    And what would you use to drag a tank backwards???? A Case quad trax tractor is just the thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmjaaSGqTX0#t=93

    Trying M813s and M939s at Tractor pulls

    It would be easier to pull a static dozer from the side than from the front. Think of the cleats on the dozer tracks. From the side, they are facing the direction you would be pulling, thus there would be less resistance. from front or rear, the cleats are perpendicular to the direction of...

    Trying M813s and M939s at Tractor pulls

    You are the wiser one. To not risk damage. I felt a little better knowing there were two tow bars at the ready.

    Trying M813s and M939s at Tractor pulls

    Trying M813s and M939s at Tractor pulls

Got hooked, and put the case in low. When I shifted the transmission into gear, dummy me put it in 5th and let it shift on its...
