[QUOTE="flyerdan, post: 114951, member: 2510"] If you drop the bucket and get a set of forks, you can slide them together so the kingpin just fits between them and you won't have to chain to it, so if it goes rouge it won't take you with it. I still contend that once the landing gear touches down it will anchor it, but at least this way if it slides all the way off the fork tips it'll leave you upright. I don't know the formula for finding the ideal weight of a ss to do this, you'd need accurate weights and grade angle, as well as road surface for traction coefficient. However, I do know that if you try and yard a dead skiddy any distance, even a medium one like a 753, if all you have is a 12k winch you'd better have a snatch block as well, or you'll risk breaking a line.
