No sarcastic comments here! :x :roll: :roll:

It is good if we can still have fun!
Surely it was not a great recovery feat, but compared to doing it by hand ....
It's like shooting holes in a beer can with a .22 - it's not a big deal, but it makes one feel so good!

Re: Pajero recovers Tree
I used the tow hitch but not the ball. I used the pin (I have a pin type hitch)

Secondly : it was a pull not a snatch and a lesser weight than the average trailer.

hehe. I just towed the stump around the bend in the video. Turned around and fetched her.
Re: Pajero recovers Tree
:shock: Not a tree but this recovery with the Pajero was more like recovering a beached oil tanker. It was a snatch, but strap was threaded over the towbar's horisontal support stay, not just the ball.

Looking at the photos again it would appear that I had the snatch rope tied to the tow ball. How foolish! Thankfully it did not break. But I now know I have a strong gooseneck there.
