One needs to think about the unthinkable, a possible collision due to someone else's fault. That simple 800lb load becomes an 800lb projectile pretty quick. You're airbags may save your face and frontal cortex but the flying cub may take out the back of your head as she comes through the truck cab.
Ever hear EMS guys talk about collisions with people that put 1 gallon paint cans in their back seat? There is a reason they don't talk about it. It ain't pretty.
It's your 800 lb tractor, so do as you may.
