MaxTrax - Very happy

Hi all

Doing some renvovation to our new house in Vic. keeping the story short, we just filled in a big trench for the new plumbing and that arvo, i hired a bobcat to clean up the rest of the yard. After running up and down beside the filled in trench, I unfortunately back the bobcat in and fell into the soft sand. The yard has all very sandy soil. The bobcat fell on a bad angle and we tried everything to pull it out, causing it to fall closer and closer to the side of the house. By this time I had to dig the teeth on the bucket into the ground to stop it moving. There was a 12m skip in the driveway and no way to get the 4b in to tow or winch. we tried the hand winch and ropes, everything. Right about now my old mans says, "what about those orange track thingos at the other house. Quickly my partner ran home, (other house around the corner) and got the maxtrax. I slotted them under the front wheel and drove straight out. It was unbelieveable. As far as i am concerned they just paid for themselves as no damage was done to the house and i didn't have to pay for another days hire on the bobcat. My partner got some photo's, she thought she had it on video, but there was a small technical clitch, so I will post up the pics later.

cheers
