How in the world will they get that pulled out? I think the excavator would be the only thing that could get that beast out of there. I've had 4x4 tractors stuck before but not any that weighed 50,000 lbs and never that deep.
Well the first thing to do is unhook that FC behind him. If the driver would have quit 5 mins earlier and unhooked, he likely could have gotten himself out if he had a chain on board.
The hopeful thing is that one set of duals is almost on top of the ground. I would dare bet a tractor of equal size might be able to pull this one out with unhooking of course, and the right combinaton of pulling angle, diff lock, and "wiggling" The X factor is whether you can get a long enough chain to get the other tractor on semi-solid footing. And I wouldn't fool around with 3/8" chain. 1/2" Grade 7 at minimum. |
