Was towing a tandem trailer with a crate loaded with rams, tried to charge across a mud deposit in the low lands and hit a huge piece of drift wood buried in it. Blew a tyre on the trailer and puled the 120 sideways into deeper mud I unhooked the trailer and tried to drive out but slid further in. So bugger it I then tried to charge through but is now on the diffs and pushing a bow wave of heavy mud I have tried forward back but cant quite make it out.
The recovery will be interesting If I take any thing else down there it will sink to china

I have to get it out as were expecting the creeks to flood again tomorow

HELP!

...... Winch?? ........

Ended up using a 150HP FWA tractor and a heap of chain and cable Pulled it all out backwards. Then drove the 120 through with out the trailer. Backed up and snatched the trailer.

Funny thing was my neighbor could hear me trying to drive it out. Could see the puffs of smoke and hear the turbo over run wile going forward and back.

No pics of the recovery sorry Was on my own.

Its bogged! All crossed up




We made it this time


All back together and finished the job.
