"Bogmasters" they may be, but the bog had certainly beat them this time.

Re: Forestry Commission tractors in trouble.
some cracking photos on that site, some of the recovery sequences show the determination and perseverance of those involved, bogged several machines in peat, never to that extent, and its never easy getting them out again!!

Hi Ray and Clive,
A picture is better than a thousand words.
The drivers face tells all in that last pic.
