I don't make a habit of pulling 6 wagons at a time , but once in the while when changing location to combine I'll do it to save some time. I have pulled 8 before and like pulling 6 it is unreal how well they follow. You would think the opposite would occur and they would wander all over the road. It is almost comical to watch as you turn into or out of a driveway. The last one turns just about exactly where the first one did. Here also, you would think the last ones would try to cut the corner, but not so. They follow like they are on rails, hence we say wagon train. Rod.

When my dad used to do custom silo filling he would leave in the morning for the job with the 830 eh, chopper, 2 or 3 boxes, and the blower. Was quite a train too. |

Yes he put the pipes in the wagons, but they weren't self unloaders they were dakken live bottoms and the blower was the hopper type. |
