I want to tell ya after mowing them lines that one year and putting a wheel tractor on those wright aways the hills we farm are FLAT ground . Or the time i was winching a Idaco drilling rig out of a drilling location , the rig weighed in somewhere around 200000 lbs and it was just me the rig and one little J D 750 dozer with a Hyster W6F winch and three snatch blocks and the help from the rig itself , blade sunk into the dirt as far as i could sove it while spinning the tracks to build up dirt behind the tracks to help hold the dozer and doing a NO NO of winching about three quarters throttle when one of the snatch blocks broke and came flyen back at the dozer i was out of the seat and almost flat on the platform before it hit the screen made of expanded metal and it went thru it like a sharp knife thru a screen door took off the muffler and air cleaner and landed about two hundred feet out inft. of the dozer . These were 70000lbs rated snatch blocks.
