[AT] Haybine road speed

[Spencer Yost]

Thanks for all the feedback.   Kept to the back roads except for a few to keep my travel time to something reasonable .    Kept cruise at 30 or 35 depending on conditions and traveled late in the evening (just got back).   So trip was utterly uneventful and hubs didn’t even get warm (though tires warmed up a bit).

I would have taken a picture but it had gotten pretty dark by the time I got home.  Tomorrow I’ll have one.

PS:  that 477’s offset is a bit biased to the right compared to the old 467 by a little but I think.  I had to really slow down and drop the right tire off the road on the narrowest of roads for oncoming traffic if I wanted my truck off the yellow paint.  For some reason it just feels like the 467’s transport hitch point was more centered.

My old friend who delivered equipment all over the US for Livingston Has told me that when they get into New Mexico, they have to have regular tires on the wheels instead of Farm implement tires.  Implement tires are not rated for highway speeds.

>> Heard of people towing at up to 45 mph. Don’t know how far they did this. I would say that if you have good tires and make sure the bearings are fully greased, you should be able to do better than the 25 mph rating. You may want to try running up and down your road at increasing speeds, stopping to check if the bearings start to get too hot.
