Pulling Out Offroad Dump Truck with Excavator I thought I had this ol' girl figured out, but it got away from me again. I'm not really stuck here, but due to bald tires and wet clay, I couldn't get traction to get out. The old tow strap paid for itself today in being able to quick and easy just snatch the truck out of this little bind I had it in. Actually got the truck stuck again about 5 minutes after I got it out this time. I was trying to find somewhere solid and out of the way to put it. Guess that was asking too much so finally I just shut it down right where it was once I fished it out. Got some ruts to fill back in with excavator now.
