Well, I was figuring on the ground being a little soft in the spring while the surface wasn't too muddy. I was also pulling down hill so that helped. Funny thing, it tipped over towards the truck and then I skidded it backwards (top first) down the road to an open spot with the cable under the length of the tree/bush with the chain still hooked around the base.
That entire 10 acres above the road is full of multi-stem junipers growing up under the pines.
