unfortunately... the truck didnt stand a chance! picked the @$$ of the truck up off the ground and wouldnt break the tree! And I even had a wedge cut about 1/2 way into the pulling side and about a 6" deep cut in the back side!

Yeah....if you would have used a ****** strap instead of a chain and placed it a little lower you probably would have had better luck. The strap lets you get a little strech/momentum pull going before it lifts your axle off the ground. Best is a winch though......
