I had a buddy who owned a diesel rabbit pick up truck.  This guy lived on a
farm and would use this truck to pull everything.  He used to hook it to
huge haywagon and give hayrides to around 30 people at a time.

The little truck took this for a couple of years before it exploded its
clutch.  When I took it apart there was only about a 2" diameter section of
it left mounted to the input shaft of the tranny.  The rest of it had
shattered and was laying in the bottom of the bell housing!!
