Here's how our truck was looking midday on Friday the 13th....

An old concrete skin collapsed into open space so there was no way to tow the truck out. A mate turned up this morning with a 7t excavator and we lifted the front corner using a wire rope sling around the chassis rail while reversing the truck back onto solid ground.

Luckily no serious damage. phew
 
Man, so sorry to see that. I was scared stiff in a Red Oak today because I never climb them, and it was the 13th. :lol:
 
I bet we've all been there!

What did you hit, Butch?

Septic tank or something, because the ground around it looks solid enough.
 
.... My Tirfor and Crosby have never let me down. Never needed a wrecker , as long as I have an anchor and decent line angle I have Ten tons of say so. Getting wallered in , it DOES eventually happen to everyone.
