Hi all

Land Rover been stuck for 3 months. No joke. Long story. Luckily my winch on it is broken (clap hands) and I have no one who can come and help who has a winch.

Anyone on here want a trip out to help the old girl out?

Let me know please

3 months??

@Muddygamekeeper we need more details, is there legal access? realistic ground conditions, what has been tried so far?

The Mad Hat Man · Jan 29, 2020

Which road or byway is it on?
Is it a legal route?
You say it has been stuck for 3 months?

JohnM70 · Jan 29, 2020

Watching.

What do you mean stuck? Is it bogged, something broken, anything else?

Local farmer with a tractor might oblige for beer money.
Are you sure there is anything left?
The vultures normally pick a carcase clean fairly quickly.

It is on private land. Yes there is access.

It is bogged down.

Cannot get a tractor there.

Muddygamekeeper · Jan 29, 2020

Oh, and it has no power for reverse, head gasket is gone. Got a new engine waiting to be put in since September (96k miles allegedly)

If you can't get a 4wd tractor there, I doubt if a landrover will get anywhere near it.
Might be best to wait until the ground dries out in Spring.

No, you can get access via a land rover. Might have to winch up a bank though. Tractor cant get up the bank. There is trees to winch to. If my winch was working I would have been ok. Basically I got stranded rescuing someone else.

Can you provide any photos and a map reference please?

A 4wd tractor will get up anywhere a land rover will go, and then some.
Do you know the landowner whose land the vehicle is on?

Cannot provide public grid reference

Trees in the way

Can you PM a map reference to one of us LZIR chaps? I understand not wanting to make it public

Henry_b · Jan 29, 2020

I've had success with one of these with a stuck tractor

anchor it to one or 2 of those trees with some chain

it'll work a sweat up
