This is the start of a real hair raising attempt to get the 36000 pound truck with the 100 foot crane on top into our side yard and close enough to the downed tree to allow the crane bucket to reach the top. The ground was soaked and muddy. He only got up past the plywood on the ground before spinning in the mud. They tried to winch the truck in with a long cable and another heavy dump truck but it kept sliding toward the garage and the house. I thought we were going to end up with the truck on its side and my garage wall caved in. They gave up trying to come in front first and backed in.
