It's always fun to play tow truck.

We slammed in a new 3 rail horse fence last weekend on a new pasture. When the two guys I had working with me were leaving they threw they left over pine poles in their 3/4t PU and headed out the dirt (now mud) access road. They got around the first corner and dug in up to the axle. My 3720 was parked off behind them. I thought about swinging it around through a field but it was fresh tilled and the 3720 has R4s. Then I remembered I had the 2355 up in the driveway with the 1300lb chipper on the back. Now the 2355 is only 2WD but that chipper makes for darn good traction.
I backed it on down the road and they hooked up their chain to the draw bar. I idled them all the way out the road at 1500 RPM.
The good ole 2355 never slipped a lug. I don't think it even felt the truck behind it.

Great way to finish a stunningly successful (toy) farm weekend
