Okay, I'm Sold

Mornin' All,

The old Hydro 70 got put to the test late last night.

Don't know if you are familiar with the Swann's Delivery trucks or not, but they are something like a 2 1/2 ton International diesel and they are HEAVY! Loaded to the hilt.

Ya 'bout have to know the lay of the land here in the hills, but this guy gets this big truck stuck sideways in my driveway; and I do mean STUCK! Every spin of the wheel and this feller is coming ever closer to ending up right smack in my living room, which lives over the edge and at the bottom of the hill.

Anyway, I worked for half an hour trying to get him tugged back up to the road with my 4x4 Powerstroke. Couldn't budge that big brute. And now, he is all but ready to slip down over the edge of the hill and onto the roof of my house.

Told the guy that I'd try the tractor, would have to chain it up, but that I just knew it couldn't move him either, 'cause it is just a little Hyro70 with no fluid in the tires.

Long story short, I fire 'er up and decide to try it without the tire chains first. That old beast sucked him right back outta there and back up on the road like the truck wasn't even back there.

Kinda like the hyros. :>)
