Brian, Thanks for the info, the Max Lock sounds like the way to go. The truck has less than 120K and a known good rear end and that package is less expensive that a used unknown quality rear end.

been pulling loaded grain wagons 150-350 bu ones loaded for over 30 years out of the fields with the following GM vehicles...1980 Chevy Malibu station wagon, 1978 Buick hearse, (only hearse I know of with a trailer hitch), 1954 Chevy 1/2 2-wd pickup, 1986 Chevy 1/2 4x4, 1987 Chev 1/2 ton 4x4 Suburban, 1997 GMC 1 ton 4x4 pickup, and a 1998 Chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 pickup. I still have all of those vehicles except the station wagon and the 1954 pickup, and they still run and drive.

I can pull a loaded grain wagon out of the field with the '92 F150 that WE still have. The same one where the GMC will spin out trying to turn the corner with it empty.
So? It means nothing....

One bad winter years ago a friend of mine who was Plant Manager at a local manufacturing business was going to work with his Cadillac Eldorado. He came upon a 4x4 pickup high centered on a snow drift. Keith ran his powered window down and asked the guy if he wanted a pull? The guy responded with your Caddy? Keith said yes and popped the trunk open got out and pulled a tug em strap from the trunk. He said here is your end hook it somewhere good. Keith had a Reese hitch on his Caddy and hooked the strap on there and proceeded to yank the 4x4 out of the drift! He also delivered a half ton of Hummer parts to Mishawaka Indiana where they built Hummers in that same Eldorado. It was a rush order and they could not get a truck so keith deliverd in the Caddy. He said he pulled up to the gate and asked the guard where to dropp the parts . the guard did not believe him until he popped the trunk and showed him it was full of parts !

I think it was around mid 70's Chevy had a commercial that had a 4 wheel drive pickup pulling a 4 or 5 bottom plow. Don't know how truthful it was but it was always good for a laugh.

I remember my dad telling after WW2 a friend of his bought a surplus Jeep and claimed it could do anything a tractor could do ! So dad invited him and his Jeep to come out and pull the 3 section drag for him. The Jeep pulled it 1 round of the field and then left as it got hot and was blowing blue smoke out the exhaust !

That second field looks pretty pathetic!
Neighbors just rake hay with their pickup.

when I was in HS, I bought an old 2 bottom rope trip plow on steel at an auction. I was tired of the other farm kids telling how tough their trucks were. so I invited them to prove it! hooked each one up one at a time and put one guy in the back end to pull the rope. all of them except one fell dead in their tracks as soon as the plow went in the ground. out of all the different makes of trucks out there, an old ratty Dodge pulled it the farthest. I think that old plow is still around here. was only used for that.

My brother had hay down that was ready to bale and the neighbor was ready to come bale it, but his only tractor was broke down. He said there were several rubber neckers that nearly ran off the road, trying to watch him rake hay with the old Chevy 4x4. |

People like to pick apart the Nebraska tractor tests......because it's on pavement and isn't real world. The trouble with that line of thinking, is that once you go into "real world", there are countless variables. Somebody always has harder dirt, looser dirt, slipperier dirt, steeper hill, denser sod balls, greasy clay.......always something to be contended. Obviously it's virtually impossible to control every variable, somebody thinks they're a genius if they identify one, as if someone didn't already think of and account for it. That's the whole point of the NTTL tests, to control as much as possible and document the rest. Make your decisions from there. It isn't going to change your mind on what tractor to buy.....it provides information as to what you can expect pulling a certain load at what speeds and how much fuel you'll be burning when you do so. If you can live with that combination for the tractor you're looking at, go for it. Point is, once it comes down to Physics, the Physics don't have any idea what badge is hanging on the metal or what color it was painted. For pulling, it comes down to the weight applied over the traction area and the coefficient of that tractive/friction force for the materials in contact. Where the rubber meets the road as they say. Just saying, what pulls one thing for somebody somewhere sometime, can sometime not do worth a crap for somebody in some other case, and be out shined by something that sucked in the first scenario. |

Was selling standing corn to a nearby town for October decorations one time. Guy in a huge chebbie 4x4 was spinning, getting stuck, couldn't back out of it....Woman in a Ford Explorer backed up to him, hooked on, pulled him on out. THAT was funny!!!

what most trucks need is 1000 pounds in the back of the bed.... then they will pull. Like Tbone said, its getting the traction to the ground..... kind of like a tractor with a loader on it... you need WEIGHT in the BACK end.

one local business had a 2 wh drive pickup that they used to plow snow off their lot every year, they just loaded the back end with a lot of snow for weight, it worked just like the others with the 4x4's. I had a snow blade on the front of one of my conversion vans one year, got a lot of looks, but it didn't work for chit!

When a buddy of mine was in college, they strapped a beer pong table to the front of a Ford Focus, and ran a rope back into each window so they could angle the blade either side. Cleaned out the driveway to their house with it. Where there's a will there's a way! A truck with weight in the back and good tires will do a LOT. Don't use suitcase weights though.....when you slam on the brakes to avoid a deer, bad things happen. Ask me how I know. A worse situation and the flying weights could have been very dangerous. I switched to sandbags after that. The neighbor is a veterinarian. He did his "residency" in Montana in the late 70's. He said they used to build up a few inches of ice in the back of the trucks, then put the vet service unit in on top of that. 2 wd truck would go a lot of places with that rig.

I was raking hay on day with the 180, then saw steam blasting outta the breather tube, shut it down right away, the baler man was coming in a couple hours and I didn't have another tractor handy, soooooo….I finished the field pulling the rake with the hearse. the baler man came early and saw what I was doing...he just stopped and starred, when I got done and met up with him...he didn't say a word! he just started in baling! LOL (it worked o-k, was inside with air conditioning and my but on leather seats, and the stereo was cranking out!)
