That looks like what I'd do!

"Darn it, we sank the axles again, can you dig while I try to get it free?"
"Yeah, bend at the hips, not the knees!"

When you are at the bottom of a hole......quit digging.

Nothing gonna get that HETT out of that sand except a HEMMET wrecker or another HETT.

One of the reasons I hate the HETT system is that goatf**k of a trailer.....the skinny tires give little or no floatation. I think the M747 trailer was much better.

The supervisor of the DOT office learned from Japan they invented a shovel that would lean on itself !!

Let's evaluate this a bit, 762,465 ton truck in 15" of loose pack sand. I must be slipping cause I can't figure out why it didn't drive right through. Kinda surprised neither female looks likes she sweating a whole bunch.

Sorry, Soni - but I think the hottie in this pic of yours still wins the beauty contest, by far. :)

Mike,

No reason to be sorry....LOL.... I certainly agree with you! But then....I'm a little bias of course..... :roll:


Hey....I just noticed somthing in the pic....is that really a "FLOORMAT" sticking out from behind the front tire?!?
I thought that this type of "recovery method" only works with stuck Subaru Brats and similar "beach front" transportation......if you don't want to scratch up your surfboard that is of course..... Lol

A men Wrecker man those 215 r17.5 su?k in any condition and ha when you run 80 psi at pavement temp 170 + My unit ran 100 psi we had less tire blow out.
The other poopoo thing is on M1000 Trailer is like haveing 40 plow points
and down they go.
I rember when I had new HET operator in Kuwait we leave arifjan and take them up Iron Horse rd up buy Camp Udairi known as today Camp Buehring
I run thoes trainee to death PMCS change Tires air ups and grease they said it was the s//t but it was ther job. well all & all it is an ok system the brit
has something close but they run seven boggies per side and can haul 2 bradley end to end no problems and they run wide singles in the trailer and ran much better engine they could out run M1070 by far.
My avatar is my M1070 and M1000 HET system at check point 10 on tampa between LSA Diamond Back and Qwest Iraq in 0ct 2005 OIF III.
