Wow! On dirt? Or carpet? Either way I'm really surprised! Although I guess when I stop to think about it I've known guys to pull around their children behind their trucks, so I suppose it's definitely doable.

Of course as you mentioned before even with a decent pull the tranny may have taken a substantial beating because of it. But then again I may be wrong. Sure would be fun to try though, LOL.

No ...not on carpet they would die there...they pull a lot more on carpet than dirt but on dirt they did hold their own.

big rig on carpet combined weight sled & lead 95# a full pull won it
big rig on dirt "" "" " "S&L 35#pull off weight about 25' won it

i am up for the name change as well....i am toying with the idea of using the tamiya rigs and making a puller out of one just to see how it would do....Kinda like an exhibiton thing...I have a spare king hauler so its getting torn down and built tough for pulling

I was already corrected for doing that on another picture thread don't worry about it ....it is OK now.....Jeff Stickle is going to try one of these semis for pulling and you will get your answer on pulling on dirt anyways he is going to beef his up.
