Wow Jeff, she looks about ready to plant flowers on her!

That's when your starting system HAS to work!

The last time we got really stuck with the older 9U, the pony hadn't worked in years, so by the time we got another tractor on site, we had had to shut it down. It's one thing to get a running tractor unstuck and a whole 'nother situation when it's a dead lump of iron.

We first tried a D5 without a winch and the operator thought he might could shove/dig the 9U out. The D5 couldn't push it out, so he would get on a corner, lift and shove. It looked like he was screwing it into the ground, just kept going down in the mud.

Of course a D7 with towing winch will pull a 9U most anywhere, so it worked out ok in the end.

Here are a couple of more shots before it came out of the mud

The only victim of running the d7 today was the exhaust manifold. It broke off. Other than that it ran great all day. Jeff
