or track tractor. I'm sure you could get it rolling with most any row crop, but it's stopping it that has me worried. How much weight would be needed to be able to safely control it?, factoring in hills.
