You better believe it!
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
The first time? It just took a gentle tug from one M923 on 53's... we won't talk about the 2nd time....Haven't stuck mine yet. Did go thru 6 feet of water last year and successfully rescued 2 dogs for a neighbor.
I wish everyone in this thread would PM 98G and ask him how many M923 it takes to recover a 19k lb. Deere 455G crawler loader from a mudhole. And be sure to ask how many times he got stuck. However we did determine that it is darn near impossible to break HEMTT wrecker chains........
Nobody - the us gov doesn't release armor....I talked to this guy who was an MV driver in the sandbox about this one time. He tells me there's the pecking order, of course, you go and get the heavier thing and pull the stuck thing out. I asked him where all that lead and he said well the thing to own was a Hercules. It just comes in and lifts the stuck MV straight up. I have no idea how they break the suction.
Anyways I asked him what happens if you get a Hercules stuck and he gave me this soulful look and he leans in as if sharing a secret and goes "you must never ever ever get the Hercules stuck".
So who on the site has a Hercules?
This'll give you an idea of what's involved, lol.Anyways I asked him what happens if you get a Hercules stuck and he gave me this soulful look and he leans in as if sharing a secret and goes "you must never ever ever get the Hercules stuck".
Thank you Suprman. So on my M925A2, in standard hi gear w/out the front engaged, is the truck driving with both rear axles or just one? I was under the impression that to get to 6x6, the only way possible is with the truck in low gear which is full 6x6. 4x4 (two driving axles) is accomplished in hi gear with the fronts engaged. I thought I read this in the manual.Some marine corps trucks came with rear lockers. I don't believe any of them were a2 trucks. You have one legs all around. Unless you engage the front axle via dash switch or put the tcase in low range the front axle is free. It won't sof engage with rear slip.
Varies by state.Interesting to note. With larger tires, though, I wonder about street legality...thoughts?
