10 ft in the air? Really? :rolleyes:
My rollback can pull itself in the air. It is pretty pointless to pull 10 feet in the air. After the front wheels lift up it isn't going to pull any harder to lift more and has the possibility of breaking the front axel. My Grandpas old army truck has two winches on the back with a total pull of 75,000 pounds. I'm sure it could pull itself off the ground.

CDN farmboy is absolutely right. From a physics standpoint the force is greatest right as the tires lift off the ground, not when the truck is highest

Yep, physically possible, as long as those wreckers are.

Halfway there at about 1 minute in this video.

So those are what, a foot and 4' off the ground? Far cry from 10'. Never said they can't lift but that saying one lifted 10' is either a fisherman talking or a very poor operator.

I used to be a deputy Sheriff, so I have been to a wreck or two, and I have seen wreckers at about a 45 degree angle. That is about all the drivers will do before they will let them back down before the J hook pulls out.

I've been a Volunteer Firefighter for 13 yrs and seen plenty of wrecks also. A foot or so is the most I've ever seen and any of the heavy tow operators around here I've spoken with all agree it's pointless to go any higher

Thanks guys, exactly my point. Higher lift on the front isn't representative of how badly something is stuck but of how poor the tow truck operator is.

We all know we have been there and it sucked at the time but throw out some of your worst stuck pics. This was our personal best which just happened to be yesterday
Marek - that is really bad. I took our skid steer "fishing" by getting too close to the pond, but yours was much worse. Looks like quicksand ??

As long as there have been tractors, there have been stuck tractors.

Hey now, it says "copyright reserved by original photographer". I hope you asked permission...

:laughing::laughing:

I don't think the original photographer is able to answer.

There is a video on YouTube of an old steamer smaller than the above ones dragging a duel wheel John deer around the field.
