Hi.. Can anyone help with mud tyres and winch.. As I'm stuck in a bog on waste ground at mcaulay brae in plean:))

Are you out yet?  If not, if you can wait till 6.30, I'll be free then and can nip out and see if I can help

Hi Duncan.. Are u far away??
Also have u a winch or mud tyres as a guy with a l200 with road tyres couldn't do it??
I've given up for the night as been at it all day..
If ur not far and are about in the morning or afternoon???
But if u have the winch it'd be out in 20 mins
I really appreciate your reply..stu

Not far away in Larbert

Where exactly is it   I'll have a look when I'm passing on my way to work in the morning - Don't have a winch but have some long ropes that might avoid having to do into the mud with my Disco

Top of mcaulay brae is a field.. Walk or drive straight across and you'll see it..
A straight pull backwards on the solid ground would do it..
We had it free then tried to go forward again and got stuck again..
If it can be pulled back into the ruts it will drive out in reverse..
Once again thanks.. And if I see u ill come out..

hope you are out by now 
dont forget to post pictures - you will see the funny side eventualy 

No problem

Will sus it out on the way to work in the morning and send you a pm

Nope:)) still stuck.. Decided to wait for a tow as I've run out of dry clothes..

Hi
I went up and had a look this morning, and it's not something I'm equipped to help with.    It's certainly well in and stuck, but guys with the right gear will get it out no problem

It will need a winch and perhaps another motor to anchor it as the grass surface is very wet and slippy.   If they stay far enough out the ground is solid enough to take the recovery motor, but being as wet as it is, it won't take much action before the ground starts to churn up

The problem is that it's bottomed out and the wheels have dug themselves in and created a wall in front of them.   I don't think going in from behind would be realistic for the recovery motor and suggest digging a small slope out in front of the front wheels and pulling from the front.

Sorry couldn't help 

Thanks for taking the time to have a look:))
I new it would need a capable winch vehicle..
I did a good job ehh..only wanted to take my neighbours kid for a trip around the field:))

No point doing half a job!!

Just went and got caked having another go..
Must be someone local with a winch:))
