Good way to get a bolt to 550 ft-lbs of torque?

Posted by Will Herring on August 27, 2008 at 08:10:10 from (136.176.105.80):

I see the hammer strap for the hitch on a John Deere 8100 I was helping work on for a friend requires the two metric bolts to be tightened to 550 ft-lbs... Which is pretty insane, I thought (I've never seen anything that was supposed to be over 220 myself). I had a three foot wrench, but can't imagine I got higher than 140 or so (180 if it was a good day; I had my feet against the back tire and the was pulling up for maximum potential). How much do you think I can get on it with a six foot cheater bar?

How are ordinary farmers expected to put that much torque on something; it's unreal, isn't it? :?: :shock:
