Sometimes even a big U1300L is no good for a certain type of rescue.   Last winter I dropped my Wrangler off the edge of a narrow road into a ditch, it just slid in slowly with  no real damage.  I only fell into the ditch because the dumb snow plough guy had  ploughed a lovely flat road including the two ditches at each side.     I walked the  mile home in dinner jacket in a snow storm.... (was at a charity ball and came home to check on the farm - chickens away etc.)........Fetched out the U1300L with a good 7.5 Ton electric winch and assumed it would be an easy peasy!!!   Nope.......The Mog just kept sliding to the Jeep !!!!   In the end I took the Mog home and came back to review the situation, I had put on snow suit and boots by then........I used a couple of snatch blocks to a tree that I could only get to by climbing through the other ditch then down an embankment chest deep in snow to attach a strop.   The Jeep came out on it's own Warn 4 ton .....just like that...no problem, just a nice slow, oblique pull back up onto the road.   Moral is a U1300L  may look big but it is not that heavy...had I .....2 Ton of gravel on the back I might have done it with the Mog.
