Tamber Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 That didn't go wrong in the way I expected it to. I was expecting him to rip the back end out of whatever it was he was recovering, or something similar, not that! :wow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulob1 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 that's very interesting, shows they are not as tough as you think...and perhaps the torque of the diesel engine is too much for the axles which were designed for a petrol engine...

rustexpert Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 The log skidder that is being recovered is not far short of a tank chassis with a soft skin superstructure and is very heavy and the fact that it is stuck means it is stuck fast and must I suppose be dead or it could self recover by winching it self out. The track the truck is pulling on is very good grippy hard surface and the angle of the pull on the short chain might have been intended to add a bit of down force , it could quite easily be predicted to overload the front axle; was not a surprise that something was going to give. It might have been a better option to pull from the rear of the truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
