i USED TO PULL A 650 bushel Brent box with my CX 100 CaseIH. It is about same horsepower but not as heavy as 856. I did have 1000 lbs. weight on the back. Hauled hundreds of thousands of bushels 10 miles to market. 4 wheel brakes on trailer which I kept in perfect working order. Took me a long time to get her up to 22 mph. road speed and then any little incline would pull it down. I would still be doing it but traffic around Mankato, Mn. has increased ten fold to where it was to dangerous out there. So I bought a tandem grain truck. I think if I were to go back to wagon I would not want more then 500 bushel and 400 might be a better fit. Starting the load is one thing but stopping it is the bigger issue. I have a 350 bushel wagon with rear wheel brakes that I used to pull with my 706. Anything over 350 should have brakes unless you have a really big tractor.
