On the flat, I'm sure it would pull more than 15 ton but 8 is the only figure I've seen LR put their name to.21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
Could you use a couple of pulley blocks to halve the effort?.

Once it gets rolling it should be fine, just make sure the air brake is released.
For the stunt with the crane they didn't use the recovery eyes - they bolted extra metalwork to the chassis. frame.
edit: well, if DSL says they don't have a chassis, who am I to argue.

Remember the old days when we all went on factory visits and we casually referred to “the chassis”? Boy did we get told off and it was a frame, not a chassis!

I had the same bloke as “tour guide” on 2 of my tours so knew second time round to get the word “chassis” in a fair few questions second time round. It mutated to “chaaaaadder frame” by the end.
