Attachment Ideas to boost a tractor's power

While doing some research at work, I found the following link, which gives some inspiration for ways to boost the power of our tractors when we get in a really tight spot.

Air Force used to strap rockets to the side of heavy cargo planes to give them extra boost at takeoff. Same idea. Might speed up bush hogging in the back pasture, but those brake turns at the corners might be a bit frantic. :laughing:

OH MY GOD;

Tim The Tool Man Taylor is taking the propane powered Dixie Chopper out of the SHED and Jill is just shaking her head no and wilson is looking over the fence in heaven saying TIM!, what are you doing?

The C130 solid booster rockets are always handy for short runways in 8 packs too he,he,he.

I've taken off in quite a few (think they were) C123s with JATO. Those things take off in about 100 feet. They must really have to reinforce the wings to have those jet engines there. Can envision a jet engine ripping a wad out of the wing and go flying down the runway ahead of the plane. The jet engine would, of course, stop due to ripped off fuel line.
