I stayed at a Holiday Inn last week!

I use to drive semis back in the 70s. I had an International with a 238 HP diesel and towed 50,000 lbs up and down the Rockies. There were times when I could have walked up a hill faster than I could drive, but I eventually got where I was going.

My grandfather's farm tractor had a 24 HP engine. My lawn mower has more power now.

Nowadays pickups tow half that weight with twice the horsepower as my old semi. Things sure have changed.

Way to go. Farmers get my respect.

^^^^ ha ! ha ! .....segway ! Good one !!! love it.

Trying to convince the old man to get one of these. :S

Had a bit more fun today. All the tractors were in the field and had to move full wagons 12,000kg around the farm to unload. Clutch was gone on the farm truck so I used my tahoe. 4 Low came in handy today.
No sway control or WDH used, lol ;)
