I was in the Yorkshire Dales today and I

towed a taxi which had got stuck on a hill
pulled a focus out of a ditch

and the best one -

Pulled a council gritter complete with snowplough and half a load which had got one wheel stuck in a ditch going round a steep corner, and the rear slipping over, opposite wheel off the ground. we worked out that the overall vehicle weight was about 20 tonnes. Was a little nervous about trying this so went gingerly but blow me down not only did it work, it worked brilliantly. one of the truck guys said "you ll burn out your clutch in seconds" I said lets give it a try. Amazing. Sadly no pic but this is undoubtedly my best tow yet (in any vehicle)


Know exactly what you experienced!!....

Not today but on Friday I towed a Opel Astra out of a park where it was stuck in black sticky, slippery mud up to its chassis/floor pan..... was great fun and the first time I could use the Puma to rescue someone..... Very Happy
