john: You just reminded me of a story about big plows. A sawmill near my hometown had 24" moldboard trailer breaking plow they used behind a dozer. The mill had bunk houses and one of the men staying there always parked his pickup backed up to the plow. He was also doing some heavy courting at night. One evening while Roy was cleaning up to go courting, some of his co-workers put a cable around the rear axle of his pickup and tied the other end to the plow, giving him 20' of slack cable. Roy came out of the bunk house in a hurry jumped in the pickup and took off. It drapped him over the steering wheel, broke the center bolt on his rear spring and cut off the brake line. A welder in the near by shop heard the crash. He knew who was responcible, but he also knew Roy a forman had been using some quite heavy handed tactics with these young employees. The welder told me, everyone learned a valuable lesson. The welder was a brother in law to the owner, and decided it was best left with no one else other than those involved knowing. Of course they were never sure that was the case.
