[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1355731, member: 498"] I have never got one stuck too bad. But I have helped pull out some real well stuck big pieces of equipment. With half a dozen well placed blocks and 1,500 feet of 7/8 inch haul back cable I can pull the plug out of the bottom of the ocean. Watched a guy ride a D-8 down a nearly vertical hillside. I was cutting road right off way up by Forks, WA. Steep ground into virgin timber. The bank gave way under the Cat. He managed to get it pointed straight down the hill which kept it from rolling. He road it out to the bottom which was probably 800-900 feet down. I scrambled down there and he was still sitting on the Cat white as a sheet. I asked him why he never put the blade down. His answer was he was afraid that if the blade caught on anything that the Cat would flip endo. I had to half help him walk back up the hill because he was a bit weak in the knees (a little flatter route than he took on the way down). The Cat stayed there until they logged the unit. Used the tower with inch and a quarter main line to pull it up the hill. [/QUOTE]
