Give the RTV a true work-out yesterday. Went over to some property over
in the Mississippi hills to work food plots for deer.
This is time of the year to apply the lime for the food plots. Trying to get
the ph right on the ground.
Well, as many know. Mississippi has some very steep hills & hollows. Some that I would not dare to navigate with anything.
We got a tractor in the back of some of the woods. On the back of tractor, is a three point seeder/spreader attached. Tractor had to go a different route ( long way around ) that we were going on the RTV for the danger of the slopes, very steep hills, etc ...
Using the RTV as a shuddle, pack mule, pack-rat, go-fer, going all the way back to the front of the place where we had a gooseneck trailer loaded with lime, pallets of
40 lb. sacks. Back and forth, Back and forth, Back and forth.....
We were loading up to 18-20 sacks up into the RTV. Not that is would not tote more, for it would of carried more , it's was just the danger of the steep hills. Spooked I would hit a
wash-out and turn over. Yep, pucker factor was engaged !!!!
Only one person was crazy enough to ride with me. The rest just would not do it. They said it was just to much of a risk.
It was a sight to see. The RTV was the show of the day. All the men were shocked, impressed, and just plain out speech-less for what hills the machine when up with the loads it had. I too, was very impressed with our RTV.
Wish we had a camera or video. But God only give us two hands. And they were busy just holding on. Seat belts, of course, was used ........
Adding a pic of what type of spreader we were using ...... ( not actual tractor or spreader used )
......... two guns
