Scammells have cable hooked front wheel chocks that are intended for just those circumstances. The cable back and up to underside frame hooks and you back onto them driving them into the ground while tightening those cables so the Scammell cannot run back over the chocks but must drag the chocks and their baldes through the dirt with a few tons of Scammell sitting on them. They also have manual setting rear wheel clamp brakes you reach in between all the rear duallies to tighten That would have enabled the Scammell to sit there in neutral and simply winch that little booger of a dozer out of there like popping the cork, Those trucks can recover 30 ton tanks out of a bog using the equipment that comes with them. No need to fry the clutch like that doofus was doing trying to wheel the thing out. Even today's heavy recovery trucks don't do that silly stuff. Sorry but using the tools you have as they were designed to be used will give better results with less damage to the tool.

Why on earth isn't the dozer engine working with the Scammell?

Ah. The clutch. The pain. Was that really the lowest gear available?

wow when I used to have my old 1954 Explorer if I had down this, I would have used probably three snatch blocks, thats probably taken a few thousand miles off your clutch :((( She did good though.

Cute video. There is something very wrong with that Dozer though.

Do today's lesson is we always park tracked vehicles on a couple of sleepers or a pile of brash if it's going to freeze. I've seen tracks broken doing this sort of thing.

+David Quirk I heard a tale once of someguy destroying a big hoe excavator by trying to pull the tracks out of frozen mud with the hoe. Broke it off at the turn table.

That looked really hard because it was virtually a dead-weight pull due to the the dozers frozen tracks. The line pull looked higher than the weight of the dozer, or, to flip the math, it would have taken less force to lift the dozer vertically :o)
