Well while the ALFUNCE or Ink -O-HOL back in like 75 i think it was myself and my one buddy and his brother and the one neighbor tried this . Cheve had a commercial with one of there K20 maybe a 30 pick up dragging a four bottom plow down thru a field , Welp Mike myself and Ronny all had 3/4 ton Ford F 250's 4x4's . Mikes truck had one of my barn yard 390 's in it , mine had a 428 super cobra jet that was a left over factory team engine , Ronny 's a slightly modified 360 and mike Brother Jim had a K 20 Chebby with A 400 small block 4 BBl. . Mine and Jim's were Automatics with mine being a built C6 and Jims was a stock 400 the rest were four gears . Ronny had the one field out by the road that he had just started to plow when he saw us all pull into the shop next door . and he came over . Some how we got talking about the Chevy commercial and a few more barley pops went down and more talk then Jim said MY TRUCK can do that easy . Well out back in the fence row sat a set of 4 bottom drag plows , in the back corner of the shop sat a Briggs and Stratton with a hyd pump a five gallon tank full and a two way valve and a few feet of hose . Then the back hoe was fired up and off to the fence row and out came the four bottoms and up to the shop , the tires even took air and all grease fitting took grease , to clean off years of rust off the moldboards the 9 inch grinder was put into service and Jim back up the pin was dropped and off to the field with one of us in the bed running the hyd. dirt started to fly . Going down the hill towards the swamp went pretty good it was the coming back up the grade that lest just say it got interesting , with 7.50x16 mud and snows and no posi the tires were shell we say ROTOTILLING more dirt then the plow was turning . Next up was Ronny's F 250 him like Mike and i had 1250x33x16.5 lets get down and dig tires plus a traction loc rear . Ronny had no problem in third low range as he Speed shifted from second to third , way to fast for moldboard plowing . Then Mike took a turn at it but he kept his speed down , then i hooked to it , by the time we were don playing we had that 12 acres plowed . Well ya got it plowed now it needs disced and dragging a 13.6 disc first pass was really rough on the suspension and anybody riding in the truck . For years in my Hobby farming i only had one tractor and relied on my 4x4 to get me pulled out when i got stuck , sometimes it would do the job with the addition of chains on all four wheels and extra weight in the bed , BUT every once in a while Ah yea NO ain't happen Got stuck one time that even with the help of another friend with a larger tractor with duals and a close neighbor with a bigger tractor then my one friend had and my pick up she was not COMING OUT and to get it out required a bull dozer with a 60000lb winch and a snatch block straight line pull did nothing but break and 1 1/8 cable . Yea someone will say well why didn't ya get a big wrecker in , welp there was NOWAY to get a wrecker back in . To get the dozer back in from where i could unload i have to wade thru the creek with water up to the floor plates , The wheel tractors could come in from the back side thru the old strip cuts and up over the spoil banks of the old strip mines as they could not cross the covered bridge .
