Okay, now I'm curious (read "nosy").

Can you share any details?

I realize that curiosity caused the untimely demise of the feline mammal but now you got me wondering since you are close.

Not too much a bunch of rednecks can't do when we put our minds to it.

The closest HETT I know of is Ron's BART (modified 1070) in Gainsville, GA. That's prob a four or five hour drive in the HETT.

Thanks for the replies and interest. Only thing I can say at the moment is that I'm trying to work a deal to save a heavy vehicle that's stuck in a bunch of bramble and the heavy winches on the m1070 would really come in handy to help pull it out. The location is in the northeast, not Alabama. Would be an interesting and fun job if it all works out. Of course I would pay any expenses for the help. I'll be able to give more details if everything comes to fruition.

If it is just a big winch you are after, why not expand your search to guys with wreckers? The 45,000 pound drag winch on the back of the wreckers is made for this type of recovery. Of course, it helps to have two winches to "steer" the recovered vehicle, but there probably are more wrecker owners who live closer to you. Just a thought.
