Mornin' All, The old Hydro 70 got put to the test late last night. Don't know if you are familiar with the Swann's Delivery trucks or not, but they are something like a 2 1/2 ton International diesel and they are HEAVY! Loaded to the hilt.

And now, he is all but ready to slip down over the edge of the hill and onto the roof of my house. Told the guy that I'd try the tractor, would have to chain it up, but that I just knew it couldn't move him either, 'cause it is just a little Hyro70 with no fluid in the tires. Long story short, I fire 'er up and decide to try it without the tire chains first. That old beast sucked him right back outta there and back up on the road like the truck wasn't even back there. Kinda like the hyros. :>) Allan
