<p>Sunday I saw a farmer pulling a large New Holland 4x4 tractor and
hay bailer both through city roads. Guess it worked.</p>

<div>I have tow bars for both my Farmall Super M and my Super
MTA. Very easy to make for them. <br>
</div>
<div>I have towed the Super M (has a loader and 3 point) to the
mini-farm in the next county (about 15 miles) for work there.
When I got there I had the truck loaded with needed tools and
the loader and grader blade.</div>
<div>One year I towed both tractors at one time to a tractor
show at the county fairgrounds in town (only 3 miles). On that
trip I caught the eye of a city police officer who followed me
to the fairgrounds, looked over what I had and we had a
friendly chat and he left. He said that he was just curious
since he had never seen anything like that before and wondered
where I was going.</div>
<div>The downside to towing instead of trailering is dealing
with rough pavement and the need for reduced speeds especially
on rough pavement and lower speeds on main roads than other
traffic. Obviously I would never tow on the interstate...
That would not be a friendly visit. :-)</div>
<div>The suspension on a trailer is a lot easier on a tractor
than towing it.</div>
<div>Years ago (mid 1950's) the local fertilizer business was
towing a Farmall Super M and an anhydrous applicator using a
little "cart" that held the front wheels of a tricycle tractor
chained down. Back then they did a lot of custom application.</div>
<div>Today the scary towing going on is fertilizer dealer
employees pulling two full anhydrous nurse tank wagons behind
a pickup running 50 MPH. That and the guys (and a few women)
towing two 300 bushel hopper wagons at near highway speeds
behind a stock 1/2 ton pickup.<br>
