Default Intended Carrier recovery, wisdom sought

Dear All,

I have been voluntold to recover this carrier from its current location into temporary storage on behalf of the owners.

As it is a WW2 item, of which I am not greatly familiar I would be grateful if others could comment on the pitfalls of the intended plan.

The vehicle is as pictured.

By the time I get there next week she will likely be frozen to the ground.

My plan is to:-
  1. using a recovery asset see if either end will with some judicious persuasion lift from the ground.
  2. if not I will split track and have it hauled onto a tilt n load truck and then cross decked to our float.
  3. using a tiger torch I will release the track from the now frozen ground by applying pressure as I heat it and draw it from the ground, then load loose to the float
  4. unload will be with assistance of and 8 ton excavator.
Comments?
