No sarcastic comments here! 
It is good if we can still have fun!
Surely it was not a great recovery feat, but compared to doing it by hand ....
It's like shooting holes in a beer can with a .22 - it's not a big deal, but it makes one feel so good!

I used the tow hitch but not the ball. I used the pin (I have a pin type hitch)
Secondly : it was a pull not a snatch and a lesser weight than the average trailer.

Not a tree but this recovery with the Pajero was more like recovering a beached oil tanker. It was a snatch, but strap was threaded over the towbar's horisontal support stay, not just the ball.- The dry crust of the road to Sandwich bay can collapse by surprise.
- The action is on!!!
- The Paj is the HERO!!

Looking at the photos again it would appear that I had the snatch rope tied to the tow ball. How foolish! Thankfully it did not break. But I now know I have a strong gooseneck there.
