anybody tried snatchin stuck dead weight?

the other day at work the forklift got stuck in the dirt diggin about a 6 inch rut in the dirt, so i hooked it to my taco with the diff locked and the forklift wouldnt even budge? the forklift is small one like the one in the pic. anybody tried snatchin dead weight like that with success?

 

Never with my taco, but I've had to pull out our 15k pound forklift several times, had to use the duece and a half or 150 horse tractor. The taco just doesn't have enough weight.

 

ya thats what i figured, it was worth a shot. it was more of a curious thing just to see if the damn truck would move it. it ended up takin a 6.0 powerstroke hubs locked in 4 lo to pull it out

 

Not to assume, y'all don't have a larger lift or electric?

Had a driver get bogged down in mud with a load of wheel skidder tires; our CAT 110 lift would not move it so I had to grab the 330!

 

no we dont.lol ima tech at a ford dealarship so we use the forklift for pickin up engines and trannys when they come off the truck. so all we got is our trucks if it gets stuck

 

That forklift weighs several times what a truck weighs. I would not expect it to move a bit mired down in the muck.

 

My truck couldn't even snatch a medium sized tree stump out of the ground. Truck isn't heavy enough. Broke a tow strap from Harbor Freight trying though! Had to call a guy to grind the stump down.

 

i was just tryin to see if it would budge it any, i wasnt expectin it to pull it all the way out. plus i didnt have my pull strap just my chain

 

tried snatchin a big lawn tractor out. Propably weighed just as much as the truck, and it didn't even budge. Didn't help that I buried the tractor in a super deep ditch. Backhoe got it out though.

 

I used to drive one of those exact same forklifts. Those things are HEAVY. Not trying to downplay the Tacoma, but you probably would need a 3500 with a diesel to yank that out! lol. I would suggest trying to find a way to get some 1X6s under the drive wheels to try and get it some traction. Yeah, the boards will break, but they will give some added traction.

 

haha ye it took a 250 diesel we had on the lot to pull it out, and we even put the forks on the ground to pick it up some and slide a 1x6 under and the forklift still wouldnt catch.
