Located in South Central AL, 15 mi below Tuskegee.
Thanks for the input......... It's interesting (especially to my wife) that I got this truck and hope I NEVER have to use it for it's primary job. Major hastle to get our of bogs - not to mention cost in time. Usually, it's a distance thing with the recovery issue. Not close enough to a tree. I've had to use a 650 JD to pull against on a couple of occasions. The ground here can LOOK dry and you can even drive over it ONCE with no problem - the second pass and ........ sunk to the frame. Tractor has 10 ton winch on rear so combination of tractor winch + 818 winch + tree is what I have in mind to extend the reach.
