Re: Jimmy/Detroit Diesel Videos

I think Sweet 30 is right, the aide was for lack of traction on that steep grade. We know that Jimmy had the power to pull on it's own! I love it where you can see the smoke shooting straight up out of the pipes. Ain't no black. That mill is burning all that fuel!! I was also a bit disappointed to see the loader pushing, but that was like a truck pull with the weight on the sled fully forward, power vs traction. Traction kills the pull.
