 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.
 Not a job I'd want, no matter how bad the economy.- Jack Last edited by Jackpine; Wed, November 11th, 2009 at 10:57 AM.

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 Lars

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 ... 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//

DJ,
I was thinking that the single axle trailer was a little under-kill for a skid steer. You'll have a lot better luck with the triple.
