Let me get a couple buckets of hydraulic fluid first, I got an idea.

Eh just see last months details on my rig.

We get about 13 inches a rain here, so not going to be that much snow. Though I hope you got some thick skin, was -32°F which is pretty close to -40°F or C though windchill sure surpassed that to -45°F

Depends on where you step, average a foot deep in most areas and up to 2ft deep in the shade.

If we are going to put a rig on the calendar on the month they won, best if it represents the time of the year it won. Seriously seeing a rig on the beach in January. Here is something more realistic for February when one thinks of February.

:unsure:

This is how it’s done…

The story behind the blocks on the back of the rig in my campaign picture is not for traction. There is 6 back there at 3300 lbs at piece @ 19,800 lbs on the back. That truck hauled 73 back here weighing in around 240,900 lbs worth of concrete in a month time frame, pick up 6 drive home from...

Another rescue I did with mine. This is why most semis won't make it up here, add in a foot of snow you already crippled a semi, add in grades that most roads don't have and we are having problems. Articulating axles here or you are going to snap differentials and drive line components.

Story goes I went to an auction in Nebraska 1k miles away in the middle of nowhere held in a corn field to look at the rig before bidding. Went through the usual inspection found that injection pump shut off was sticking and not allowing it to return when ignition is turned on without reaching...

:deadhorse:

When I show up insurance rates start going up. ;)

I would of been having to roll it back over if it went on over the side and still would easily get it. If you look at one of my pictures there is my tracked loader that weighs almost 60k lbs to easily retrieve it.

That is from trying to rescue someone who used to live out here who thought trying to get up the ridge in a truck with 2WD and no reverse on ice. I stopped the truck in time as I felt it sliding, but went to retrieve it with the excavator and the strap broke sending it sliding on down even with...
