on a lighter note...

We need a picture of that!

Unfortunately it was before the days of cameras in phones.

One of my guys got the skid steer stuck cleaning out a log jam in a marshy area. I got the first tractor stuck trying to get him out. Another one of my guys got the second tractor stuck trying to get me out.

We called a wrecker and even though it was chained to a tree as an anchor, got it stuck. The wrecker was at least able to winch out the second tractor. I went to the yard and got a spool of 150' of wire rope and with multiple pulls from a safer distance, was able to winch out the other equipment. We had to drive steel posts into the ground and attach come-a-longs to the skid steer to keep it from flipping as it was being winched out.

I asked the wrecker driver how much I got to charge him for getting him unstuck. He gave me a discount.:cool:

Complete waste of a day.

Sounds like you could've used help from Ukranian farmers and their tractors? LOL

Hi Marcus
I'll 2nd limcroma! Booked 2nd trip at SCI last week. Those guys are great. Trying to get hooked up with Peter when he gets to the states if I can break away.

What sling studs do those swivels fit ? They look to be quite a bit wider than the standard modern swivels. They may be just what I need for my Remington 30 Express wide swivel studs. Can you measure the pin diameter ?
