If I remember right we called it “gently rolling”. East of my home county which is Sioux County there is a county (IIRC Obrien county) where a significant part of it is flat as a pancake. Deep dark rich top soil. But one problem…. No drainage. Huge untillable wet spots. When it is reasonably dry that soil will produce 300 bushel an acre corn. Too much wet weather. Might as well take a vacation. There is a track version of this wagon also on the drawing boards. I have no idea what kind of soil is needed to keep this thing on top of the ground rather than in it. Wet weather forget it. Maybe a track type tractor could pull this in wet soil if the wagon was also a track type. I would be curious what the “lbs per square in” is with this in either a wheel type vs a track type. Compaction has to be an issue to worry about. My first reaction to this when I saw it was: The only reason this wagon exists is to say “mine is bigger than yours” I haven’t farmed for 60 years plus now but I would think that even the guys with 10,000 acres would say “too big”. What would a 18 wheeler with a grain bed on it carry? <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Dean VP<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Snohomish, WA 98290<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> AT <at-bounces@lists.antique-tractor.com> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Gunnells, Brad R<br><b>Sent:</b> Saturday, June 6, 2020 8:12 PM<br><b>To:</b> Antique Tractor Email Discussion Group <at@lists.antique-tractor.com><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [AT] [External] Enormous grain wagon<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Good thing it's flat up there.
