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. :>)

Now why did you go and pull him out anyway? Do you know how long you could have eaten off of a Schwanns truck in your yard? Should have just given him a ride back to town and told him to come get the truck in spring. ;>)

...Yes, now please send me my commission. I have been preaching the virtues of a Hydro ever since I bought my Hydro 70 in 1975. Nothing like being able to exactly match the power to traction to load like a Hydro. And Allan, I will accept Greenbacks, no problem..... ..... ...( real big grin!!!)..... .QR

So many tractors and so little room in the machine shed. Glad to see that you got some snow out there. We are dry here in the eastern part of the state but not as bad as it is out west. It would be hard to lose that bright red tractor in the pure white snow. It is amazing what a difference two big tires pulling makes compared to the two smaller ones on the 4x4. My little Dakota has the 4 wheel anti-spin differentials in it. It sure is nice in the mud and snow.

Aw heck,

Everything I have is bent up and broken. :>)

Limited shed space is decided by a peckin' order 'round here. First come, first serve. Some of those big bullying diesels are more than a little put out about it too. :>)
