I pulled a 70' mobile home trailer

well this past saturday, i pulled a 70' mobile home trailer with the ole war wagon!! it was in a field and we had to move it about 1500 feet to the other side of the field. we put two axles under it, and lowered it down on my trailer hitch. i knew that id hav the power to do it, but we were worried about the weight being an issue. hooked up and had a JD 310 backhoe to push on the rear of the trailer cause my rear end was in a soft mud hole to start. i pulled in 4lo 1st. just let off the clutch hit second, then third, and left the backhoe! every one couldnt believe it! was about to hit 4th when the left side fell into the ditch that we had the electric and water burried in and it busted one tire of the rim and the other off the lugs on the left side, i still pulled it about 8 more feet till i hit another mud hole and just lost traction. we fixed the wheels and hooked my buds 04 3/4 ton dodge cummins 4wd to the front of mine and took off, this time really leaving the backhoe.
this time we just kept it in 1st gear so we wouldnt bust any more wheels off. we got to where we needed to park it, and my bud slowed down for some reason, so i shifted to 2nd, and just about passed him. everyone couldnt believe it. now all my buds think the ole war wagon is some kind of mystical beast!! i love it. now i want to pull some more stuff. we got some pics. when i get them off the camera, ill post the reason for me tryin to get some speed was that it was raining, and the ground was kinda soft in several places and i was just tryin to get up some momentum. anyhoo, i wanna pull something else!!! it was awesome
