    Pulling a 706 Diesel questions?

    Well we did the last pull of the year, kind of a more local pull but shimmed up still we 1 1/8 low and watching I can really see the advantage of a higher hook. He did good, getting his gears and T.A. Figured out. To keep height up he pulled with pretty full tires plus he had to drive 6 miles to...

    Pulling a 706 Diesel questions?

    Ya you are right. I built it well but out of ignorance at the time. Ya, tire pressure and changing if from 9000 to 9500# farm really did effect the height. It concerns me some at a full length draw bar, shortened not so much, 2 1/2 X 1 1/2 cold rolled steel takes a great deal of stress in a...

    Pulling a 706 Diesel questions?

    Ya it could be shortened 7” keeping it pretty much stock yet and nothing is floating (the rules here too) everything bolted plate surface to plate surface with 3/4” dia grade 8 bolts…. It’s just absolutely not adjustable that’s my problem. This drawbar he bought only for pulling and I suggested...

    I like these designs, never saw any that fancy up to the farm tractor class. From what it looks like from the photos is you eliminate the draw bar. I like these designs way you have the fully threaded bolts to lock your hieght in. According to the last inspector we had ‘everything had to be...

    Pulling a 706 Diesel questions?

    I appreciate your suggestions. Drawbar appearing bent is just the camera angle but yes it is possible to move the hit hitch 7” max closer to the axel d/t the power take off shaft and hookers grown on the shaft getting in the way when dropping the hook though. It really is beefier apparently than...

    Bush Hog disc

    Our area, due to multi flower rose, has lost 50%+ of most pasture land as farms are rougher with smaller pastures so it leaves no center open but invades from both sides and we have hills, someone named Ocooch Mtns.. pastures are steep and many places not even sensible to use a tractor and brush...

    Pulling a 706 Diesel questions?

    Well that clears it up, 4 years to new🥹…😎. They finished the 720 Gas project a few days ago (hadn’t run for 20-30 years) but I don’t believe he’ll pull it this year or even if that is what he has planned. It sounds good, the old JD pop pop pop pop sound. We had a neighbor who farmed with a...

    Pulling a 706 Diesel questions?

    I should have said closer to 63 years old but not able to pull in the antique class! Really only 10 years difference between the 706D and my other Grandsons WD 45 which can always pull in antique. Why should the weigh class, not he age, define what is antique or not, I guess is what my question...
