Oops!!!
Haven't done THAT yet but nearly did on the Oodnadatta Track at Alberrie Creek in August. The mud/ooze was over the sidesteps front to rear on my 4x4. Took 6 of us 4 hours to dig, jack, pull, swear and 10 railway sleepers of the old Ghan railway to get it out. Once we broke the suction, it was a lot easier. I did think we would have to bring in an excavator to extract it. So a downhill walk to the tractor would have been a soda. Happy New Year, Robert.

Role Reversal
How about a Blitz rescuing a tractor, as you can see, a Blitz winch 'trippled' up with snatch blocks has quite a pulling force!
Paddocks are wet around Yass!

Excellent
But how was the blitz anchored?

It was anchored to a smallish casurina type tree with a chain and wheel chocks.

Anchor
That is a very impressive effort. Did anyone get some motion footage of it? Any more pics of the blitz?
