[AT] Healthy Eating, was "Just checking"

[Indiana Robinson]

Our soils must be a lot looser than yours. I ran my 4020 in 5th gear
pulling a 4-16 semi-mount 10" deep... It never had to work at it. In many
areas I could stick it in 6th and throttle way back and it would still pull
it. Of course I never really used it like that but it would pull it OK in
6th.
