Wish I had a video camera.
Well I wish I had a video camera at work today. We were moving a big tanks outside with a 10ton carrydeck crane. Well to make a long story short we got the crane buried to the frame in the mud. Being the biggest piece of equipment we had on the job nothing else would pull it out. (let a 2wd chevy try..as expected....nothing) So I said Ill give it a shot. People pulling into the job were stopping and saying "We gotta see this." I backed my truck up hooked up, got the straps tight and eased into the throttle. The truck sounds good with a load behind it. And slowly the truck started going forward with the crane in tow. AH I LOVED IT!!!!! I just had to share. Ill take a pic of the crane tomarrow.

Very nice Zach, you'll have to get us some pictures up of the Crane, I am sure it wasn't a light pull with it being stuck in the mud.
