    A wonderful recovery and a lesson for the Diesel Brother(Again) in resilience and determination. Only equipped with a Foden and the will to succeed and overcome any problems with piss taking,ingenuity and a man with a megaphone. 100000 lbs of British steel shifted. Job done. Bravo.

    As your previous commentator said, as a retired marine officer I have seen just that, a really great guy, with many years of seafaring experience, sadly cut clean in two with a cable whiplash, so it all came back to me seeing these boys gathered around these cables under tension…. Please take notice! !

      glad you said something..I am ex ships winchman of 13yrs and my father before me was 30yrs experience...I first thing I noticed with this video and other of their videos, is the lack of thought to safety..The guy in green with the remote is asking to be cut in half should a cable snap, and they do snap...seen a guy cut in half like knife thru butter...had my own close calls.....so to the guys in this video, learn safety of one or two of you will be killed one day@@simoncampbell3144

      YT and other social media has led to hundreds of serious injuries and dozens of deaths. They seem to revell in exposing themselves to all kinds of dangerous practices. Eye protection... Naw! Pulling a tank or Cat through a bog while standing or operating within range of snapping cables and chains... Makes for great clicks! The military only takes these chances when lives are at stake and they deam the risk to life and limb manageable. This recovery would be hazardous enough with properly serviced and inspected recovery equipment. There's a reason why thIs ARV it was abandoned here. These rusty old Fodens are a disaster waiting to happen, when using them for jobs that are high stress on even the best gear - operated by self-taught guys out to entertain.

    When winching off the back like that get a 12-16 foot endless loop, attach it to both spades and run a master link in the middle of it. Then attach your line to it from the snatch block. You’ll be pulling against the earth and and you’re truck stiff legs will thank you for it! The floating master link will ensure even load on both legs.

    I once 'rescued' a set of like-new tracks for an International Half-Track from a bombing range in Holland. The vehicle was partly hidden behind an M-47 Tank chassis and the sand-filled bombs had hit the front of the half-track, but the rear (including the tracks) were undamaged. They just fitted nicely in my Jeep trailer. 🙂

    If Foden made tanks, the war would be won in about twenty minutes. What a beast.

      I'd rather the Mechants and bankers didnt win this one. I suggest you do proper research on the topic, elsewise your children will become living sacrifices to appease Moloch and Baal. The clock is ticking, which way will it be western man?
