    Thanks guys...
    I'll bring and show you guys when we got a chance to meet again ya?  Wink

    Hope someone would volunteer to bring either a crane truck or tow truck so that we could do some tow-test.  Grin

    By the way, I have to thank my wife for lending me her combined harvester for the video shoot.
    PS: I always wished to cannibalize parts from her combined harvester for MOC, which I dare not until today.
    Shhh...don't tell her ya!!!  Embarrassed

    Considering the comment from Tuan on the difficulty of changing my previous moc bus's battery, the tow truck's battery boxes are made as plug-in design.
