Um photographic evidence would be needed before we belived that, and we could all do with a laugh.

true... although my thread was not about what you regularly tow... it was about the most extreme, heaviest thing you've ever towed! So far, nobody has towed anything worth mentioning!

I reckon I could tow the space shuttle on a nice smooth surface ,I reckon that's heavier than a steam engine.

very true... the steam engine was across a dry mud/gravel surface, but nothing too major.
On that basis, maybe this thread is kinda pointless...

You're a ****in hero. That must have took considerable skill and the benefit of many years experience.

OK I wasn't driving, however it was my Land Rover, I was driving a coach on schools when I was 18, and broke down at the bottom of a steepish local hill, I managed to get hold of my friend in the unit next door, and he came out to me. Connected rope off we go and snap, twice the rope snapped, on the third attempt with the AEC's air supply going it was decided to take the old girl off the hill, well the Land Rover a Series 2A truck cab bucked skewed and skipped but managed to get the AEC moving. Ok not 13 tonnes, but a show of just how capable a vehicle the old Land Rover is.

The man at my local scrap yard broke is gearbox pulling out a fence post or tree stump I can't remember which.
He did use reverse gear which was a big mistake.

Thanks. Appreciate your feedback.

Presumably because the forward gears are build to take load, whereas the reverse gear isn't??

BEacuse reverse gear uses a small layshaft and the gears are straight cut and weak as **** compared to th eothers. The strongest gear is 4th

I never really thought about it but he was using reverse so he could see what he was doing.
By snatching the rope with his 90 the gearbox broke.
Reverse gears are straight cut and the weakest gears in the gearbox.
I remember smashing a Austin Maxis gearbox by dropping the clutch when it was in reverse.
