Funniest story I ever heard about towing farm equip. down a road was about 15 yrs ago. Eastern IA guy was towing a chisel plow behind His 3/4 ton 4X4 pickup down a freshly blacktopped county road. Nice smooth road so He was moving along pretty good clip. And of course the chisel plow was just bouncing a very little bit where the splices were in the new blacktop. The pin holding the wheels down into transport position bounced out and the points on the chisel stuck into the fresh blacktop. Guy who told Me the story said the truck frame & body stopped short in only a few (maybe 10?) feet but the whole drivetrain shifted forward, engine, transmission, transfer case, etc. so the fan was sticking out thru the grill. Guess they "Totalled" the truck.
