The ASV Slid OUT of CONTROL.

What happens here

To recover the stuck ASV RT-135, a Gravely Atlas UTV equipped with tracks and a plow is used. A heavy-duty tow strap is securely attached between the two vehicles. The Gravely Atlas operator then slowly backs up, applying steady tension to the strap. As the ASV is slowly pulled backwards, the operator uses the mulcher head to create a ramp of wood chips under the machine's tracks, allowing it to regain traction and slowly drive itself out of the stuck position. This demonstrates a practical recovery method for heavy equipment in challenging conditions.

Goal: Successfully recover the stuck ASV RT-135 using a tow vehicle and strategic mulching.
