Well........... Good news was we had a backhoe. Bad news was it was an hour away. I made a land spped record with the backhoe to get back there. Other bad news was it was dark when I got there and it sunk about 5 more inches than what was pictured.
It did try to tip once when we were dragging it out. Had to do it with the boom and plant the stabilizers to get grip to the ground.
Got it out went to the car wash greased everything in about an hour. Nothing broken
