Me and dad hauled up corn this morning with the 8010, 8050 and my set of wagons a pin weld broke. Had about two feet before the wagon would of pulled the tractor and wagons down into a 30ft creek. Happy God looked out for me on that one!

Glad it turned out alright for you. My brother has 2- 450 bu wagons and last year he had one full one behind the 8070 with a new 1 1/4" grade 8 pin that broke as he was backing it in the shed. He will never again pull 2 full wagons together again. ------------- HD16,917H,185,7050,8030FWA,8050FWA |

my boss was pulling a wagon with 200 bales on out of the barn with the forks and he had to back down a bit of a hill with a curve and as soon as he cut to go around the curve the front end started sliding, I was in the barn and heard him yell, it slid about 2 feet but he thought it was going through the shed. I guess it was a day of close calls ------------- red and green are nice for christmas, but orange is all year round http://www.canadianantiquetractor.com/tractorforum/ |

Kinda like older PTO equipment; those wagons were probably not meant for a 130-180HP tractor. Can't see what that 8000 series is, but they got a looooooooot more pull to 'em than the older say 190's that were the "big" tractors when those were built. Just means you got to inspect things more often for stress cracks. Really glad things turned out ok for you, and hope your posting helps someone else avoid an actual disaster. ------------- Still in use: HD7 WC C CA WD 2-WD45 WD45LP WD45D D14 3-D17 D17LP 2-D19D D19LP 190XTD 190XTLP 720 D21 220 7020 7030 7040 7045 3-7060 Projects: 3-U UC 2-G 2-B 2-C CA 7-WC RC WDLP WF D14 D21 210 7045 N7 |

Thats the thing i would have noticed that there was a crack or something but theres a plate over where you could see it. Going to make sure to over haul all the wagon gears with new bearings and grease. ------------- On the farm wd,wd45,180,200,7020,8010,8050,f,L2,2 b engines |

| jjpetrich, do you pull those wagons with a PS ? That jolt between gears can be hard on wagon bolsters. Had the same thing happen to me. |

Had to be a bad pin. 1-1/4 inch pin will take all a 8070 can give it and then some all day long. |

| Years ago a guys wife was hauling to the local elevator with tractor and 2 wagons 500bu in front and 250 behind, when she scaled in and got probed she was waiting for the second wagon and they told her there was non. They hauled 6 to 8 miles, about 1/2 mile along river, they went back looking and after two trips buy saw it flipped in the river with the tires at water level. |

Its not the actuall pin that broke but there is a weld on top and on bottom and the top weld wore through and the play broke the bottom which allowed it to slip through. Fixed it this afternoon and went through all bearings and should be good for a couple years. ------------- On the farm wd,wd45,180,200,7020,8010,8050,f,L2,2 b engines |

Pretty sure the one wheel is off a 4 row AC planter and the heavier one is off a rake...not sure. ------------- On the farm wd,wd45,180,200,7020,8010,8050,f,L2,2 b engines |
