hauling 1030

1030 TOM · Nov 29, 2012

ever one that has ever hauled tractors and equipment has had various adventures though I would share one, my 1030 had a front leion blade on it, double rear wheel weights,2 point reaper with 800 lb of weights hanging on it. this beast,weighing over 16000 lb was hooked to a 12 ft. drag box scraper loaded on a penal hook trailer behind a dump truck ,traveling down a busy 4 lane i noticed people staring and pointing at the tractor ,thats when I noticed smoke from the trailer , the tractor having a bad key switch had to be started by crossing out 2 wires hanging from the dash ,well the starter wires had got together and the tractor had started and it was spining in reverse on the trailer thank god for good boom chains TOM

That is what a friend of mine would call "having good luck in bad luck". What a story! Don
