Looking at that flatcar, I would say that it had a full load as all the
visible tractors are loaded to the side suggesting that there are more than
the three visible tractors.
As a side note, I attended an Airshow today where I photographed both a John
Deere model B and a Farmall H (It is amazing what turns up at these events
!). I will post the shots in the file area for everyones reference.

Also of note is the load of green 6 wheel quary dump trucks on page 156.

Hey Yuze Guys,

I have been doing a little photo research on Farmalls and mix'd freights
and
I found a shot in (the Late) Don Ball Jr's book America's Colorful
Railroads.
Here is what I have found so far ... on page 178, at the bottom a 1956 UP
mix'd steam local and two cars back there are at least 3 Farmalls on an
unidentifiable flat. (great color photo though check out the stock cars).
I
find some of his books very good for reference but the quality of some of
the
prints he published sometimes leaves a little to be desired. This photo is
quite nice as the color held up on it over the years just right.
