Unplanned tractor pull

We have been going to Lifelight Festival since 2002! It is a Christian, 3 day, outdoor music festival near Worthing South Dakota. They offer space for camping. We take our pop up and 2 familys from church tent camp with us, sharing cooking duties etc. This year it had rained MUCH on Thursday evening, so much so that at noon on Friday they would not let us in the alfalfa field to camp. Around 1:30 they let us in after placing mulch in the worst spot. I got in using 4L on my Chevy pickup! BUT, then it poured again around 5:30-right after we were set up! This is what I saw pulling some of the rigs in! It is a Minneapolis Moline 4 star!

That is because of the trailer. Dodge would be right there with a Chevy thrown in for good measure. Most likely it's driver error. Stuff like that tires and the gas pedal can get you into trouble fast. It's really surprising the number of 4X4's you see in the ditch here in MN every winter. I'll bet that for every car /minivan I see in the ditch I see 4 to 5 4X4's in, lot of em bottom side up. About an equal share of em too. Ford, Fiat, GM, Toyota, Nissan and Mazda. All of it driver error. The error? Thinking that the can go like he11 cause they have 4X4. they don't know that 4 wheels skidding on ice is 4 wheels skidding on ice. Don't matter, FWD, 4x4 or rear wheel.

Hey look up COZI tv on your cable system, At 7pm every day they show the ORIGINAL "Jeff"s collie". These were before Lassie shows. LOTS of neat old cars and trucks and stuff! Made in 1954 the ones I have seen. Go look!

I remember seeing reruns of that with a 335 or 445 on the show parked by the barn.

My camping neighbor, who had a Dodge diesel and pulling a large gooseneck trailer, had to be pulled in! He told me, on Monday morning, that he hadn't put it in 4x mode on the gravel road!

It's on Direct TV at 3:30 PM eastern time weekdays. Channel 367.

He wouldnt have been pulled in if he had had the
hemi. Its got magical powers, an could have floated
over the mud.

That hemi have some connection to the Essex Tri-dictrional??

Yep! Same engineers designed it! The next version will have over 700hp, so it should be able to drive itself, and have the towing capacity of a 777. Oh and pass everything on the road, even the gas station. Its going to be light years ahead of Ford and Chevrolet, even the government wont be able to bail them!
