Virginia | Mark that "beast" in question is identical to ours except ours is a 5 row splitter behind a 6 row 7000. Under no circumstances would I ever consider pulling it behind a pickup. When going down the road it will whip a 2955 and this year we used our 4430 and it wasn't as noticeable.
Beware, however, that the weak point on this setup is the planter tongue. Ours broke this past year just a short distance behind the clevis. Take a good look at the tongue and you'll seen the material is pretty lightweight. Our planter is a 7000 conservation and I doubt that makes any difference. I attribute the breakage to the splitter.
My advice would be to haul it home!!!!!!!!!
Also, those bolts that hold the splitter tongues to the splitter tool bar brake easily. Replace them with larger bolts. I'll look at mine tomorrow and see if there is anything else to tell you about. We really like ours and use the JD radial bean meters.
