Anybody see Bondi Rescue last nite????
A falcon wagon was bogged next to the toilets,first lifegaurd hooks his "MULE" up to the towball,couldnt budge it.They hooked a second "MULE" to the rear diff.
Bothe Mules pulled as hard as they could whilst bystanders bounced the car,jamed planks under the rear wheels(smoke billowing from the tyres),eventually it shot out of the sand.
Madness.Too many bystanders around/behind the vehicle and the towball recovery,one clown was behind the car trying to jam the plank and lever the spinning wheel.:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

I take it when you say a Mule it isn't a donkey horse?

People around is a no no but in this case towing off a towball is not an issue - it was a tow not a snatch recovery - massively different loads involved.
Technically no different to just towing a 2 tonne trailer through boggy ground.
Snatching - well thems different rules.
