STUCK in THE MUD! How to recover a VERY EXPENSIVE military vehicle with an M984 WRECKER!

[@johndougherty8720]

This was stuck on purpose for training. These things, when all 8x8 are locked in, in low range ... well they will go anywhere. This was stuck on purpose to train in recovery. These rigs are amazing in every way, unless operated by an inexperienced operator ... then you have trouble!

[@karlk6860]

The truck does have AIR ACTUATED DIFF LOCKS on all 4 axles but if he used those he might just drive right out, hence the dig it in DEEP attitude!

[@SitsinShadow]

As an owner of a M977 HEMTT I can't work out why he is chaining it up down there under the cab. There are two front recovery points at the front of the cab, that are meant for this purpose.

[@DontMatter7]

The military loves to make stuff more difficult than what it should be

[@tattooedmillionair]

I believe this is just training for the recovery crew, so if they can do it the difficult way, then they should be able to do it the easy way too.

[@christopherrosas2738]

My guess is more training..... What if those front hooks aren't useable for whatever reason...... Gotta figure out how to get it out when everything goes to shit

[@builttobeat2741]

Exactly, ex military. They'd do it just to make you get covered in mud lol.

[@NH2112]

We always just called a SPLL when we got ours stuck, they couldn’t always pull the HEMTT and HEMAT at the same time, though. I enjoyed being in the SPLL a lot more LOL. The key with a HEMTT is to go in with plenty of momentum. Tighten your seatbelt, secure all the loose stuff in the cab, and hit it HARD!

[@Slim_Slid]

HEMAT? There is only a HEMTT.

[@NH2112]

I’m obviously referring to personal experiences and not the video.

[@Slim_Slid]

@@NH2112 Yes I under stand that but all M977-M985 I know about are a HEMTT,I never heard one called a HEMAT.

[@NH2112]

SS 81 HEMAT is Heavy Expanded Mobility Ammunition Trailer, there were 2 models, M989 and M989A1. The M989 was an actual trailer, very easy to back up but top-heavy and with marginal axles. The M989A1 was a wagon, with a much lower deck between the front & rear axles, and very difficult to back up.

[@Slim_Slid]

@@NH2112 Is it large,or the same size as the MK14-MK18 hydraulic trailers? That's what the LVS MK-48 had,in the USMC before the LVSR came.

[@markw.2106]

I would take the duce and a halves on the Amtrak course. This was in Gulfport Mississippi. The water would be coming in the doors ,what a blast.

Ok now from a person who used to work and drive these awesome trucks, 1. He has 8x8 drive which he is not engaging 2.Most all of these do have a winch so getting stuck in this video is just for training, which is the H8 Identifier which means a Recovery Specialist. These are awesome Cargo trucks never seen one stuck before have driven them where most fear to tread.

[@jacklancaster8010]

Good job!

[@photomasterstudios9495]

I'm not gonna lie, some of those vehicles do not have properly working drive trains, so even on a 6wd (USMC MTVR) or ea us army 8wd LSV or the USMC'S 10wd LVSR can get horribly stuck. I drove the USMC MTVR "7 ton" often, and had some drive trains that only locked 2 out of the 6 wheels it has.

inexperienced operators the HEMMIT is not in 8X8 By only selecting 8X8 note all of the tires are not pulling, you must also engage the inter diff lock that would have given him double the drive wheels I have shown up to many of these stuck and merely instructed the driver how to drive it out.

[@nic12344]

Well, the base price of a HEMTT is $135,000. However, the US army paid $173,000,000 for 600 HEMTT in 2010. That's an average of $290,000 per truck. The cost can vary greatly depending on the model and the equipment on board. It is possible that a unit get above the million mark, but the truck in this video is most likely a very basic M977 or M985.

[@zacspofforth11]

does it rly matter just enjoy the video and don't b pedantic

[@jimson8738]

What if it has full tank of fuel Hnu?

[@motorhead883_8]

They should attach the chains to the shackles on the front of the truck. Not around the frame where it can cause the cab to bend or cause more damage to the vehicle. I was a 91BH8, also this is a training scenario but removing the snatch block with the crane is a waste of time. It weighs about 100lbs between to people you just throw it off the side of the truck and then carry it to the other truck. Using the crane takes too much time and can get you killed.

[@chris76-01]

It's a government vehicle. Damage doesn't matter. They'll just buy another one for free on behalf of taxpayers 😂

[@ataxpayer723]

Notice how the dead weight of the "stuck" vehicle is pulling the M984 backwards.

[@riff2072]

[@tls62784]

I get that its a class but as a H8 first thing id do is tell the operator to put it in low 8 and interlock. If that didn’t work id pull it out from the rear. Why pull it through the mud when you’ll get less resistance pulling it back through the tracks it just made. Looked like they needed to drop the spade. Also, fuck that snatch block.

[@donutmp4803]

All M977-M985 HEMTT's have rear lockers in the back axles,they are mechanical and air actuated.They also have inter axle locks or power dividers just like some of the M1070 HET's do.They have engagement actuators on the front axles,which are technically limited slip,but it still can be completely engaged into 8×8,another way to get the front working is to put it in to low gear.

[@Slim_Slid]

@@feellnfroggy Either way,I do agree with you,I do not under stand why they would put chains under a 40,000 lbs truck instead of attaching them to the tow hooks on the front,and then letting the M984A4 pull that M977A4/M985A4 out.

[@feellnfroggy]

@@Slim_Slid playing devil's advocate, I could argue that the towhooks are not rated towhooks, and factory designed as tie down points. But given the nature of the vehicle, maybe they are rated tow points. But we're still in agreement, had to be a better way than getting under the vehicle like that

[@Slim_Slid]

@@feellnfroggy It is easy to break them,using a tow bar would have been much better,and it's a solid connection,not on stress or loose like the chain is where it can snap if that truck moves at just the right time.And that wrecker would have had no problem towing away that cargo truck at all,they have towed M1070's that still had their M1000's attached with tanks on them.They do in fact use them as tie down points like you said,that's what they do with them to strap down the chains to TTX rail cars when they have to be transported by train.

No use attaching rope back to tow truck for extra pull (except to halve the load on the winch). The anchor (tow truck) will still only be the same weight for winching as will the item being dragged.

[@tracybeme1597]

I guess he's trying out for buds. 00:57 Uh, numb nuts try those loopy things in front. Better yet, mount a winch push bar like your deuce and halfs. A 5 ton winch with double double spindles (max 40 ton draw normal 20 ton draw) will easily self-extract your 12 ton vehicle. Or the above with one double spindle set on each truck, nose to nose and use both winches. Bigger or more expensive vehicles is not always the answer. There are plenty videos on YT to teach you how to use pulley systems. One very creative guy instructs you how to use two poles and a long rope to extract your vehicle.
