Used this one when out working in NZ years ago, it was full of water on a JD 6630 I think. Yes it was heavy and would jack knife the tractor slightly when turning round if on slight slope. And definitely no way would I use one back here in Wales unless the fields were near enough flat. View attachment 945906View attachment 945907

See it was leaking between the barrels, was it a fleming?

Duals used extensively in NZ......minimal use of wide or LGP tyres...users say much easier to take duals off and run with singles if required and more importantly standard tyres are easy to replace if they get damaged.. not so with wide tyres as dealers hold limited stock....Interestingly, most tractors over about 160 usually on bar axles, although very few people seem to adjust wheel spacings!

I find duals have much more grip than single wides. 4x 520's are way cheaper than 2x 1060's. Even 540 fronts are too wide on deep snow, 420's much better with 520 on back.
