I'll look into that.They do have truck and tractor pulls over there by you Ke5eua. I believe they are in Clinton. I went to them once a few years back.
You are the wiser one. To not risk damage. I felt a little better knowing there were two tow bars at the ready.
If the wrecker/wreckers were just dead weight, not pulling against the other truck, I do not see anymore damage or broken parts then pulling against a slesdNot to be a negative nancy, but I can see a "home made" competition going south pretty quick. Either something will get broken, someone get hurt, or property damaged. Probably just not a good place for it there.
It would be interesting though if a sled could be brought in and some track setup for it near the campground to do it right.
Problem with just rolling weight is it is very easy to pull. I pulled my 818 with my 4 wheeler couple weeks ago when my batteries died.If the wrecker/wreckers were just dead weight, not pulling against the other truck, I do not see anymore damage or broken parts then pulling against a slesd
Putting a lot of undo stress on the parking brake(s) imho.NOT rolling but A DEAD NOT MOVING WEIGHT, dragging the tires, anybody can move a rolling weight, even a rail car by hand on a flat track.
Now a bulldozer would be perfect, shut it down and let the tracks lock and that is one heck of a dead weight, and it can be driven back.Use Durhamtown's bulldozer......sideways.
Problem solved.

I like the idea of a concrete block, just have to get it back to the starting point somehow.
Depending on the model of the wrecker is why I said brake(s), 939 series would have the spring parking brakes on the rear axles and the wee little axle brake. I never understood why they put a single drum brake and expect it to last in the hands of a private.NOT the parking brake (lmao) but the service brakes and in gear
It would be easier to pull a static dozer from the side than from the front. Think of the cleats on the dozer tracks. From the side, they are facing the direction you would be pulling, thus there would be less resistance. from front or rear, the cleats are perpendicular to the direction of travel. Far more gripping power. Dozers and track loaders/hoes fall are far more likely to slide on the trailer from side to side than front to rear.Use Durhamtown's bulldozer......sideways.
Problem solved.
That's impressive, just need one of those for the ga rally and wouldn't have any issues with anything, lolAnd what would you use to drag a tank backwards???? A Case quad trax tractor is just the thing.
