To get their higher top speed, JCB use a full suspension.

[Cecil Bearden] You could align it all day long, but with those balloon tires on the rear and Oklahoma's rough roads, it was a prescription for disaster. The tow bar was very heavy and hooked in the holes in the adjustable axle.  Tractors are unstable at more than 20 mph.  I had a Moline G1000 that would run 30 mph, but when it got to bouncing you could not hold it in the road..  The short wheelbase combined with the big tires are just not something you tow at high speeds.
