warratahs...now man at work made me wee gizmo that shocked me in how good it is....piece of 2" heavy pipe 3" long with a 3" square flat welded to one end so its like a big cup/top hat with square rim...sit the sucker on top of warratah and hit the flat plate...you cant smack your hand holding the pipe bit as its underneath the rim and the top of warratahs dont get bent up....you can leave insulators on unlike using the top hat with handles models....
we have commercial "black snake" tow ropes for our fert trucks...they stretch like buggery but the trucks come out...biggest trick we learnt was to pull truck from front at sharp angle so it pivots on one back wheel,popping other three free of shit then lurches itself up n out....when really stuck the towed truck can rear n lurch like crazy horse before clearing itself,the tow rope shrinking as it moves then tight as tower gets moving...at times I admit I hide down behind dash as its plurry unsettling seeing that tight black line pointed back at you......thats the other advantage of towing at angle....it points past you.
