I might have bitten off more than I can chew.. Time to get a little wild!
Published at : 23 Dec 2025
This truck was hauling a skid steer down an icy driveway when the trailer started to push it sideways. Luckily he kept it together enough to aim the truck for the ditch, but then as the tail end spun around the trailer and skid steer went over the edge. I’m amazed it didn’t roll over, and luckily he’s one of the very few people who actually chain a machine down in a dump trailer or it would have tumbled to the bottom. There was no hope of doing this job from the bottom, as none of the trees above it were strong enough to snatch block off of. So I got a little wild with the @NRCIndustries 40TB rollback on a dirt road up the back side of the mountain so that I could come down from above. After that it was a bunch of small winching and repositioning movements until we got everything on the road, and then we used my truck as an anchor to lower them down to the bottom so that it wouldn’t start sliding again. I also have to say a huge thank you to Art Davis of Davis Towing and Tire in Sisters Oregon for my Christmas gift of an 8 ton snatch block, because it definitely came in handy today! If you ever need any towing services or tires in the Sisters/Santiam Pass area, Art and Kathleen are awesome people that are definitely deserving of your business!
