Mind you I pulled that wagon and Case tractor with a 30 foot heavy logging chain from different angles of approach on semi solid ground. But the old D had some gumbo to contend with .
Our D was a newer model with a 3 speed so she had a fair ammount of power. They weren't geared very high, high gear would do about 5 mph.
They were a short wheelbase tractor with alot of weight back at the rear tires. Fluid filled rear tires were wide spaced too so they held the ground level for good traction. Something about that heavy chain drive and gearing plus the weight of that big heavy flywheel momentum working with that low 900 rpm 501 cubic engine made lots of pulling power.
I always wanted to restore one and tour around the little prairie summer plowing matches and threshing exhibitions I grew up with.
The forest was always only my "2nd home"in my mind. ;)
