The only bad experience that I have had doing something like this was
trying to pull a tree out of the creek up at Mom's farm with the '49
****** pickup. I put a nylon strap from one side of the frame out and
around the tree trunk and then back to the other side of the frame. I
put her into reverse gear and low range on the transfer case and
started backwards. This was a 50 foot plus tree that was about the
diameter of a telephone pole and I was trying to pull it the wrong
direction and up hill. The ground was mostly sand and Molly just sat
there spinning first one tire and then another. Next I would pull
forward and then back up as fast and the sixty horsey power 134 Fhead
would do until I snapped and spun. I ended up with a pair of bent
rims on the back. Those Timkins are pretty tough.
