[AT] Plowing in Ohio/Long

[David Bruce]

I agree with Charlie the snap coupler/traction booster set up worked 
extremely well when properly set up.
Most soil here is red clay but then you will run into veins of sandy 
soil and without the traction booster design the plow just sinks when 
you hit the sandy soil and hangs when you return to the clay.  With it 
you would plow right along.
Hopefully someday I'll get the old D-14 back in working shape so it can 
pull the 3x14 plow I used as a youngster.
worked very well and I loved the sound of that engine.
