With my old 806, when it starts to slip a bit, the inner wheel digs in somewhat, then the outer duel is on the ground picking up the load and it helps with traction and stops the slipping. (Only run duel on non furrow side while plowing)
I can't load the outside duals, as lifting near #1000 is not accomplished manually, I would have to use the loader tractor.
But I do see a good benefit of using duals, especially when disking (both wheels are dueled) as it provides more floatation and less wheel slip occurs, if any.
I also use duals on the JD 730 when pulling the planter, as it produces less compaction and a more even planting depth.
Yes, I'm talking a bit larger operation here, but the principles are the same.
