Pulling a 40' container with a D6D
 

This was taken a few months ago. Nothing real exciting...Im pulling a container we bought to store tools in up to the landing. We have some property in central Ohio and have been slowley working on clearing a spot to build a building. The driveway was nothing more than a few deer trails when i started. I had opened it up in hopes that the driver delivering the container would be able to at least back up the initial drive from the road...he made it about 20 ft before spinning the tires. No diff lock or power divider.. When he dropped the container, about 3 ft of it was laying in the road off the driveway...Hooked it up quick and started pulling. The video starts after ive made it up through the front gate and around the first turn heading up. I had to disconnect the chains to angle the machine for that turn so i wouldnt puncture a hole in the doors with the root rake. That ended up happening anyway later around the second turn..lol
