I asked a simular question to an elderly gentleman about 15 years ago. he owned a 38 JD G which his father had purchased new. In 1940, local farmers had a severe case of bordom, and decided to hook back to back with a log chain and see who can pull his dad"s G backwards,, he reported with a smile, said nobody could budge the big G. 5 years later, they built a sled, whats called a deadweight sled, which just like described earlier,,, stacked large concrete blocks on what looked like a large dog sled. They took turns trying to move the sled with the blocks stacked on as each round went on. They had this style pulling up to the late 50"s then the trasfer sleds came around. Crude in design, but it gave everybody a running start, or a chance to actually move the sled. Today, the same deadweight pull is still going on strong,, (had a 20 year break) until locals once again got bored, and dug out their old sled. Its held right on the street, in front of a Church, and it can go on for days!! The name of the town, Roann, Indiana. I can put you in touch with the gentleman that told me the story from first hand experience if you need to hear the story from somebody who was there. He still pulls the G JD today!! after all those years of pulling history.
