That's a pretty neat setup, Glock!

I'd be VERY nervous about driving out on ice though. Does anyone ever fall through? :yikes2:

How do you go by explaining that to the insurance company. :giggle: Well ya know I was out for a little drive and everything was all white. I was just following some tracks and then all of a sudden the road just went out from under me. I was like dang its getting a little cold now. :hehe:

Chuck,
You don't explain it to the insurance adjuster because they use the "Act of God" clause and weasel their way out of it!
Those vehicles are also probably getting fined by the state and the EPA to the tune of $2500-$7000 a day for polluting the water plus the recovery fee!
I used to use an old honda 250 three wheeler to pull my stuff out on the ice. Had a nice portable two man "clam". Its a good time going ice fishing. But my hands couldn't take it anymore, too cold some days.
Seen plenty of vehicles go through over the years. The worse thing you can do is floor it. Just gradually increase the throttle and more than likely you will make it not unless you get into a "big" thin spot.
My $0.02

Holy smokes!

"I know I parked the truck around here somewhere ..." :hehe:

:D Good catch!

I only drive pull that out on the ice when there is at least 14" of ice. I have seen a few guys go through with thier trucks and cars on less ice. You have to remember that no ice is ever completely safe. My insurance would cover me if I dropped my precious F150 in the drink, but I don't want to have to go through that!

Ye Gods! Those were great pictures, One Tom! I don't think there's any way I'd trust the ice to hold my truck - ever! Dang, that looks like cold work getting those things out of the drink. :eek: Not a job I'd want, no matter how bad the economy.

I think some of the recovery fees start at about $1000 and go up from there!
But Jack's right!
Darn cold job especially for the divers eventhough they have their dry suits on.
IMO

I decided that this trailer is gonna be a bit on the small side for hauling my bobcat with the backhoe attached..

So today I got a new trailer at auction.. will pick it up tmw. Had a scary experience with the trailer above when i tried hauling a couple pallets of landscape bricks... the pallet broke and dumped the bricks sending the truck and trailer into a fishtail as i tried to stop the truck:eek:... So I learned from my mistake and do not want to repeat that experience esp as I had my kids in the truck with me... so this is gonna be the replacement

I will probably cut down that loader bucket support frame and also mount 8274 warn winch on this truck with and put a battery on the trailer//
