Matador would be nice with spades and a winch. We got one of the wagons stuck at Smallwood last year in the bombhole, we usually use the mili to winch them out but she’d blown the main hydraulic hose that morning, old matador came pootling over, ran a cable out an hoiked the kraz out without stuttering

It has a fairlead at the front, so cable could be fed through to the front.

You’re right. No spades though so pulling effort is limited

Where the photo of your Dad's old Wrecker was taken


MiL used to buy all her cars from there.

I remember Rosebank bringing in a Chancelot Mills truck on a similar recovery unit (if not the same unit)
when I was setting up the electronics workshop for George Thompson AE Ltd in Rodney Street in 1988.
