Quickfarms Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 It’s common to remove the cars after a wreck if they can get them out.The problem with doing this type of recovery with a rotator is the winch cable is two short. Since they are only carrying one extension, one chain and one harness it looks like they don’t do this that often. The reality is you need about 500 feet of cable for some of these recoveries. Around here, just about 25 miles from downtown LA, the trucks that do this type of recovery are properly equipped. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/61972-the-boss-died/#findComment-448169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Horse Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Nice job but wouldn't a big 4 axle hydraulic crane be a better choice for a job like that??? looking at the angle of that cable, they sure did have a lot of resistance going up the slope. I recognize the capability in terms of pounds drops off big time as the radius is increased but still I would think a big stick hydraulic crane would have an edge. No clue-just asking.

Ditchdiggerjcf Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 It's the standing around videoing himself talking about the wreck, and probably the whole drone footage deal that would set me off if I was paying. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/61972-the-boss-died/#findComment-448202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Ole Ozzy had probably had some good smoke. I’m sure he didn’t mind the bill, he just got another toke. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/61972-the-boss-died/#findComment-448205 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your thinking Willie Nelson, Ozzy would probably have been snorting most of his meals at the time.
