Hugh: your post reminds me of the time a guy got his 4x4 truck stuck in front of my brother's ranch in New Mexico. The guy was towing a tandem axle horse trailer with horses when he short-cut the road. The ground there is clay with sand blown over it, so it looks like dry sand. No problem, the guy's buddy had a front end loader down the road a ways. He got it, came back and hooked to the front axle of the truck. He yarded the axle right out from under the truck and yanked the hitch off of the back of the truck.
Another time, one of my friends was logging with a D9 Cat. A trucker hauling a large power transformer on a low-boy trailer, got stuck just down the road. The trucker asked my friend to pull him out. My friend drove the D9 down there with a large chunk of logging chain and looked over the situation. He advised the trucker to unhook the low-boy so my friend could pull out the truck first. Then he would pull out the trailer. The trucker told my friend that it was a brand new truck and that he wasn't going to hurt it by pulling it out with the trailer. So my friend hooked the chain to the frame rails and pulled the frame rails off of the drivers and out from under the fifth-wheel.
