So…everyone’s saying I need to get a Chevy because they would come right out, wouldn’t even be stuck…umm go ahead and subscribe because we are going to test that😎
I drive a concrete mixer in PA. Had some rain overnight & had to have another truck come pull me out of someone's yard, a tow strap & it pulled about 40,000 lbs out since wasn't even empty yet.
Hard telling. I was working with what I had didn’t feel like dragging a chain down there and also rather have a strap break and hit it as hung as it was being solo hard to get the tire spinning over the ledge it was on. 3300 lb work strength got er done
I’ve got a regular axle 1 ton f350 with a set of mud tores on it as you’d say and I’d bet 1,000$ it would have drove out. Might get a better set of tires. Could be the simple fact that it’s a dually. I’ve always done bette with a skinny mud tire rather than wides
Duallys are inherently disadvantaged in mud. And the psi on the rears is none due to all the weight being spread out so they have half the bite of a srw truck but the clay is so slick when it rains it’s hard to get anything to grab
Own the truck don’t let the truck own you is what I always say lol. Didn’t really mean for it to go that far down but also don’t hesitate to use my truck at any point, it’s worked daily don’t let the big wheels and shiny paint fool you If ya want to see some real abuse look up hot tub durability test on my channel, watch to the end for a couple shop party snapchats of the experiment as well😂😂
Single Axle Wouldn’t Have Got Stuck. Fact. The Dually’s Don’t Do As Well In Snow Or Mud Because The Snow & Mud Or Whatever Packs In Between The Duals & The Lift You Get Doesn’t Give The Traction To Get Free. Single Axle 1 Ton Rules In These Situations. However Towing Is The Dually’s Best For Towing The Heavier Loads. Sweet Truck. Love It!
You're absolutely correct I drive a tractor trailer. I remember 10 years ago I had a brand new f-450 he was clown in the parking lot got stuck right away. And I was sitting there with my Yukon and I pulled him out. Dual wheels suck snowball
They usually do just fine for a tug. I prefer snapping straps like that over chains when towing vehicles like this, no metal going airborn if/when something goes wrong. No idea where my proper tow strap is lol
The strap is what broke, and canvas straps won't recoil and take out radiators, windshields - and people - like chains and steel cables can possibly do.
@@Stupidasoh Kinetic ropes are cool. I need to get me one. Or just stop getting my stuff stuck lol. But don’t think they don’t ever break- they do- and if they bring a mounting point with them when that happens it can be launching steel at a deadly speed.
We've all been there. You get the feeling things are going to get worse and they. Those are bad days that started out innocent enough. Battles we don't win easily 😂
@@ThomasDTY Absolutely. It's what builds character within. I always say I gotta do something stupid once in a while, makes the good times that much more enjoyable 🙂
@@ThomasDTYyou are correct. It doesn’t matter what truck you have it’s getting stuck. Diesel trucks get stuck faster though. To much weight on the front tires. Mud tires just mean the holes are dipper!
@@randysmith8604 that’s part of why all my trucks are on wide tires. Keeps from rutting things up and getting stuck as easy, also get more miles out of tires when towing believe it or not
Fords don’t have locking rears on duallys because you’d break it or run into a ditch if forgotten locked on pavement. But the whole Chevy/gm thing…we may do some testing soon🤔
Thanks! There’s definitely drawbacks to dailying one (I have to have it for working) but they sure are some lookers especially once you get some wheels on it
Oh I know. Watch the explanation part I pulled in to look at the water level on the pond after rains started sliding a little and didn't want to call on it to get mud all over my truck so I tried to reposition and just kept making it worse lmao. Was trying to get to flat to get a run up at the hill and get back out knew I had the dozer there I was getting muddy anyways to tow it out may as well get it to where it won't move
I like to look professional when I show up to a jobsite and not drip mud all over the customers driveway, also don’t want to track mud onto my gravel and track it around everywhere
First thing is you should have bought a ram second get rid of the street tires if you’re going to be off road and warn makes a winch to take care of that problem. I see a lot of yankem going on.
Nah I’d rather not have to replace my trans afterwards haha. On nitto ridge grapplers clay is just terrible and they’re fairly worn lol. Definitely ain’t on streets this trucks set up to go a lot of places it probably shouldn’t for the forestry mulching work I do. I did look into a winch setup but they’re so expensive and block cooling for what I do I’m not sure it would pay off vs just not getting the truck stuck lol, pretty much always equipment around me anyway.
@@lbtt295 you overthink things lol. Must be an engineer. Interesting bit of info though, I appreciate the comment. They usually list “3333 lb break strength” I thought it was rated at 33% of break strength similar to a chain binder
@thomasdigs I used to drive big rig wrecker, pulling a cement mixers or 80lb tanker buried to the frame isn't a yankum out thing. Big rigs only have 11k to 15k lb wwl wire ropes, so a ball park estimate on wire rope, snatch blocks and all rigging just to be sure nothing snaps, otherwise as soon as something breaks the tow truck flips over, new rotator right now 700k + 50 ton wrecker used 450k 35 ton 400k When someone gives you the privilege to operate equipment like this I just wanted to make sure I didn't screw up
@thomasdigs the rule is lines to the load, I line takes the full weight, im thinking if you could have ran that cat closer and double the strap to tbe truck,then each strat is pulling half the full load . Broken straps are pretty much harmless but broken chains can be deadly , that's why it is scary when people use non rated chain from home depot, and most shows like matts recovery never talk about the rating or safety factors
@@lbtt295 I definitely could have doubled it back but I was solo and wanted some distance between dozer and truck in case something went wrong maybe I’d save my front bumper. It was also entertaining to break it😂 as far as using chains go, a lot of people are questioning me using a strap but you hit it on the head- chains are deadly. Straps not so much. That’s why all my buggies have synthetic ropes. I’ve accumulated some scratches yanking equipment out with chains having hooks spread out snap and come back on the machine. If I use a chain I make sure all it’s going to hit is a steel bumper or bucket. Matt’s off-road has actually done a couple videos about the dangers of recovery points like using drop ball hitches to recover vehicles, usually makes sure to touch on it when they connect, but I wish he went more in depth because those yankum ropes while powerful can be very dangerous if used improperly- just hate to see someone play UA-cam university and rip the front end out from under a vehicle or worse.
Depending on the situation I’ll put them in 4 low, helps put a little pressure on the tires to spin up out of the hole in this scenario. Gotta be creative when solo
Dude I’ve been grading for 12 years you should have had more sense to build a pond in the mud you can’t grade mud or a pond like that place looks worse than it should lol rookie mistake
So a job you have no idea how it looked before if ya had such experience you’d know no two jobs look alike🤔yeah it’s a mess over in this corner it came a damn duck drowner in the middle of the day out of the blue while I had it busted open got all the dirt soaked, yea this part didn’t get cleaned up and slicked off that great but it’ll take 3 secconds to fix up
Yea it’s aight. Trained professional lol. Seriously though- I’m always sure to be aware of the danger zone with towing equipment etc, don’t get in front of or behind anything moving. Gotta do what you gotta do to get stuff done sometimes
Didnt want to.get your truck dirty!!thats the most.millenial.thing ive heard in awhile...but i wouldnt eaither if i had to make payments for next 7 years!
You want to use 4hi in mud and not 4lo. Unless you have massive tires and a weak engine like in an old jeep on 40s. 4lo gives you so much torque you will instantly start spinning and limits wheel from getting as high which is what you want in mud. 4hi is what you want for the mud.
Correct. Wheel speed is everything in mud, gotta keep the tread cleared. The truck was already pretty well stuck though, and to put it in gear and have it want to move on it’s own to help while tugging, 4 low is best bet. That wet clay left me with nothing to bite no matter how clear the treads were
So…everyone’s saying I need to get a Chevy because they would come right out, wouldn’t even be stuck…umm go ahead and subscribe because we are going to test that😎
Beautiful truck. Doing what it’s supposed to.
Thanks. I definitely use my stuff lol
A man could never be stuck with a dozer present
Just temporarily lodged if you will😂

Concrete trucks and dump trucks sink quick and hard if ya ain’t careful
Go to your local farm store and buy a tow strap, 30 feet long and 30,000 lb. minimum breaking strength.
I always break em lol. Need some proper recovery equipment or I could try not getting stuck🤣
@@ThomasDTYyankum rope
@@AndyCrumbaker I need to get me one. I’d probably need a couple for different size vehicles from equipment to sxs
@@ThomasDTY 100% worth it
Why are you worried about mud on the truck, IT'S A TRUCK, geez
I think a old seat belt might have even done better than a ratchet strap.... Lol

@@ThomasDTY Hey, if it's always something there it means a another adventure and I hope you continue to share your adventures.
@@BadgerM6 Stay tuned. Everyone keeps saying get a Chevy…I believe we are due for some experiments…🤔
@@ThomasDTY You get whatever truck you want, your options are vast
get a matt’s off-road recovery rope guarantee it never breaks
I need to order one. The problem is my recovery weights vary so much Id probably need a couple one for equipment and one for trucks

Shorten up the straps and doubled it up and have someone giving truck a little throttle while pulling?
Had to go places I was out solo
Apparently you haven't spent alot of time in a dullay or in wet clay
Only the almost 22 years I’ve spent on this planet have involved dirt lol
@@ThomasDTY then apparently you're just not intelligent enough to learn anything.

Why would u leave kt in first? Could have spun out in 3rd or 4th.
Needed it to pull itself as much as possible with no throttle. It wasn’t spinning itself out lol too slick nothing to grab
We had a Cat 1973 D6C and there’s been a few times I had to do just this in what looked like dry ground
It’ll catch ya by surprise

You can have all that😂this some hard packed dirt underneath
@@ThomasDTY yea would take all morning just to move 5ft. Looks fun though👍
@@PureBredDiesel that wet sticky clay sucks to shovel but I’ve had to do it before when I had less equipment and got machines stuck

Awesome quality and customer support, I think it’s actually some of the best quality aftermarket lighting you can get
All you gotta do is air the tires down, she’ll pull right out almost every time as long as its not on the frame.
I was about on the frame haha. Air down won’t get ya out of some situations especially with a dually
And the city boys on here think their Tesla “truck” will do better…. lol
