Good info and food for thought.
I will clarify that the majority of what I expect with regard extractions are simple muddy situations in a yard or field just off a road.
I have F350 and F450 pickup. The 19.5 inch tires are not very good when it comes to mud and couple that with the weight, it becomes a problem.
Today, it was a situation backing into a drive and the gravel around a culvert had been washed and a dual dropped deep in really loose grave alongside the culvert. Hitch was on the ground. That dual was sunk deep.
A winch on the front of that attached to a parked vehicle on the road would've gotten him out in 20-30 minutes. Instead, they struggled and tried this and that and finally a farmer came by with a 4wd tractor. Pulled them straight out.
