Friend who drives semi was out bush one day after a lot of rain and saw a farmer in a paddock with an articulated 4WD tractor
bogged to its bum. They unhooked the prime mover from the trailer and hooked it to the tractor.
He said there was a lot of revving from both etc and then the whole lot started to move. Beauty. Farmer was in the cab with a thumb up so keep going.
Next thing my friend knew the farmer and cab had almost disappeared. The pin and plate assembly that joined the front of the tractor
to the back had literally torn off.
End result. Oh well, thanks anyway mate - front of the tractor unbogged - rear still completely stuck so at least they got halfway there.
