No longer stuck in ditch

[swiss]

Watching the video it seemed that it was a bit stuck. The other 5 ton had to work a bit but at the same time it did not have good traction to get her out. Not sure letting air down would have done it but now I know the first thing to do

 

[Coffey1]

It could be I flexed it or all the dang white stuff was making ground lol
And yes great job Andy .
And yes Adam I plan on no more ditches until GA rally then all bets are off .

 

[Coffey1]

Yes Swiss it was very much stuck the passenger side tire was buried 3/4 the way up the tire and she just refuse to clime out.
I could still go forward but was running out of somewhere to go until I hit tree or followed the the ditch into the woods then the river.

Do you guys have the G177 tires that usually come on all the 900 series with duals? how are they working out for you?

 

[Coffey1]

They work good had no problems in snow and ice went every where I wanted and some I didn't.
The ditch was totally my fault did not turn right and forgot red was high in middle.
As long as I keep all 6 on ground no stopping her.

 

[juanprado]

They ride real nice and I like their traction wet and off road. Great radials!

I like the G177's also, I have them on my M936, ride is nice.
The problem with the Military trucks is the front axle is way to heavy. LOL

Lots of trees visible. Cut a small log, angle it up out of ditch, stake down the road end. Front wheel will follow the log back to the road.

Great idea been planing to put chain saw on truck.
After mahala got her bumber hung up in tree and had to cut it down with pocket knife.

Glad to see you got out without breaking anything. I have "been there=done that".

Note to new owners: The depression does not have to be a "ditch" to suck you in. A downhill grade of twenty degrees in snow/mud will

sometimes act like a "BLACK HOLE" and suck everything into it, with sometimes surprising efficiency. As happened here, you can maybe

move forward or in reverse, but the truck will refuse to climb up out of the depression. Very frustrating

 

[Coffey1]

Even with Andy hooked to me that ditch did not want to let me leave.
Kept trying to suck me back in.

 

[RustyM923]

Where does a 5 ton park?

Anywhere it wants!

 

[Coffey1]

Now that's funny

 

[Scarecrow1]

We were glad to help and enjoyed the ride over. I know that you would have done the same for me if I had been in that situation. Situations like that are what makes this hobby fun. We need to plan on a get together at my house one Saturday in the Spring like Adam had.

 

[Coffey1]

I am so ready and yes Andy you need anything just ask
