Really doesn't seem like too bad of an idea. Worst case scenario you scuff up your wheels or bust a fender if something comes loose and the board gets sideways.
 
I could see with certain types of wheels that being tricky to fasten.

Driver needs good sense not to hammer throttle and spin tires. That's definitely a slow and easy technique. Too much spin and the board breaking could possibly send pieces flying.
 
I've done that with a stuck tractor. It worked. Kept breaking logs and chains. It was a pain in the ass. You couldn't go a full revolution because it would hit the fenders.

That was a shitty shitty day.
 
I love this idea, one more thing to add to the bag of tricks!
 
It's a neat trick and I love the way it worked for the guys on the sunk tractor. Their method of attaching the log to the outside of the rim looked way less risky than the tread attachment. This has marketable potential if someone is willing to invest time and resources. The application seems better than the ramps if you're stuck alone
 
From back in my younger days, I can remember several times of getting the old 2WD pickup stuck. This trick would have probably saved me from walking a few miles. Never saw or thought of this before, and I grew up on a farm... this one goes in the memory bank. Thanks for posting! :)
 
Passed a guy out at Uwharrie two years ago suffering from a Dana 35 broken axle using same log trick. Lucky for him a guy in our group had spares back at camp. Won't work to well on asphalt.

Don at your age by now you should have seen it all.

nobody in this world is more resourceful as an old farmer. thank God I grew up around one of the best. he would've appreciated a winch, but would've preferred a good stout log chain. hats off to those that make of the most of what they have on hand.
 
You'd be hard pressed to find anyone more resourceful than old farmers.
 
I know how you feel, and I'm just starting to show the signs of gray!
