i saw this ad for wanting a housebus pulled from the ground which it sunk into.

not sure how you'd be best to get it out, buy maybe someone here has the gear?

Looks like you need that lada that was pulling out 2 landys which someone posted up the other day :lol:

my best guess would be a tractor (or 2) and a days spade work - that thing looks heeeeavy!

That one is never going to die out :D
I would of thought a bulldozer or traxcavator would be the shot.
Can do the spade work and the towing in less than an hour 8)
I keep looking for the loose nut behind the wheel, but I can't find it!!

I can think of one thing a sky crane ( Helicopter) expensive but it will get the job done quickly.
