As requested here you go:Aw....Just thrown Soldier B under the front wheels and back 'er out!
Or, you can rig for fording and just drive through.
Please post pics of your recovery efforts.
Next time I'm about an hour and a half away. I can come pull the little guy out of the holeAs requested here you go:
Tow truck operator had to two part two lines to the back of Truck. We still ended up dragging him backwards about a foot and a half before he could dig in enough to get me sucked out of the ditch.
God really does love me!
Grand total for the tow bill was $125 out of pocket.

had another tree dive across my dead end street, large oak that died last year after the city sprayed the canal behind my house, base is a full 5' across. mom screwed up the video and this is all i could salvage, ground was about as grippy as you could hope for, locker in the front diff was somewhat unhappy dealing with full steering lock and full throttle 1st low as it was popping as it was unlocking and locking when i would back off and punch it again,

That is excellent advice. While watching the second video caught myself saying the same thing out loud hoping I would be heard. LOLWinfred, cool!
When dragging trees and junk, it helps to back up close, hook the chain to the dragged object as low and tight as possible, and as high as possible on the tow vehicle. Decreases friction on the dragged and increases for the dragger.
Also might I say that is a GREAT looking rig!had another tree dive across my dead end street, large oak that died last year after the city sprayed the canal behind my house, base is a full 5' across. mom screwed up the video and this is all i could salvage, ground was about as grippy as you could hope for, locker in the front diff was somewhat unhappy dealing with full steering lock and full throttle 1st low as it was popping as it was unlocking and locking when i would back off and punch it again,

And I thought I was the only one. Changed out the compressor pully, and doing a coolant change.Replaced the compressor pulley outer flange with a NOS one from TNJ Murray, along with a couple of new grade 8 bolts. Old one was cracked at one of the cinch points. During the replacement, used the new compressor pulley wrench set that I finally broke down and bought. Made a conduit pipe extension for use with the set... have to admit, it's much nicer than using a big-a$$ pipe wrench and a pair of channel-locks.

What did I did I to to my truck this week? I started it, and used it as a 13,500 pound rolling air compressor to fill the flat tires on the lawn tractor. I know that's not much of a task for an M35, but it beat dragging a hundred feet of hose out of the garage to do the same task.
