My post only had to do with 4u2c's illusions of grandeur. | I'll wait until dili jumps in with a sniper shot before I provide you with a formal response.

Also be sure you feel it when you touch the dolly because if you don't you can "trap" your dolly between the lead and the pup resulting in the extra walk back to the tractor.
