4x4 stuck in deep mud on a farm track? Agricultural 4x4s loaded with equipment can exceed standard recovery truck capacity. Our 7.5 ton truck and heavy-duty winch can extract even heavily loaded off-road vehicles.

Never exceed your vehicle's weight rating to avoid a second trip — overloaded vehicles are harder to stop, harder to steer, and much more likely to suffer mechanical failure.
