Why not:
&feature=related You don't even need a driver. I rather would not use a chain. I prefer something with some stretch. As in the video.

I always end up having to drag ours. This was just before xmas and is the worse of our two big ones. It's 28t empty and because to the 800 Fassi on the back of the trailer there is little wieght over the drive axel.
It doesn't help that my driver likes to make a drama out of eveything Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated |

I pulled a tractor unit out from under a trailer in our yard with a chain.. Low Range & Diff Lock enabled.
Remember, you're not pulling the full weight of the TRUCK, or should I say it's not a dead weight as presumably the artic driver had 4th gear engaged also and the TRUCK will be sliding around on the ICE.. Nice work though, my boss never even thanked me for my efforts. Without it our yard would have been closed all day..

Driver's tummy I should imagine. Perhaps also quite a few murdered prostitues stuffed into the cab.
