Default Role Reversal

How about a Blitz rescuing a tractor, as you can see, a Blitz winch 'trippled' up with snatch blocks has quite a pulling force!
Paddocks are wet around Yass!

It was anchored to a smallish casurina type tree with a chain and wheel chocks.

That is a very impressive effort. Did anyone get some motion footage of it? Any more pics of the blitz?

Sorry Keith, no action shots, I was operating the Blitz and the bogee was at the wheel of the tractor during recovery, and I wasn't really thinking about Blitz photography at the time anyhow. I know, I need to reasess my priorities.

Default Fun day

I washed the blitz and Vicki and I went on the first run for the year. The mountain man run at Batlow. We went on a scenic tour around the hills of Batlow/Laurel Hill/Kunama then to a picking shed on an orchard for lunch.
Vicki drove home so the gear box is well polished from her tripple clutching and the cobwebs were blown out of the engine when on the first down hill section she let it go with me pleading for her to cover the break!
