your   Horse  anallogy    is very  similar  to  what I was doing yesterday.

Dad and  I  were  picking corn  back a  long  mud lane-- lots of slick mud and  mud holes..     we would load the  wagon  to about  450-500 bu.  then  drive it out  and  use  the auger cart to   finish filling it on the  gravel  1/2mile up the road....

some friends came to help us  and  they  LOADED  the wagon  650bu  in the field --  makeing the wagon really top heavy--   as I took it out I  explained  how   you get wagons out of  slime... ( these friends had never used wagons before but had  NICE trucks on their farm lol)    

I used almost the same comments you used  about  the  fiscal situation

You  get  as many horses on the front as you can  and  pull--- but you do have to pull slowly  but steadily---   wagons that big tend to slide side to side as much as go forward  -- and you know from the semi that if you are going fast  and  the back slides  your  jack-knifed---  slowly and you can get the thing to  keep moving forward  <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->    MOSTLY!  lol.
