They probably used a canoe and lots of duct tape? Log and chains works much better.:laughing:

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!

They taught us the very same method to get tanks out of mud. LOL, the side comment was that you keep doing it till the tank is in all the way to the turret and than call the recovery tank:thumbsup:

Could have used it a month ago when I got stuck towing logs out of the hole out back...

Nutty Eastern Euros...

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.

Not sure. I have seen the wheel powered log splitter that is shaped like a cone also.

When I was a teenager with one of my dad's tractors stuck in a field up near the road, one of the neighboring farmers stopped by with some split firewood and chains. We strapped a piece of split wood crosswise across each rear tire like paddles. The tractor lifted up and took a step forward every time both the paddles hit the ground. He tought me a neat trick that has saved me some digging over the years. I still think of him whenever I get stuck.

Very creative!
I would always use 4wd and always have a rescue vehicle nearby.
The logs are creative, but the downside could be a bummer.

I've seen this done many times in the past before we had winches handy. My Dad showed me this trick when I was about 10y/o (several yrs ago) and most of the time it works well. Just be sure that you have a strong piece of timber. I once knew a fellow who wrapped the chain around the tire and the outcome wasn't so good--he broke an axle. The main thing is to be very very careful because that piece of timber is under a lot of strain!!! But it WILL work. Belah:thumbsup:
