Drivers arn't what they used to be

Wow IainW, now thats what I call stuck, makes my komatsu blunder look tame.

JUst seeing the pictures there Iain, that did look pretty bad from the start, just as well it wasnt a bigger machine in that same state. Great recovery pictures

Done a lot of rolling, cutting, etc and the best results I have had mechanically is from using a 'bracken roller'. Now all I need to find is if I have a copy of the photo's when it all went wrong!

I'm looking for a bracken roller at the moment, does anyone know who supplies them please (cheapness preferred!)?

Ah the fun of driving onto a moorland bog:lol:. There is a place above Sheffield that was bombed in WW2 and due to all the holes even the Birch trees start swaying when a single person walks along.

 

If you have never been stuck you have never been offroad.

[peterwelder]

buy any cheap roller and weld some angle iron to in and that makes a cracking bracken roller!

A friend of mine asked me to help him get his 3 month old Doosan out after getting into a spot of bother whilst forestry ditching. Had to travel 300 yards with a 7 tonner using bog mats then dig all around the machine. Pulled the injectors to blow the water out of the engine then rigged a dummy fuel tank (it's own one was full of water). Left quite a hole!

Back to base, quick run over with the pressure hose, handfull of relays replaced and the diesel tank flushed and she was as good as new. He has 600mm pads and a 6 tonne hydraulic winch fitted to the machine to help him through bad spots now. Very tricky job all the same.

 

Crazy

This was just a few weeks ago on a mild but greasy slope; 2 ton chipper didn't help. Jap crap rescues landy I'm not going to say whether it succeeded!

Oh dear, towing using the winch cable. Tut, tut!

[RobRainford]

couldnt you have driven out with good old mrs momentum and then winched the chipper out too? using a block to redirect and get it square up the hill?

 

Or did you just shout POWERRR and blast it up the track

Horse logging equipment

 

They do quite a lot of horse drawn stuff, not cheap though but a good site
