What happens here

The presenter attempts to pull the stuck Nissan Altima out of the ditch using his Honda Pioneer side-by-side. He prepares the side-by-side by attaching a hay spear to the front loader, noting it could impale the car if he slides. He uses a recovery chain and a tow strap to connect the side-by-side to the Altima's front passenger wheel. Despite multiple attempts, the side-by-side's tires (without chains or studs) simply spin on the solid ice sheet, and the Altima remains stuck.

Goal: Attempt to recover the Nissan Altima using a side-by-side.
