Broken hitch on first pull.... Seen that happen before.

The Decision Maker is a whole lot harder to move than it looks like, isn't it Marty??

I broke the 2" steel stock that I welded to. Probably heat transfer weakened it.

Now, for the discussion... I want to be in 3rd. I could hold 2800, 3200 or anywhere in between in 2nd gear and 3rd gear no problem. I've talked to jody and I think I'm going to adjust two of the tunes. One is going to be locked in 2nd from the start for hard tight tracks (like the buck usually is) and the other is going to be locked 3rd from the start for slick tracks like the buck was that night since I was the first puller and it had rained just a few hours prior.
