MJ: I don't know who was more surprised that day, my brothers actually doing the pulling, my dad standing at the corner of the house or the DB salesman. Salesman, actually he was the dealer and is married to my frist cousin. He also sold New Holland and dad had bought a baler with thrower, haybine, rake, and manure spreader from him. Of course I being the older of three brothers, got the blame for letting them do that to a new tractor.

It was hard gravel driveway, and 130 was loaded with one set of wheel weights plus chloride. Frank actually cheated a bit using the hydraulics and fast hitch drawbar. He had his hand right on hydraulic lever just giving it enough height to give him advantage, yet keep 130 front wheels very slightly on the ground. When that hitch was up all the way it was about 10" higher than 990 fixed drawbar. The DB was basically shipping weight and with those big tires I expect 130 actually had more pounds per square inch on ground. Had they got to the field the results would have been quite different.
