Back in the steel wheeled tractor era, our neighbor was moving a garage with a steel wheeled tractor. ( Always amazes me how many buildings were moved back then).
Tractor spun out climbing a hill, and the giant lugs on the steel wheels were causing the tractor to lurch so violently that he couldn't pull the clutch, sat there digging a hole and getting thrown around. Not sure how it was solved in the end.
My grandpa went from rubber tires back to steel wheels so he could use his John Deere D for repiling brush with a contraption the local blacksmith and him constructed. I'm not sure if they retrofitted the wheels or traded the entire tractor.
And I get frustrated doing those jobs with the right equipment, I can't imagine how much fun it would have been with that outfit.
Or pulling stumps with a breaking plow and a long chain. When the tractor spins out back up and hit it with more speed until finally pulling the stump out. What could possibly go wrong...

.[/QUOTE] Dont forget a D had no hydraulics. Neighbours did something similar built a piler on skid shoes.
