I would think a tow bill would be pretty high, maybe find a lowboy to drag it back.

if you tow truck with drives on road - disconnect drive shaft from axels and secure it with strope.

A fifth wheel hitch is probably the cheapest way. if you can get someone with a tractor to pull it otherwise a lowboy is you best bet

back off the brakes and slowly pull it up with the lowboy tractor and a strap. I load at a place that provides vehicles without engines occasionally and they pull them on with a F350 and a strap!
