My profile says I live in Kansas. It makes no mention of where I am from.
The OP did not initially state what he was wanting to do with his tractor. Some blanket generalizations were made that may or may not apply. Keep in mind that this thread is not just for the benefit of the OP, but also future people who may read it who may or may not have the same intent as the OP. As far as pulling a wagon full of kids, that's a pretty light load and I doubt that would cause an issue. I don't like to argue. It's just that sometimes this 'tunnel vision' advice gets posted that does not apply universally, and someone later on who doesn't know better might read the information in this thread and make an expensive mistake because they didn't know all the pertinent information. I'd hate to see someone that wanted to pull stumps or something like that stumble across this thread, drop $250 on a creeper, and then break something in it trying to pull a stump with a heavily-weighted tractor. I have wasted time and money due to bad advice from people that didn't have the complete picture, and I'd hate seeing that happen to someone else.
I have been around these tractors for about 10 years now...there are other forums that have existed long before this one came about. I can't provide specific examples, but problems with creepers used for things other than their intended purpose have been discussed at length elsewhere.
