    As a heavy plant fitter, don't hate me... but get bigger kit if you want to play with the big boys. I appreciate your work in Stafford though as people can't drive... (I have a 4x4 and a hgv license) a 32t double drive with a big winch would of made light work of that job.. but it is operator error on this one boom far too high and not quick enough with the slew

    @ricksNZ Před 3 měsíci

    Thanks Greg. My first thought was the Merc was well outmatched but its hard to see all the angles from my armchair 🙂
    Nice use of local resources for tethering the Merc and stopping it from sliding towards the JCB. I recall another channel recovery guy saying 'small moves' and you definitely did a few of those here to wiggle this one free. Well done Mr GDB.

  • @AnthonyValentine-vm1yc
    @AnthonyValentine-vm1yc Před 3 měsíci +2

  • @juliogonzo2718
    @juliogonzo2718 Před 2 měsíci

    I never seen anyone use a snatch on a sling off their truck before. That setup with two snatch blocks was pretty cool. I've winched lots of heavy stuff but usually single lined it or doubled with one snatch block. That was with a 40t wrecker though, it's more of a challenge with a lighter wrecker/winch with less mass to anchor the wrecker. Even with a bigger wrecker you'd just sink trying to drive in there so a smaller truck was ideal for this one. Good job!
