My dad raised thoroughbreds, but when that went bust he switched to raising Angus calves to slaughter over the summers on a couple farms he picked up under duress. Low maintenance. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

And... before we get bumped to chat... um, he tried driving my 82 longbed Hilux like his Chebbie once. In his mind, first was granny low, and you started in second. Amazingly he managed to get it moving without much rattle. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

That's where I learned to love low geared thingies. Farmall, Allis, Toyota...
