I have a W-9, and it's a charming chap. It garners attention around Central Ohio as these beasties weren't sold here in any quantity I believe.

Yes, they are brute strong, but YOU have to be brute strong to phish that thing around in tight quarters. I used my 9 one time to do "pull-off" work during one of our Fair's Rough Truck contests. Yes, it was unusual to see something like that, but after that evening I thought I went three rounds with Joe Frazier. What a delight it was to get on our 460 the next day. No comparison in handling and feel. But...ya know, the 9 wasn't made for jockeying hay wagons around. Hooking it to a combine somewhere in Kansas and not turning around until two miles have ticked off is their game. And THAT'S part of its charm, too.

Or how about working summerfallow in North Dakota pulling a 13 or 15 ft chisel plow on 60 or 80 acres, or a 20 ft press drill (two 10s hooked side-by-side) in spring seeding. They were quite common in their day anywhere up and down the central Great Plains.

Yep, pretty common from out your way. This is row crop country here.

I have not been able to really work my 9 doing hard pull work. All the plows around my area worth hanging behind it are hydraulic lift, and my W-9 was not equipped thus.

Speaking of wheat or wheat land, my brother is fond of looking at the fronts of tractors to see if they are from out west. He says wheat stubble will play heck on metal if enough of it gets rubbed up against an axle or something.

We've got an F-20. I haven't really looked, but he tells me there's a bolt head I guess under the lower bolster or pedestal that's danged near worn away. He says a lot of wheat miles did that.
