I followed him for a stretch and he was doing ~65mph.

what is that?

what is that?

It is a grain cart.

It is used to transfer grain from the combine in the field to the truck waiting at the edge of the field or on the road when it is to muddy for the truck in the field.

It has an auger in it to unload into the truck. They hold ~1000 bushels.

Hopefully it was empty when doing those kinds of speeds.

Those look like Ag tires. Definitely not rated for any speed at all...

I was behind an empty gravel hauler the other day when a trailer tire blew out at 60-MPH. Talk about a loud bang and a cloud of smoke. Fortunately the tire didn't shred before the driver was able to pull off the road.

I'd hate to be near that thing when an NHS (Not for Highway Service) tire like those on the grain cart let go. The driver towing the grain cart qualifies as an inDUHvidual in my book.

he is going to get uneven tire wear like that!

I love it. We see that kind of stuff all the time around here.

A few years back I had to work on a Sunday early and was heading to the airport at something like 6 am. I was on a 4 lane state highway and saw what appeared to be a semi with a normal box trailer tail-gating a dually pickup. They were running about 55mph. As I passed them I soon realized the truck was towing the Semi and trailer with a 20' piece of chain. The semi was running so I guess he had his air brakes but obviously was not able to move under his own power.

Hate to say it but it was a 3500 Dually Dmax. Builder will love it tough!

I got feeling this wouldn't be the drivers first time..hope he remembers where all the bumps/potholes and deer doesn't jump out in front going that speed.

Yes it is empty.

It would weight over ~65,000 lbs. loaded.

A problem with a tire could be an issue on anything but I doubt it is really a big concern here.

Why would you say that?
