Default Better than my tractor!

So, Today I had to pull some POS boat that had been left on my property. About a 20 foot thing, but filled with mud/water etc, no trailer. So I hooked up to it with my kubota tractor (and older B6000) and it would not even budge it...

So I went and grabbed the 97, locked the cdl and put it in low... it was like the boat wasn't even hooked to it! Pulled it to the other side of my property where it can not be seen be us or anyone else. I was pulling the boat backwards with chains running though the steering holes etc, and the boat finally hung on a big rock and I literally pulled the rear end off it. (Again, to the truck you would not have even know it was there) Wild.

Well, once Eye sore gone, and ready to be burned. Thanks to my Rover!

Keep dragging it around til it comes totally apart. Take video of it. Put a dummy in the boat to make it more interesting.

Yes they are better than a tractor, I pulled a 6500lb hay wagon around a field 2 years ago, no problem.

lol, I had to drag it down the road then back onto my property and down a hedge row... I'm actually surprised I didn't bust it up more than I did.

I have now used my rovers to pull stumps, anchor trees for cutting and other various yard work... I should get a tiller and a front bucket for it and I would be all set

Looked around and found pics of me taking down the tree...

It was my 99...

I love dragging stuff around with mine. You could have oiled the bottom of the boat to get it going really good then set it on fire and take off hard.

LOL! I was a little worried when the tractor couldn't move it... It just spun the tires. I even tried to get a good start and jerk it... nada. With the disco, I might as well of had nothing back there. Crazy easy.
