8 or 10 of the single axle tow dollys went through GL a couple weeks back in GA. But......I like the way the towing company had this one set up.....I know it would hold a lot more weight, but I am sure it would cost a LOT of $$$ just for the 2 axles, hitch, & frame! But....yes.....I do have...

UPDATE: It is OUT!!!!!!!!!!! :mrgreen: I had the commercial wrecker service (that gets the cranes out of the mud) come out with their homemade tow dolly, which was basically the rear half of a wrecked tractor w/a pintle hitch. They unhooked it & I hooked it to my John Deere tractor & backed...

I am going to lift the trailer up approx 11" with two 20ton air/hydraulic bottle jacks & then back a modified M332 trailer under the front, lower the M872 onto the M332, chain binder them together & then pull the M332 towards my driveway & it will rotate the M872 with it. After the front of the...

Here are the pics of the NEW ruts & my "concrete road" leading up to the trailer over the reeeeeally soft ground. It held up a 25,000lb backhoe....so it should hold a 20,000lb m818 w/no problems! Also.....it barely rained the last two days & tomorrow is going to be 50 & sunny.....so...

If it was dry I would think that might work, but with the extremely soft ground & the weight of the trailer, it would push the skis right into the ground. (Right now it has pushed railroad ties 5-6" into the ground from just sitting on them. I just got of the phone w/the crane...

I have already made a trade with someone for that dual wheeled M200A1.....so I dont want to bend/break/screw it up. The M332 definitely has room for duals, since there is nothing above the tires (no fenders or anything). My main concern would be the tongue weight pressing down on the 332. I...

After reading this I think I will try one last thing before getting the crane..... What do you think about this: Take my M332 ammo trailer & take the lugs off, switch to budcaps & put duals on the 332? Then back it under the front of the 872, lower the 872 onto it, chain it up, and rotate the...

UPDATE: Today I had two different big truck/offroad recovery wrecker services come check it out & see if they could get the trailer out. BOTH told me "no way....if you got your army trucks stuck getting near it, there is no way we would even get that close". Then, my buddy came over & my...

I broke the shear pin after I had already winched myself out. What happened was, I had 10-15 ft of cable still laying on the ground, so I wrapped it around the bumper so I could turn around & then unspool it again & winch the 818 out. I got in the truck, put the winch in neutral & pulled...

It has been sitting there since October. The entire field stays dry 10 1/2 months per year, but from last week until the end of May, it turns into a sloppy mess. You would think that I would have moved it a month ago..... ;)

I almost did.....but I had my neighbor help me get the 813 out & then my brother & my buddy came over to help w/the 818. If I didnt have someone in each truck, there is NO way I would have gotten out. NDTs SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! They dig a hole & then turn into racing slicks. They are good on...

Well......today is by far one of the most disappointing days for army trucks that I can remember. It was bad enough when I got stuck in the woods behind my house, but today....I got stuck in my front yard, TWICE, with a M818 & M813! It took me all day to get out. This morning I went down in...
