Installing foot bridge with Tracker
« on: July 31, 2011, 09:01:13 PM »
We are doing an upgrade to Silverarrow Bowman archery club, which includes new foot bridges.  I built a 40' long bridge (out of 6" pipe) to cross over a creek passing through the archery range, and used my Tracker to move the bridge into position.  After making my way through the trees and brush, I used the winch & snatch block to lift/drag the bridge across the creek.

Then winched it into place.

Then I had to try and drive out.

The work crew had to see whether I was going to get out.

It was a tight fit.

I did have to use my winch to get out, with all the humus I couldn't get enough traction to climb out.  Everyone was impressed with the abilities of the Tracker.

It does need new meats, but just below the last photo it was probably as steep as I had in Moab, only in forest dirt it just dug holes.  I had it on two wheels when I was going down in.  I thought I was going to take out the mirror then also.
