Rory is a heck of a guy. I broke a passenger side knuckle on my Ford king pin Dana 60 on the first day of a 2 week Moab trip. We called Rory, and he said, "I probably have one on the shelf, come on by and we'll have a look" So he helped us find one on his shelf, and he told us to take it out there and swap it on, and if it works out, come back and pay him later. I got off the trail, and someone had drilled the taper out to a Chevy tie rod taper. Again, Rory handed me a bunch of adapter sleeves, and let me use his shop to get an adapter sleeve and reamer to make it right for my Ford tie rod end. Would have been a way bigger pain in the ass without his help, but instead, it was all sorted out in an afternoon.

I see what you mean in a normal bulldozer the sprocket is always in the back. This would put stress on only a few feet if track at any given time. The top of the track is actually supposed to have a small amount of slack the main idler would have no load on it. In Matt's snow cat it's pulling on the entire length of the track on top and putting a ton of force around the idler wheel. I think the tracks are fixed to the frame front and back. It would be nice if they could pivot in the front. Better traction and ride on rough ground.

True. As the "pulling power" of tracks is ALWAYS on the part of the track - that gets PULLED by the rear/sprocket - not one at the front which ONLY drags the upper track and has SLACK TRACK (under the vehicle) if a frontal driver is used. Anyone who has "ever" used any sort of TRACKED vehicle, knows the best "grab/pull" effort of the tracks is IMMEDIATELY BEHIND (coming towards the sprocket/driver) than the slack section immediately in front of the driver-axle - where the "slack track" is simply shoved ahead with ZERO pulling power.

I think back to some of the mud recoveries, and then I look at the F550 trying to slide down the side of the hill even after you get it on top. If the next one is harder it is going to be unimaginable. I'm okay digging and hauling stuck F350s out of snow (before I retired) but getting them away from the edge makes me want to climb in bed and pull the covers over my head. Getting the skid steer and dump truck out is out of the league even for most people who are out of _my_ league. Super props, guys!

You and your crew need to keep 2 100 lb bags of rough sand and 100 lb bag of salt for traction the two in conjuction can do wonders when it comes to slippery conditions keep everything behind the back.wheels as possible as the weight makes a big differance for recovery

I think snow is the easiest to deal with, followed by sand being harder, and mud being hardest. However, that is assuming you are properly prepared for the cold, which can compound your problems quickly. But, living with snow, I always have a shovel and oil dry in my vehicle in snow season.

It can get really nasty! Before I retired my partner and I snow catted to Mt. Elden (just north of Flagstaff) many, many times. Below the tree line the road may get a few feet of snow but it is civilized. Above the tree line it can be what the Tucker Sno-Cat salesman described as the worst conditions he had seen outside the Arctic. My partner and I have seen a road grader lying on its side (got too close to the bar ditch) and another Sno-cat buried so deep (about 8 feet) only a patch of the roof showed. Being windswept, the top of the mountain gets really wild. Once there was a series of 8 foot drifts with vertical sides across the road. Another time the road was scoured clean by the wind, but going around the knob we came to a large field of 5 foot drifts, like the North Sea had frozen, and somewhere under that was the road. Occasionally the snow will blow to form a growing lip on a drift, eventually creating a pocket with a nice looking snow top. Stepping on one of those is surprising!

It seems like it would be helpful to have 4-5 sets of snow chains to cover an assortment of tire sizes for trucks being recovered. Snow chains would make the recoveries a little easier and possibly reduce some of the stress on the tow rigs. With all the money invested in equipment and storage, this would be a small investment. Keep up the entertaining recoveries.
