    My guess is this was not a stuck vehicle recovery but a poor judgement in where to unload the antique White semi tractor. If you look closely at the beginning there are signs to the effect that they had backed the trailer to that position the tractor was unchained, and the skid steer gave it a nudge to start it rolling. Their biggest mistake was to #1 back too close to the downward slope #2 not place any support blocking under the rear of the dovetail. #3 having two guys videoing the procedure instead of helping.

    The video caption and the preview picture (shows a yellow truck getting it's front axel ripped out) don't match.
