yes, I had a strap around it to hold it in close to the truck.
If was going to drive on a paved road with traffic i would have looped a chain from the lifting strap up to the pintle ring. I was using a electric planetary gear winch and don't think the drum brakes are super reliable on them...
my friend followed me in his truck. 15mph on dirt roads. I pulled over when a car came up behind us. total trip was @ 8 miles. Felt fine on the last 200 yards of pavement. I was worried about bumps and the eyelets in the bed breaking
I hooked the straps into the eyelets in the bed.
That is how I got my 1008 un stuck. pushed out with the excavator.,
anyone here notice the old NDCC's had a huge side lug? a totally different tire in soft ground in my opinion.
I was using my 108 (20,000lbs) in similar conditions Sat. My 1008 got stuck and it has 315/75 MTR's on it. Sank down. The 108 with its 46" XL's went where I told it to.
it has been my experience that the skinny front tires sink and that is how it starts. Next thing you know your stuck.
I may try. Taz is bringing the shoes he took off his rocks to my bog. I'm gonna measure and see how close they are to new. I may throw a pinion brake on for this bog.
