This young man has set this little snow cat up beautifully…especially like the twin stiff legs . Having all the weight of the snowcat cantilevered greatly increase the actual towing capacity of this recovery unit.

[@ludercoarms]

The snow cat was definitely the right tool for the job, that would have been a difficult job with the wrecker, just too soft. I like his idea for the hydraulic field chocks!! We had field chocks (sometimes called field spades) on our wreckers in the Army. They are great for pulling when on slick mud to keep you from pulling your wrecker instead of pulling the stuck vehicle. His hydraulic ones are the cat's ass, beats having to drag them out and set them up every time like the Army ones. Great video!!!

[@markwilson9760]

Awesome snowcat. Matt and Robbie can take some lessons there

[@lonhoschar1943]

Great job getting that guy out. That was a real soup bowl!! The ol' wrecker would have had a miserable time trying to navigate all that soupy mud especially while dragging someone's vehicle out! I think the right decision was made!! LOL!!

Many times people disagree with decisions they didnt get to make, especially when it inconveniences them... im sure this guy was pitching a fit since he hasnt had his vehicle in over a month... but as we can see there are usually reasons behind it. Glad they got it out. Thats an awesome little rig! Great video!

[@mahbriggs]

Which isn't to say the reasons were good! Close the park, yes, not allow limited access to recover a vehicle, no!

[@anthonyraines5951]

@@mahbriggs they did allow him... they just wouldn't allow him to use a wheeled recovery vehicle that WOULD get stuck as well

[@mahbriggs]

@anthonyraines5951 I know of several "mud" trucks locally that could have made that same recovery without doing anymore damage than the tracked vehicle did. Look, the BSF recovery wrecker is quite capable, bit it has it's limits, and would have been unsuitable for this recovery. But there are other types of vehicles that are not designed to lift and carry, but are quite capable of towing!

[@anthonyraines5951]

@m riggs i think we will have to agree to disagree on that. Not saying it couldn't be recovered with a wheeled vehicle but there were many places in that video that the tracks stayed right on top of the ground and the vehicle being towed behind it just sank in.

[@mahbriggs]

@anthonyraines5951 Well it was the vehicle being rescued. It did not have the large tires associated with mud trucks. In fact, it was pretty much a stock vehicle. Did it even have lockers? My point is that it was not a very capable mud vehicle. There are many that could have handled that level of mud quite well. Even my Jeep XJ probably could have drug that Toyota out of there, and it far from a purpose built mud vehicle. My point is it that it did not take a tracked vehicle like to recover that Toyota. Kudos to the guy that did! It looks like a pretty good machine, I am certainly not criticizing him! Just the idiots that prevented somebody else from going in earlier to get the guy out!

[@howardmarty7261]

The only thing I would have done different is not running the cable low to a snatch block. Mud or snow, it just seems to work better if you involve lift, so you aren't dragging it through what got it stuck to begin with. Cool little unit though...

For those of us that live in desert regions, this was quite interesting. I can see why the authoritied didn't want you trying to go rescue it with a wheeled vehicle.

[@mahbriggs]

Which doesn't make the correct decision! A suitably equipped wheeled vehicle could have gotten him out without doing any more damage than the tracked vehicle did. I can understand closing the park to the general public, but not allowing a vehicle recovery was stupid!

[@NBSV1]

@@mahbriggs That takes someone who has to try and determine which wheeled vehicles can and can’t make it and then authorize them. Way easier and less time consuming to just say it has to be a tracked vehicle since there isn’t likely to be a bunch of them, and they likely to make it without digging deep ruts.

[@Griller1977]

That looks to be a recently (last 10 years or less) logged out and replanted. They would have had to hook to 3 or 4 trees for every winch pull, and even that might have yanked trees out by the roots with the ground that soft.
