    When you're practicing your backing in that little thing, don't forget to turn the CB off! Last thing you need is an impatient drawing of a truck trying to mess you up.

    That's funny that someone brought this up because, when I was in school, I did the same thing. I was having a little trouble with the parallel maneuver, so I went out and bought a toy truck. But I didn't have the diagrams or nothing like that.

    I used a model tractor and feed wagon to train foreign students. Letting them see the entire set of mechanics and physics helped most of them learn to operate around livestock.

    If it helps you to learn the mechanics of what your doing I would say you just made a very wise investment.

    And if it would have said SWIFT on the side none of the other trucks in the diagram would have hoods. Pull through only.

    I actually found that video and a few of the others that were available after watching that one very informative. Thanks for sharing!
