    Have been recovering various wheeled and tracked casualities using many types of vehicles over last 40 years starting with Marshall 12/20, Unipower Hanibal,, Fordson Majors, Militant MK 1 and 3,Foden EKA, Scammell EKA, Pioneer, Highwayman,and even the chaindrive and never had any problems. We have been taught from an early age how to recover many types of vehicle,and tree removal which can cause major stresses on the winch tractor and rope. If in doubt add a snatch block or three. Experience and family knowledge. The Freer Family.

    I have spoken to DVLA today and if I build a ballast body on flat rack and "use as ballast tractor" all ok. if no legal specification on what you can use as ballast perhaps I will put Bens lunch box on the back:nut: Will use scammell chain drive as Escort vehicle. :laugh: Waiting for confirmation by post. I have all relevent HGV licences and so no need to panick on what I can drive legally.
