Hi,
I live on a private road, the road has a hill and a 90 degree corner. Logic says that you should probably take the corner slow after freezing rain and snow. My neighbour didn't bother to slow down (and had summer tires on) and took a nice trip over the side of the road. I pulled him out with my JCB 212s (2cx in Europe). I did try to just pull him out but I couldn't get any traction and the tires just spun. I don't have tire chains. I couldn't even make it up the hill to the corner until we sanded the road. I ended up having to use the hoe to pull the car up. We had two straps attached to the car, one to the hoe and the other to the machine. I would pull the car until the hoe was all the way in, tighten up the second strap to keep the car from sliding down the hill, then reposition the hoe and pull again.
Here's some video:
