Not mine or my mate's unfortunately, but he does have a set of rolls exactly the same.

The extra pair of wheels are just fitted to increase traction and reduce compaction of the ground. It can make the tractor awful wide though and in my opinion you can get the same result, if not better, by just fitting one set of wider tyres at a lower pressure than the narrower ones, which then keeps the vehicle width at a more manageable scale

when i had my rangey classic always fancied it doing some farming, suppose
when you see images of early '80"s ploughing and such. pretty sure the rr
had a higher tow weight for slow agricultral work. so max braked trailer was
either 3500, or even 4000kg back then, it was a '74 model and think plate
said 6000kg at upto 18mph or similar. Mind the police used classics and
stipulated had to be able to rescue a lorry at the then gross of 32/38 tons.

must find the film of west yorks and greater manchester units dragging
wagons on m62 early 70s in snow.

This is one of the many drawbacks I find with the new Alko and Winterhoff caravan hitches, the need for a grease-less ball and an extended neck (Alko only) I have to keep changing flippping tow balls and jaws. Having said that with a detachable tow bar often you are stuck with just a ball at a fixed height whether you like it or not!

if go for a jaw ball combi where ball isnt on pin and pin is further in,towards car then
ball should be atleast as far out as an alko extended. was on my troll. not got round
to putting one on t2 as not using alko on caravan yet, but for cost of alko extended
nec k ball will plough that into a combi. also can then run break away cable round
the pin.
