Driftless SW Wisconsin

As you may be able to see in the photos, the tank on the caddy was empty in these early startup runs. The customer was loading fertilizer from his tank truck as I was leaving.

I was very impressed with how this tractor handled the negative hitch weight when turning even with the tank empty and 16 rows up. I did not really note exactly what tractor model this was but I did not see any problem. But I was not driving it either.

It was an FWA as you can see and that maybe a requirement/help with a cart such as this when the tank is empty.

There does need to be some way on the caddy to latch the toolbar up - I didn't see one and this is a MUST.
