They are stong if kept tight. Need to tightend every twenty minutes for a hour after they have been loosened ,witch is chore in itself.

so a guy is probably a lot better off as far as safety goes running steel wheels with a good heavy hub or even a weld-on hub right???

Go with weld on, broke 2 sets of dual hubs with less than 3 hooks apart.

Cast wheels are good for boat anchors NOT for pulling any organization that mandates cast in anything over complety out of the field off the @#$%& spreader farm stock is crazy. What about a bystandard when that cast explodes?

either one welds are the best only if youaxle bearings are done first and you can set the weld hub in as far as you can so later on you put a wider tire on you don't have to cut them off and have to reset them and waste your money Thedual hubs that are good to run are M/w 3-7/8" Ubolts if you can find them you'll have to tigthen them every 4 to5 pulls and usually ther not loose I ran them 2years on altered 700 to800 HP never broke and I broke 1"U first year I ran them this is agood way to go until you figure out were you want to be before putting on weldon once there on there on I've seen guys put them on and change class tire wouldn't fit and had to buy new ones and another set of axles

There are guys still running cast in altered farm and the 2hot class tractors won't run that hot, but I am one that helped found the class and I am not impressed with the rule myself! I have already busted one set of cast and next I am putting on my weld ons. I hope we can change that rule eventually if we get enough guys that want to hook with us I think we can change some minds!

on a different note, what if we hook with you guys in the too hot to farm class and then go to a pull that you dont have, and want to hook in the farm class do you suppose everyone would make a big stink about it? i think it would be a big fight, what is your take on that??

I agree it would be no different if someone hooked in altered and come back to 2hot. I hooked altered first year I put my tractor together and was able to laugh that I took third out of six but two broke and one couldn't get her to light up correctly and people been on me ever since! I love the sport but alot of people whine.
