the trailer.

A winch is like trying to shear off a nail, versus
pulling it out. Use a jack to lift it up, fill in
under the wheels, and drive away. You can use a regular
floor jack, but you might need to do a bit of digging
to make a bit of a trench for it.
Depending on the tools you have available, somethi

Are they like the spring compressors? A cheap one will kill you?
You under-estimate the might ML!

Don't forget Channel Locks (still made in the USA) and Crescent wrenches.
Anything else is a poor imitation.

If a big heavy suburban and a tractor won't pull it out that little ML won't.
The winch on my trailer is only 5k, that's why it would not pull the truck out.
I think I'm going to upgrade to a 12k with wireless remote, that would pull it
out I'm sure plus would make loading junk cars much easier
Put the ML in that super low range, stump puller mode, and let it pull that
POS out of the mud :-)
Assuming that you've put the new tires on it already - - -

My tractor is not big enough to lift the truck. I have dug out all around the
pits but it's hung up in the middle probably the diffs. I did try jacking it up
last week but may try it again.
