    Working in the dark, wind and rain makes any job challenging. Great work and thought process was as ever, spot on......

    Thanks Greg.
    Pretty impressive how you rolled with the punches with multiple re-rigging to the front end plus tethering of the Land Rover and adding safety lines in case something let go.
    All done while working soaking wet. Hope you heard me cheering when Transit came free.
    Looks like I have missed a few of your recent videos - need to binge watch and get you back up the CZcams popularity list.

    Hi Greg, just wanted to say thank you for helping me with the Deer collision in December just gone. Absolutely top-notch service; extremely quick and proffesional. (Quite glad it didn't appear here as it wasn't a pleasant experience)👍👍

    Like you said greg, I don't know what I'd have done on scene myself, but watching it I'd have defo gone for the redirect from landy to the casualty then snatch to the tree and back to the casualty again purely because that tree looked dodgy as fuck. And mega job securing it incase of winch failure, too many would have had an ego about it and not wanted to 'mess about'. I couldn't tell how steep it was until you put the jack down and it rolled away from you, had a good laugh when I saw that going off! Excellent professional job as always mate!

    That one would have pulled straight out with a good tug from a tractor, might have bent something but doubt it.

    Hi what difference would it make if when the disco was being pulled forwards could you have reversed it back whilst using the winch? 🤷🏻‍♂️

    @xxDADDYDAYCARExx Před 28 dny

    Firstly...... WELL DONE
    Secondly...... YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN IN THAT VAN.
    Your life and the well being of your family is ABSOLUTELY more important that some crappy van.
    Maybe me as a wiser 55 yr old father of 3 would go in that van if one of my children was inside but other than that...... NOPE
    Best wishes, love the channel but ....
    DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN
    🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

  • @MrAj963
    @MrAj963 Před 7 měsíci +4

    Too be honest here, I would recommend a vehicle that out weighs the vehicle thats being recovered for the least convenience of other road users after having to block the live lanes. A land rover is not always the perfect weight ..... loma :D

    • @jonathanperfitt9649
      @jonathanperfitt9649 Před 7 měsíci

      The discovery easily out weighs the Ford transit

    • @JohnJohn-ij5rj
      @JohnJohn-ij5rj Před 7 měsíci +2

      Got to factor the van could be loaded and loads of resistance being beached won't help

    • @rmo668
      @rmo668 Před 7 měsíci

      His transit spec truck would likely struggle with this and all his other trucks are over 7.5t, which are not ideal for those narrow lanes. Greg picked the best vehicle for this imo and it coped very well. I'd guess it weighs about 2800KG with all the gear. Heavier than it looks for sure.
