Good to see you got them both out OK. which reminds me, my lack of recovery points.
I got caught in similar goop on a track in the Pilbara a few years ago in my Series One, dropped down onto both diffs. All I had was a hand winch, a spare tyre that we had to bury a few times to winch from, myself and the apprentice. Trouble was it was January, 75% humidity and 38 deg.
We sure earnt our beer that day.
All the trouble was caused by Telstra that had layed some sort of cable. All would have been fine had we not just had a cyclone.

great pics Andy

saves sitting around at home doing nothing
what else could be better than retrieving your toys out of soft sloppy mud
on a Saturday morning/arvo

Good work chaps. It's not entirely clear though who was rescuing who

I can tell you using a highlift jack as a winch doesnt work when you are stuck like that,Im pretty strong and couldnt work the lever once the pressure was on,would need a cheater bar which would end up overloading the highlifts mechanism.

well you made a mess out of that one Ollie

Yep, the compressability of the soil impressed me too.

How long did it take Andy?

We took 6 hours to move a Mack B-double 26 metres, 2 weeks ago.


Shorty.
