NO as posted in the recovery thread, it was BROUGHT at a CITY AUCTION, no different than U.S. ARMY on a surplus truck
NOT cool to even say this, NO need if the RECOVERY THREAD HAD BEEN READ
YES, used to be anything over 6' required a tag line, anything below 6' you could just use your hand, NOW EVERYTHING requires a tag line, no matter how high, a real pain
Also forgot to mention, it is heavy, VERY HEAVY, that being said, if I had the money I would put 2 up on the 819, just for more gear, just like in military use, scrounge what you can, may never need it but better to have just in case.
We had one at the 11SSGAR, in hard dirt, it does not dig in, but plows, needs a HOLE dug to set it, so to use it in hard dirt you would need a shovel and either a pick or a bar with a edge
Think you are a long way from pulling the pan then the motor, No noise, ran great, shut off, no start, hum. NO REASON to think the motor locked sitting NOT running, unless a MAJOR water leak into a cylinder, not likley, though even that is fixable
