    What helps you out quite a bit is your temperament, you hit it off with the customer, you listen, then you plan your strategy.
    The mark of an intelligent operator. Well done Ron.

    An old trick my father showed me back in 1965 chain a 14' pole about 8" in diameter across the tracks and back right out. The pole will break the sucksion. Keep adding poles ae needed. I used the pole trick in the milatary on a stuck D6 in 1974. Works.

    Sometimes when we get in where we need a little extra traction with lift axle down we slide our boom back as far as it goes I've even extended boom out. I love you videos you have talent sir. We do mostly farm equipment recovery here in NY it takes patients and some ingenuity to get in and out of some of the places farmers go and usually alot of soft ground.
