Well i thought you guys might enjoy this, i wish i had a video but it was after dark. anyway, here in southern California there have been heavy rains lately, and there are more coming.. there will be flooding problems.
so at work today one of the guys got the skip loader stuck while making a flood channel, the whole area was very sloppy mud, he had the tires dug in pretty good and it was high centered on a rock. well there wasn't anything else around to pull it out so i got my explorer (stock except for 31" all terrains).. thought it'd be a pretty fun challenge at least.
We hooked up a chain to the loader and the Hitch receiver on the explorer and i gave it a little tug, of course nothing happend.. so i backed up and repositioned next to the loader (about 15 feet to the side of it) and floored it.. this way the chain wouldn't become tight all at once (it would start by pulling the explorer sideways as the explorers inertia dumps into the chain in the matter of a few feet) anyway i floored it, about 20 feet and the chain got tight, whipped the explorer around like a yoyo on a string, mud flying everywhere.. pretty awesome... and best of all, actually pulled the tractor out!! i couldn't believe it..
so yeah, today i pulled a huge diesel loader out of the mud with a nearly stock explorer, it was pretty fun
