No frodo could have shown you how to make a good anchor point for the front winch......if it was operational :shock:

I'd certainly be investigating why the shear pin didn't protect the front winch. That flaw in a 2 dollar item cost you big bucks.

I seem to remember a post as of late that a fella said you can't stick a five ton. Well...... Also I don't think that Cat has 9 lives! Glad you are out and no one was hurt. I got in a little pickle last week end. had the truck on a 30 degree angle stuck in the creek flats and backed into a tree stump. 20 degrees out and run out of fuel, as it all ran to the back of the tank UUUGH. got it out with only a broken tail light.[thumbzup]

I can't believe you got that beast stuck. I know it can happen...
Finally got (most) of the computer problems sorted out, and a little time off from work these days to get back on-line once in a while now.
Happy cleaning!!
