Re: novice question on getting a stuck vehicle out
Sometimes we need a little speed to get out of the way of the
stuckee. And we're direct drive to the rear axle, and bypassing some of
the weak components such as that puny chain and sun and planetary
gears: http://www.----------.com/BrokenCase01.jpg

As an old farmer once told me..
"Here, sonny. Attach this to what you want comin out."
....
The rear axle around a draglink but never around the pumpkin.
Preferably to the frame, but that requires a metal connector that
some arn't comfy with. If you have to use a frame hook, put a heavy
blanket over the strap close to the vehicle being pulled out.
