    Ran for 15 years like that until I sold it to a YouTuber by the name of Zip Ties N Bias Plies. He still runs it, and never mentioned any grief as of yet.

    Future pumpkin patch hopefully. That one is one we got in Quincy. Planted another smaller one I drug back from the Wee Scon Sin.

    A deer committed suicide earlier by Norwood Mo.. I seen it running from the shoulder and knew if I hit brakes I’d hit it with front. So I floored ole red…deer never checked up. Ran into my front drive tire head first, monkey flipped against rear drive tire sidewall, dolly leg whacked it, spun it around rolling and sliding around on the road, the pull of the trainer sucked it under between the hoppers. And I looked in other mirror, trailer tire missed, barely and it was rolling and spinning until it hit the grass of the median.
    No damage. Just one hair on mudflap and dolly leg…

    With a bed load it wouldn't pull OD. But I have ran it up empty more than a few times. Sketchy with armstrong steering. It has a 330" wheelbase, didn't do a lot of highway work but sure built up arm strength on a soft lease.

    Set your watch back 50 years.

    Does that put truck shopping front and centre? I gather you’re not pulling loads in the Camaro just now

    S-steem, esteam, Ed’s steam. It’s all the same difference.
