You gotta keep in mind that pulling that much weight on wheels is a whole lot different that pulling that much weight being a log or a sled on the ground. That's a lot of friction to deal with. Most every one I know can push a vehicle out of the road when it quits.

i agree it is different. they still got to be some stout mofos to pull that much. I figure if they could pull that they can pull a little ole hog out of the woods if you trained them for it. |

I think that Toyota commercial is crazy. They say they "towed" the space shuttle but they only pulled it. There was no weight on the trailer hitch. I bet they could get a man to pull the space shuttle with his teeth. Put wheels on something and have it on a flat smooth ground that is easy. I have pushed my truck but I am not saying I can push 4,000 lbs or how ever much it weighs. Now when I get my engine out and put it on plywood if I can drag that to the backyard I will say I can pull 1000 lbs. It is all about the friction. Put that 7,000 lbs on a board and have the dog drag it through the grass even wet grass and then you can say he can pull 7,000 lbs. With wheels you just keep a steady pull and it will roll on flat ground.

They make a plastic liner that u can use in dump trailers that haul dirt called slick plate. It is a Teflon plastic I believe. If a man could mold some of that into a sled of sort they could pull hogs out with a fair amount of ease. By time u walk out get sled walk back get dog hooked up walk dog and pig out u coulda done been on another hog and be in the process of getting it out. Another option is do like me and only be able to kill piglets. They fit in your pocket.

We generally tie up hogs mark the spot and continue hunting. When hunt is over go back and get hogs out of woods. I realize the dog or dogs would need some kind of help. This could be done will I ever do it most likely not. Just happened to think about this oneday while I was in the middle of pulling about 6 live hogs out of a briar cat thicket.

Modified two wheel cart, works every time no matter how big the pig live or dead. 250 pound pig feels about the same as walking backwards with a push mower. Super sandy ground or up and down hills is a little tougher, but not much at all. My dogs would look at me about the same as they do when we cross a field of nothing but stickers, that "your kidding me right" look, if I tried to get them to drag one after finding it. Lol
