Have you ever had to remove a rock that was embedded between two dual tires? The way I have done it in the past was a pain, using pry bars or a sledge hammer. This video shows a U.S. Forest Service engine crew using a chain and the power of the truck.
I am guessing the engine is from the Coronado National Forest south of Tucson, Arizona.

I didn’t even know the old way was with pry bars, the first way I learned to get rocks out was with a chain.
Pretty sure that engine is from the Catalina District on the Coronado and the firefighter with the chain is my son, Steve Holley
Cool Tom. Your son is famous! Is he considering a career as an actor? Maybe in the winter between fire seasons? 😉
Cool vid, I saw the guys from the Alpine Hotshots do a similar thing with a rock in the buggy dual a couple of years ago when we were in NM, used a tow strap instaed of a chain, but the same principle.
