Sandstone is so hard that I have to use the ripper. Access up path barely a metre wide and facing back to cliff edge so 1.9t only option. Really handy to have the Sherpa scooping up from the bottom and running ten yards to pile up out of the way for the grab. Yes I could have changed to bucket and tracked back five feet and swung it around, but this is just so much easier and neater.

now this on the other hand looks far more interesting :giggle:

" Scammell crusader Spares or repair Engine seized £1800 worth or new tyres with it Message 4 more details - vehicle location is Cheltenham " :giggle:

'79/80 on a V plate'd be historic and exempt from T&T and as a recovery probably license 'free' too :giggle:(y)

Slight issue .. engine seized .. :cry:
looks to me like a Cummins sump sat on the front ... :unsure:
@Mogman .. got a lump that'd go in there ?? and would it fit on your trailer ?:giggle:

They did however have the option of Detroit V8 2T 305HP supercharged, Rolls Royce Eagle 220/280/305, Leyland/AEC 250HP V8, or Cummins V8-903 Diesel engines.??:unsure:

few questions really .....
could Mog reverse this 2/3rds of a mile, in down my drive on a bar, behind his unit (cos we'd never turn it around) ??
HTF do I:-
(a) sneak it in past SWMBO
and then
(b) hide the bloody thing :oops:
and when could you fit the job in @Mogman :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

not much that wouldn't tow .. rated at 35t and weighing in at 18+

You could start up a a nice vehicle / digger recovery service with a few bits like that.
Now that would be a vocation.

Snap...often thought that. anyone any idea what sort of hourly rate the big lads command at a tricky recovery?
Houghs run a lovely Kenworth here so must be worth it..

Look at the gear crouch recovery have for off-road use.
Some serious kit

I remember seeing one on YouTube and it had big spikes on the back that go down into the ground to anchor the truck.
Very cool stuff.

Lots of big wreckers about, but then you see blokes with a major and winch doing just as good a job without spending 6 figures!

There’s a firm near here called Millington’s that do a lot of machine recovery. They have a haulage business and drag stuff out ‘on the side’ practically as a paid hobby.
They dragged a 40 tonne crane out for me many years ago with a major and big winch, but also had an ex American military 6x6 wrecker on the low loader that they used to drag a monster ash tree (that the crane was supposed to reach…) out as a bit of a favour (in reality I think it was an excuse to use the truck tbh!).
No pics sadly, it was an expensive disaster of a day unfortunately!

That’s the exact people I was thinking of when I replied, j r millington. Seen their posts shared a few times on facebook. Look to also have a newish tatra truck, and this!
