Jim: A number of years ago just across highway from my place a guy backed off the roadway with Louisville 9000 and 53' tri axle flat bed trailer. He had backed into about 6 to 8 inches of snow. He backed in to unload some material and not realizing tractor tandems were on hard ice from a previous storm. He could see equipment in my yard that could pull him out, so he sent a helper to see if I would come. At the time I had Farmall 130 running. I asked if truck was close enough to black top that tractor could pull from asphalt. He said yes so I just went with 130. The guy who came to get was having a good laugh as he knew a bit about little Farmalls. When we got to truck, truck driver just laughed, " That little thing wont even tighten the chain, go get some of your real machinery." To which I replied, "Hook your damn chain on." He did and I watched as he got in cab, soon as he hit the park brake air button, I dropped the clutch not giving him time to get Louisville in gear. Of course once I got him moving he never did get truck in gear. There is one trucker got a good lesson not to make fun of little Farmalls. He did insist I take $20. I guess I should have taken 1066 and charged him a $100.
