OK, my little TC24 isn't big, I think I take the prize /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif 2 Chevy pickups and an 8X16 shed all at the same time.... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
OK, OK. So the trucks helped /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Seriously, probably the heaviest thing otherwise I've hook on to was just Saturday. Couldn't get pictures because it wasn't my oooops. But if you remember this A Good and Bad way to spend your birthday you remember how wet a part of my land his, my neighbor was mowing his part of the same ditch with his 36 HP Long. I don't know if he had a 5 or 6 ft cutter on the back, but it got hung up which in turned caused his tractor to get stuck. He tried to use the loader to get out, but the only thing it did was pushed enough dirt back up under the front of the tractor to lift the front tires off of the ground. He had the rears probably 3/4 of the way buried just spinning in soup - yes they were R1s. He came to get me, I told him I would try, but not sure what I could do, knowing that his tractor probably weighs 3X what mine does. I get to where he is at. First time nothing. I'm spinning all four tires and the loader won't even curl because his tractor is so heavy. We disconnect the cutter and I reconnect the tow strap around the front of his tractor so that it pulls down on my tractor more. Nothing. We decide to back them both up and get a little bit of a run (Hey, as much of a run as you can get with tractors in the lowest gear they got /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif) and a little jerk. He was able to back up to the cutter (still disconnected) about 8". We give it a go he went right back to the same spot he was and about the time I got the tension out of the strap and chain ( /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif I know don't use the 2 together, but it was the only way I could reach him and both are a lot bigger and stronger than my little TC /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif) and I was able to jerk him up about half way out of the hole he stayed there and I backed up again to get another run. Low and behold and he came up and out. Still had to give a little more assistance when his back tires hit the ruts from the front /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif. We then disconnected the chains and strap and put them to the back of his tractor and around the cutter so that he could drag it out. His power washer had died so he then brought the tractor up to our house so that he could get some of the mud off. Tractor sure was a lot prettier when he returned the power washer yesterday /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif. Sorry no pics /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif, but like I said, wasn't my ooops.
