Allan: I don't see a whole lot wrong, plow is in transport lock, and he is just about to move it. Maybe going to put plow out by road with a for sale sign. Maybe he finished plowing and hooked 806 to disk, then decided he needed plow moved. Cub would do it faster than unhooking again.

I used to have a drawbar, 3 point adaptor for my Case 1737 skid steer. (quick attach where bucket goes) Skid steer had aux hydraulic valve. Best machine I ever saw for putting equipment in shed for winter. I'm sure that caused a few laughs when people driving by saw that hooked up to 5 bottom semi mount, 20' disk or 25' cultivator.

Any of you who bought a new 1066 will remember there was a recall on rocker arm assembly. Mine broke a rocker arm before they got to it. Happened in the middle of field, similar conditions to that photo. Called dealer, he informed me he had complete new assembly in shop for my tractor. He wanted me to tow tractor back to my shop, they would right out. As all my other tractors were busy, the young operator and I unhooked the disk. We then proceeded to tow 1066 off field, (about 500' to black top) with Super A. The only real problem we encountered was getting that 1066 hydrostatic steering to steer without engine running. I had to stop several times and shift over to pull at angle in direction he had to steer. We landed 1066 in shop. Now that was a lot more pull for a SA than that Cub is doing, even if you consider weight percentage. No, Allan those little Farmalls will pull a higher percentage of their own weight than the big ones will.
