Mmm... there's only 50ft clearance with the trees as I said
and with regards to towing sideways, we'll wreck the steering and exhaust AS WELL AS the suspension (which is so rotten it will be wrecked however we vacate the damned thing). Thought of it, but it appears that lifting upwards in some way (i.e. the catapillar tracked digger on the front end) is the only option.
