Are you happy with your HP.

When I hit the first hill and the truck started slowing down I initially thought something was wrong. After totaling up the weight of everything in tow and considering how soft the muddy road was that I was on I realized, I'm a little short on power.

Nope.....Deerfield Michigan

No roads around here like that. All dirt or 2 lane potholed blacktop.

People out here buy brown vehicles. They blend in better with the dirt.

She drives the 4030 JD cab tractor pulling a Adco 43xx series hyd hay rake. She backs the Adco up to the baler and hooks it up all by herself.....then drives the JD up on a 14k GN flatdeck pulled by a 1990's F250 flatbed....chains it down and heads on down the road pulling the Adco and the NH baler to the next field.
Country girls can getter' done.

Off the interstates in farm and ranch country we see all kinds of combinations like the pics.

I have no idea how much horsepower I have but it's sufficient for my needs. More means faster tire wear.

[FishOnOne]

I'm happy with 400hp but wouldn't mind more.

Farmers...

They ought to see the stuff I pull down the road behind my farm tractors. If it has an SMV placard and flashing lights, all is good. Just because it's 12 or 14 feet wide means nothing.

...and I'm doing maximum road speed too.....22 mph in 24th on the high side.

Sounds like my neighbor...

It's said, the longer the better. I wouldn't know.

Proper term is grain leg. I have one almost that long (high) and I pull it with a quad.
