Yes that is a good one.

My Dad and I used a similar method with a D31A Komatsu dozer years back. The cat was stuck good in the muskeg so we chained a 10" log to both tracks at the front idlers and walked right out.

We were quite happy because when you have a tracked machine mired down like it was....Well it ain't pretty!

I knew a guy who keep a extra wheel, no tire, in his truck He had weld on a length of chain and could use it like a winch. Say you are stuck, one wheel off front or rear, mount this spare wheel, now hook the chain to a tree ect, put truck in low gear, and allow it to spool up.

Said he got the idea from a episode of Macgyver.

What did the Fellow do to keep the other wheel from spinning?

Jacking up a rear tire and using it to power pipe cutters and threaders was a common practice at one time in some places.:D
