    The Garage Queen is a workhorse!

    Ok girls...you may not believe it, but the Garage Queen flexed her muscles a couple days ago.

    I have been dealing with crappy-ass lot grading guys for one of my developments and these houses needed to be prepped for landscape and sod. As usual, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. So I loaded up the tractor on the car hauler and went to work... Here are a few pics:







    Yup, there she is in all of her glory. Pulled the trailer with no problems... I did lose a few mphs going up a 6-8% grade, but just a little push on the go-pedal flashed the converter and it brought me back up to speed.

    I even accidentally spun the tires at a stop sign... I got pissed cause people have NO concept of a 4-way stop, so I 1/2 mashed the gas and I spun the tires slightly. I bet if I would have floored it, I could light the tires up--even with the trailer on there!

    Thanks Nate. I might have to start advertising for tractor work--cause I enjoy having the trailer on there--it makes me feel important...

    Funny. I pulled 3K# with my Blazer and the same engine as you (LOL) and it could barely do it.

    Just kidding mayne. Good job. Keep up the good work......and stop photoshopping your truck into pics of real work being done.
