I mentioned an impromptu trip to New Hampshire with a tractor in tow. It was this tractor, dwarfing my puny Chevy 1500. I was a little nervous, but I was assured that an F150 with a smaller engine had made the trip. We estimated that the tractor and trailer weighed double what my truck weighs, probably topping 10,000 lbs.
She made it ok. It was a little slow going and a little bouncy with the hydraulic brakes traveling a few inches before engaging, especially around the Gorham/Standish area. When we disconnected the rig it was like a great weight had been lifted from our shoulders.
I've still got a nasty cough hanging on.
It rains, and rains.
