This is going to be awkward.

One last load, its all I needed for this winters hoard.:stacke: Just one last 1/4 cord.
And then this happened.
Ever had brakes that don't work when you hit the pedal...............



No-one hurt. Looks like a job for a tractor pull frame is sitting on the deck, will unload the wood first.

Suggestions are welcome.

 

Throw a tarp over the bed and consider your winter supply covered.

 

So, you have a chainsaw.....right?
Decks are no match for those sharpie teeth.

 

I would get a ARB hi lift jack (or similar non brand name) and jack the front passenger side of the truck up then slide a descent length and thickness of timber under the front wheel to make a ramp and hold the frame of the deck. Hopefully that would stop any further damage. You could even pack some of your splits under the timber to shore it up.

I've had brakes fail several times over the years but managed to come out of it okay. Better it happened there rather than on the highway.

 

Close call. Glad no one hurt. Use caution. I believe, if done correctly, leoht is correct. Level truck out with jack(s) after unloading. Properly secure a strong ramp(s) to drive truck out.

Easier and safer with right wrecker truck, but expensive!

Good luck, keep us posted, and take pictures.

 

Looks like a good reason to get a winch to me...
I bought a cheap ATV sized with remote control that I mounted on a plate that can be chained to the trucks hitch. I then power it up with long jumper cable from the trucks battery. This allows me to fall wrong way leaners the right direction all by myself...works great!
The jack suggestion should work well...be careful with that though...

 

The voice of reason.

 

About 10 years ago I had a close up view of one of those Ericsson sky crane's as it flew over my house then proceeded to drop a load of fire retardant on the next ridge where a bush fire (Forrest fire) was burning. Very impressive machine.

It should only cost about $15,000 a day to hire one of those if there is one close enough near him.

 

Hook another vehicle to it , I've pulled people out of ditches with a car

 

I am with the idea of lifting it up and placing something under it. Once unloaded and if you have some strong ramps you could just drive it away.

 

I would just pull it out with another truck. Get yourself a good strong pull rope.

 

What, no video?

Best of luck with the extraction.

I'd consider yourself very very lucky! That could have turned out much much worse.
I agree with the suggestions of simply hooking it to another vehicle. Should move very easy.
