the new guy sunk the big forklift in the mud bad and i yanked it out with the mighty cummins, the lift was on it's axles and dry goes about 19,500# so probably close to 20k wet, i ran 75-100' of chain so i could pull from pavement and found i couldn't bounce it out unloaded, it would just burn all 4 so i grabbed the heavyest car the little forklift could handle and promptly snapped the heavy duty tow rope that i had doubled for some cush, hooked it with straight chain spun all 4 for about 5 feet and popped that pig right outta the hole, you gotta love torque :D
