This legitimately is my mindset every single time I pull someone out. x10 if it is with a chain.
Yep, that's why I have broken many a rope and chain. Back in the 1980s there were 3 large Versatile tractors daisy chained together and all stuck in a field/wetland south of Stanley. I was in my late teens and cringed at how they all got buried with a VERY taught nylon rope in-between them. Not sure how it all worked out in the end, but I wasn't going anywhere near it. My experiences came from much smaller tractors.You think this is sketchy, you should try pulling out a stuck tractor
Stuck scrapers, dozers, and excavators is most of what I’ve dealt with. I have yet to see a strap break, but I have seen a couple of chain links go through a window. The best option for us, in my opinion, was cable.You think this is sketchy, you should try pulling out a stuck tractor
Exactly what happened to friend of mine, except he got hit, almost didn't make it...yes he survived but got a fractured skull out of it.Had a friend where the ball snapped off and became a giant slingshot. Went right through the back window and out the front window with no slowing down. Missed his head by about 15 inches. His son was sitting in the middle and would have been smoked if he didn't get out while it was being pulled out.
