Are you thinking of attaching the rope/cable to the rear (or front?) tow loop and then winching using a nearby tree as an anchor?

Is it impossible to get another vehicle near enough to pull the 240 out?

You will need some pretty heavy duty stuff. Rope - 3/4 inch polypropylene?

Cable - very hard to work with.

Winch - needed power may be far out from budget.

Check at Harbor Freight, if possible.

Good Luck,
Bob
