My buddy stuck his D5N the other day. He has always helped me out so I jumped at the chance to help him. Anchored to two trees the M818 idled the Cat out of its quagmire..!! Used a snatch block on the dozer draw bar to double the line pull. He was pizzed cuz he was stuck, but I was enjoying it...!!

You would love to see all of his equipment. He is a one man operation and keeps his D5, 955 loader, Cat backhoe and Bobcat skidsteer looking like new all the time. It was killing him to see his baby down in the mud..! He won't even haul it when the roads are wet (seriously) much less when it is raining...!

You got him out with out damaging your truck, that's good. But I would never anchor the winch truck down like that, you're just asking for trouble. You should have used a scotch anchor to chock the front wheels. That way you won't pull your truck apart.
