    Got stuck in a rut doing field work, for work. Had my other guys come help me out, they got stuck. Anyone nearby can help pull us out?

    FYI we aren't in Tacos....

    Update 1: 2wd Dodge arrived, going with another person to get the other 4wd truck. We may try to daisy chain trucks together to get out.

    Update 2: truck number 4 has been picked up, hopefully that and truck 3 (2wd dodge) can get us out.

    Update 3: We're all out, had to get too many people involved with too much equipment, but here's the whole story:

    For reference, here are the trucks:
    Truck 1, 2wd F150 rental.
    Truck 2, 4wd F250 with beefy tires.
    Truck 3, 2wd Dodge.
    Truck 4, 4wd Chevy with bald road tires.

    So, I was driving to a location where the other two guys were taking readings. Since I'm not from around here, I punched in the location and said, heck, the GPS can't be that bad around here. It took me off to a gravel road, then on to the farm road. Farm road wasn't so bad the first 3 miles, then it told me that I had 0.25 miles left to go, so I thought, fuck it, should make it. Saw the rut, I was too afraid to stop, didn't know if I would get stuck if I stopped, so I hit it, front made it through, rear got stuck. Tried to wiggle back and forth, but no dice. I called the guys to give me a hand, so they had Truck 2. They pulled in front of the second rut in front of me, and the strap they had wasn't long enough. Driver thought he could make it through, but the engine bogged down as he was making his way out of the rut I was in. He got stuck, we tried to get him out with some stones and dry rotted wood around, no dice. Calledmanager, so he was on his way with Truck 3. While we were waiting, client pulled up and had a chuckle, then left. Truck 3 shows up, too afraid to go down where we were, so sat at the edge, picked up passenger to go get Truck 4. Truck 4 arrives with more recovery gear. Strap from Truck 4 and Truck 2 combined were not long enough. We put a ratchet strap on the cross member under the front bumper, attached it to the two straps, and slow pulled out Truck 1. I then took Truck 1 to go to Tractor Supply Co to grab 2 more 30' straps and 2 shackles. Drove back to site, hooked Truck 4 to Truck 2 with 3 daisy chained 30' recovery straps. Yanked him out, and here we are. See pics below.

    Thanks for all the support everyone! Much appreciated! Let me know if there are any questions!

    A Texas thread would get you better results, I'd recommend TTC as you are in the middle of nowhere, far away from the active TW threads
