It can be dangerous if the operator is not careful. Dozer operators have been doing this for at least 50 years but they chain the logs across the tracks.

That is kewl as hell!

I'll remember this one

That's not new or unique to Norway, farmers have been doing that for many years. Thankfully with most tractors being 4wd and having front end loaders nowadays the need for that is much less often. I'd only do that if I had no other options. In their case it looked like there was firm ground about 30' in front of the tractor, I'd have pulled it out with another tractor and some cable. Much less dangerous that way.

Actually, I didn't think the place where he was stuck looked all that bad but he did have some used-up looking tires. And that big assed trailer is probably why he had a problem.

i put them accross the tire, not along ... pops right out
