    That milk tanker driver was extremely lucky! I'm impressed that someone was able to pull that heavy truck out with horses.

    He just needed a little tug. It looks like he had his own traction almost immediately. Its real easy to get stuck doing them sharp turns. Your drives want to go strait but your steers want to turn. Your drives end up slipping in the turn or your steers slip and you go strait ahead, or any combination of the two.
