7810 don't have the expertice that you have at pulls I'm just watcher, but I know like you say all the power in the world does no good if you can't get it to the ground and make it pull!!!!CM

I also had a similar encounter with my Ruby when trying to pull a small car in park across the parking lot. The engine bogged down and the tires did not spin. I then tried it in low and Esp. I still was not able to pull the car but I sure made one hell of a smoke show.

I have noticed that if you leave the Ruby in auto it must not start in 1st because when I put in esp the initial power surge is greater.

Yes from now on, if I have to pull a heavy load I am going to use low and ESP. When I take the Ruby in for its first tune-up I am going to mention this to the delear. I have also noticed that there is better engine braking in D1 than in D2. I really like the way this machine handles. Better than a 450es in my opinion.

Wonder if the car had the brakes locked up that you could not push it?

I highly doubt it was easy to push around a Grizz and an SP these machines are not at the top of there classes for not having allot of power to spare. Not saying you machine is not good but remarks that say it was EASY and all that are usually not totally realistic. SP's and Grizzlies are always the top performers at pulls. everyone one i have seen it has always come down the the SP and the Grizz. Granted there was never a Traxtor there. Even if it did beat them I doubt easy would be a word used to describe what it would take.

xepathfinder,
I second that thought.If you read my earlier post to him,you'll see I agree with you.EASY is hardly the word the guy should of used,that is,unless the Grizz or Sportsman was in neutral with no one navigating it.====Bill
