We had to dig down to get to the draw bar and used a big clevis to hook the tail chain to it . First thought was just hook to the plow beam and i figured that was not such a great idea . I had help as two of my friends were there . Had this happened today i could have posted pictures of it . Most times when ya get hug up it is a momentary delay , not that time i was STUCK and it would have fit in in stuck and troubled . My one friend has worked with me in the oil patch and has seen some of the stuff i have done with a Dozer and winching things out . Back then i did a lot of work with Berdett drilling and they had this huge Idco rig that weighed in at around 220000 lbs , the rig dozer was a D7 G with a 70000 lb Hyster winch on the back i was running a 750 Deere with a 60000Lb Hyster winch . One time they got that rig STUCK going into a location and Ottos there cat skinner twisted the drive shaft to the winch on the 7 trying to get the rig out . Walley the head tool pusher called me and want me to come out as try and move that monster . I went and i went prepared with four fifty ton snatch blocks we did a four part line hook to the rig and did the plant the blade and spin in the tracks in good hard dirt and sucked the rig out and winched it the last 1200 plus feet back to the pad fifty or sixty feet at a time . Half the county engineer dept watched me winch out a semi with 1/4th of the bridge span that weighed in at over 140000 lbs with the county's 350 Case dozer when it got stuck trying to back down into the creek by the farm . Here again a four part line and sucked that truck up and out , not fast but it did the job . They could not believe that it could be done .
