I'm a little different here with just me and a part timer (retired guy). I take carrier with side puller and will say most of the time will get what I went after, I have had to get 12 ton for a real hard pull but can only think of a couple of times that that has happened. The side puller is an amazing asset to have in the tool box. I am not saying you guys are doing it wrong, I would like to have someone else to bring another truck along many times, but we do with what we have.
