Default My good deed for the day

Found this bloke today panicking about his boss finding out he had got the works truck stuck.

Easy pull with a bit of decent rope.

He had been digging quite a hole for himself.

How the heck did he manage to get stuck? He had loads of room!

Here's a narrow turnaround, and the guy didn't get stuck.

What makes it even more impressive to me is the fact the trailer is articulated at the hitch on the truck and the trailer front axle too.
If you've ever tried reversing with a hay wagon you'll know what I mean. It takes some practice even in an open field. I was about ready to shoot myself one time in a wooded lane.
