Pulling Power
Popped out on to site this afternoon to do some work (happens occasionally) Laughing
One of the delivery wagons had got stuck in the mud, a 9 tonne dumper was trying to pull it out, ad was just spinning all 4 wheels, and going nowhere, I offered to help and got laughed at. Big Cry

I insisted that I give it a go, nice heavy strop on the tow bar and low range selected. Pulled the dumper and the wagon out of the mud and up the hill,

Now who's laughing Mr. Green Twisted Evil

I reckon if the dumper had loaded up some ballast, he'd have had the grip to pull the artic.
