I was up at my Dad's place 2 weekends ago and he wanted me to help him knock down a couple of old chicken coops that he had out back. His idea was to pull them down with a lawn tractor as they were in pretty ratty condition. He hooked a rope to his lawn tractor, pulled and pulled but couldn't pull it over. Then he drove his *new* F-150 around and hooked up to it with a nylon towing sling. He put it into low and one rear tire spun and the chicken coop did move about one inch off the foundation. I went and got my truck, broke out a 7,000 lb. towing chain and rigged it up. Put the beast in low (2wd) and hit the gas. All I saw in the rearview was my Dad diving for cover! The old chicken coop disenigrated into a thousand pieces! I told him to quit trying to bearhunt with a switch. That hot water ford is just an Escort with a bed on the back as far as I am concerned.

 

gotta love big power and traction, sometimes it takes a good yank, and some power under the hood, we had a jeep frozen to the ground by the shop (friend of mine bought it for the motor, and was being stored outside till we tore into it), anyway, his bros Comanche, with 33 inch MTs, and a 6 inch lift couldn't budge it, i hooked my ram up to it, and a couple of yanks later, out comes the jeep, it was fun

 

sounds like he tried to take it easy and you just yanked on it, not a good comparison

 

i was pulling some trees my dad had downed along the side of the road by the farm, all of them but 1 with my Oliver, i hooked the strap up, and broke it, got a chain, hooked it up, and it started to pull it, and started spinning, ****, so i pulled out a bigger gun, a White 4-150 Field Boss, upgraded to 210 horse, that big CAT 3208 V8 diesel didn't even notice the log, people going down the road looked at me funny when i took off, and opened the throttle, and got that CAT motor to talk some

 

You sounded like Max with that post

 

F u jinx!

 

Ya, my parents had an old car sitting a few years, the wheels ahd locked up. My dad tried to pull it wiht his International pickup, no luck. And that things pretty good on torque. So I hooked up, put my truck in 4 low, first gear, and just eased out the clutch. Pulled it out, didn't even tear up the lawn. Now i'm putting in a locker. Even better!
