Pete,
Thanks,
I`m glad someone was able to get some use out of it. If you go on to "My first carrier" in this forum, at reply #15. I have included a few of the pictures of when my carrier was pulled out. A tractor, and a truck with a tilt trailer, with a winch. It went sooth and quick. My friend Pete did the organising. I did the paying!
Doug

hey doug i checked out your recovery, a little nicer than what ive got myself into but good to see the process. my friend and i both work for a mobile crane company, he is and operator and I am a licensed crane/truck mechanic. we half the access of a float trailer and a truck to haul it. and the means to get everything out now. now we just have to find the time.
will post pics and video when the time comes. i still have to get the pics for the carrier as it sits right now.

thanks Pete

Well the snow has hit here in Cardiff/Bancroft area and most likely be the same for the Haliburton area as well. We got about 3-4" yesterday and last night and it's been comming down quite heavy tonight as I type this, and I just checked outside and looks like another 3 to 5" has fallen up till now and supposed to snow all night

hey can you get a bed truck in there? you guys must have a trucking company that has one out there? we used one to pull a 70 chevelle out of a swamp and it was in the swamp for 20 years(still had some good parts left). we just attached the winch cables to the bumper mounts and let her rip. i dont know how heavy a carrier with mud is going to way, but it cant be more than a mud shack. being alberta there is alot of trucks from the oilfield around that can get into places alot of haulers cant get into.
