First a Thank You to Scott/John, Raymond, the Busco Beach Recovery Team. Never let it be said that recovering a OX from the middle of Busco Beach is and was easy. Scott and John helped us get it to the top of a hill, when we got it there who showed up was like a MIRACLE. Raymond just happens to drive by on his ATC and starts to help us out. After talking, we decided this was not going to work, so we got in the Argo and went to get Scott's trailer. Thank GOD it was a dry weekend. How many does it take to get a MUDD-OX in a trailer, 1 Yellow Beast and 5 guys. We got it back to camp, dropped it out of the trailer. The next morning Kris and I took 2 hours getting it in our trailer. We are so happy now that we bought that 6 ton come-a-long. It just pulled the OX right into the trailer. Will call MUDD-OX buy the few parts that broke and Big Greenie will be back on the road in April. Scott/John that night made some great Hamburgers and we all sat around and said it could have been worse.

Trying to move a Mudd Ox with only one side driving is like trying to herd an elephant with a ping pong paddle.
What luck...Raymond showed up. AFTER hours of pushing winching and pulling we finally got to where we could get a trailer in.
Not much video this trip!http://youtu.be/E7Izm57YT4o -
Yay Ray! Sorry about the break down with Greenie. Looked like you had a beautiful weekend with weather otherwise. See you guys in April!Comment
