Orgasmic Farmer Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Ok not technically fully stuck as they were winching out but would have been without the winch. DSC03229 web.jpg Then turning round and spotting the marshal that had miss judged the mud just a bit!. DSC03261 web.jpg We still went on to win that event! Was one hell of a deep bog though..... Here is a video I found tonight of proper stuck and some extreme winching. I really want that little digger with the magic bucket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill van snorkle Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Shame we can't see what was pulling it,.......... it did shift Was it a electric or hydraulic winch? Sorry in advance......... IIRC it was a Komatsu Dozer that pulled it out with traction not the winch. Tank was remarkably well preserved seeing it lay in that swamp for 60 years or so.

Tank was remarkably well preserved seeing it lay in that swamp for 60 years or so.there are quite a few videos of WW2 tanks being recovered, mostly they use dozers and multiple leg snatch blocks using the traction of the dozer combined with gearing from the pulleys and cables to pull them out.

Its on par with finding downed aircraft melted out of ice or found in the desert after 40 yrs of been covered in sand, awesome stuff.

elbekko Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Quite rediculous... the forces involved to pull that out would have been crazy. Some seriously soft ground.

n.r.g97 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Not really a stuck, as I put the rear difflock in and reversed out. In between sections at the Buildwas national finals, found that the hole was a bit deeper than originally thought.. lesson learned- all ways wear a harness.

Bowie69 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Unless you roll it right over and you are then stuck upside down with your head under water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n.r.g97 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hence I stopped as soon as I realised it was steeper than first thought, put harness on and reversed out. It was a lesson learned to all ways wear the harness and not to drive into water without checking first, at least not at a stupid angle like above.
