True but they do have a bigger and lighter footprint, with some support they can pull better

Yes, it seems as though the ground pressure will be a factor in this one, get too close & you'll be joining it.

hobbit:
Get a chinook in then :wink:  :lol:

Or one of the old mil recovery wagons with 200feet of winch cable, to sit on the hard ground and or ground anchor to hold them still

petergalileo:
the area the lorry is, it is a mixture of sand and mud which is almost saturated with seawater.  As the front tyre is now at least 2 and a half feet below the surface of the sand it is also about a foot below the high tide water level.  If it wasnt for the chassis spreading the weight the lorry would be well under by now.

I think the chinook is a good idea, and a lot more exciting to watch too !
