How much can a John Deere 4440 pull?

[Farmer28]

Gravity wagon does have brakes on it. Ground is relatively flat the rolling 'hills' or slopes I'm talking about are all gradual and you can see over all the 'hills'

Is your JD4440 2-WD or 4-WD ?


Very limited tractor capability to brake a wagon on even a slight slope, if 2-WD.

But the 5610 does weigh that much. Filled 4 tires, belly pan, loader.

You must have a "very thick belly pan" on that Ford tractor.

3x6 runners, cab and all are 3/8 thick tubing. Belly pan is 3/8" plate. We wanted weight.

 

[Tx Jim]

3/8 plate weighs 15.3 per #s per sq foot so an 4 X 8 sheet weights 489.6#s belly pan plus the attaching frame/hardware. That still requires a lot for weight for liquid ballast & FEL to achieve 13,600 #s total weight.
