Oddly I’ve never seen any of these with dual rear wheels. Anyone out there ever done it? ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

| Yes, have a set of clamp-ons for the 6080, haven't been on in years though. Dad used them in the spring when planting and fall pulling wagons. |

| Since most of them were not heavy tillage tractors,most never got dualled. I have clamp on duals for my 45 and used to use them when it was the big horse on the farm. My 8070's grin and wink at the 45 when they drive by. |

I figured someone had done it but just haven’t seen pictures of any. I’m sure it makes for a nice looking tractor along with adding traction on a 2 wheel drive. Our 20’ AC 2200 disk would be 1 implement that it would probably help with traction. Don’t have duals for my XT either. Just was curious. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

| The beauty of duals when discing plowed ground, is the disc can be operated a little shallower and still wipe out the tractor tracks. A win-win situation !! |

| We used to spring plow,harrowgate then disc in dry fert and harrowgate again. The duals were a big help in staying on top and keep traveling. |

| A D-17 IV gasser would handle a 13' 6" 200 series disc much easier with 16.9 x 28 duals on the rear. |

| Cousin that lives a mile away still has the 6060 his dad bought new. Had 1804x28's when new. Uncle Dan had clamp-on duals for it. The son, Doug, got a pair of 18.4x34 tires, wheels, and centers from the junkyard, probably from a 6080, that it now wears. Don't think he has duals for it now though. |

| That will step up road gear for him !! 6060's were pretty slow with 28 inch rubbers. |

That's the disc I have for the 45. T-bar hitch makes it work great!

| We had the snap-coupler style Traction Booster drawbar too. Between that and duals, any and ALL discing (even plowed ground) was HIGH 3rd gear always. |

| When my 6060 came new, Dad used it to pull a corn planter after about 25 acres he put duals on it off the wd45 I believe they were. not 18.4 x 28 like the inner tire. I took the 18.4 off and put on 16.9 x 34 tires and rims made a much better tractor out of it then, and yes road gear was much nicer if you had to get anywhere with it. It is a nice lightweight tractor great on a baler or forage blower. I use it just for an auger at harvest now and for spraying. A full tank of fuel, I can spray 450 acres. It is the most economical set up I have on the farm. |
