Add to that if you did manage to get near the appropriate leverage onto the little T wrench, it would break in half.
As long as you got stuck with a tree somewhere within a 20° angle to the back of you, and within a reasonable distance, you were good to go with an unstucker.
Of course, the operators wouldn't know about this, and for good reason. The instructions for the unstucker use on the M151A2 was published as an addition to the operators manual, but on 8-1/2 X 11 paper format. So the instructions never really made it out past the CFTO library, especially considering the M151A2 operators manuals were little tiny pocket size manuals.
Below is a page from the unstucker supplement.
