southern MN
Always hauled 500 bu (230 & 270 bu) wagons behind my 7700 - 85 hp tractor about like yours. This year I got a pair of 300bu wagons, haul 600 bu. That is about the limit with the hills around here. Stopping doesn't seem to be a problem. Tractor has fluid in all 4 tires. It is quite stable - roundbale road ditches, etc with it.
It is common to see 325 bu wagons behind a 1/2 ton pickup around here, no brakes on the wagon. I'm not saying that is a good thing, but pretty common to see. I feel better with my tractor & 2 wagons....
