You may have seen this picture before in the Wrecker of the Year Award. However we thought we would show the true extent of the predicament this bogged down Claas Mega found itself in.
The driver of this Claas combine got a little too close to this wet-spot whilst harvesting last summer.
The initial pull from a Massey 8140 proved unsuccessful.
However after a lot of digging by hand and a bit more brute force from a McCormick MTX 150, the combine was pulled to safety.
Thanks to Steven Lawson for sending in the pictures.
