Well, I usually get to make fun of all the young guys that I work with, but now for once I am the butt of THEIR jokes...at least for a little while...
My pennance for this mistake and subsequent rescue was to post the pics of my dumb move, so here they are:
Tried to make it through about 150m of drifted in trail, and was convinced that I could, but about 3m into it, I high-centered so bad my wheels werent even touching the ground. JD710 backhoe couldnt pull me out, he had to use the bucket to 'drag' up out of there....I of course am taking some serious heat over this one....

Lol if you had a lighter truck you would of been fine. Ummm who makes a lighter full size diesel truck.....J/K
If your going to do something stupid you might as well do it when you have some Iron to pull yourself out with. I do carp like that out in BFE and have to walk a mile ( 1.609344KM for you Eh) or more to find a framer to pull me out.
