Recovery operations are carried out using two Rotzler hydraulic winches and a hydraulically operated crane.
North Yorkshire Fire and rescue crews released Mr Brader using specialist winches and airbags to lift up the tractor.
The company, which has divisions in the Blue Toon, Aberdeen and Old Deer, makes hydraulic equipment such as winches and cranes, for the fishing and offshore industries.
It has neat navigational aids, polished winches, ropes a-plenty, exciting pump-action loos and a limitless supply of biscuits.
They do the work of motorized winches - haul logs, or move stuck tractors, raise towers, and so on - but with the deftness of a human hand.
The vessel to be fitted with winches, derricks, wheels and ordinary runners capable of handling lifts up to 2 tons.
The para-dropping and cargo handling equipment comprises two travelling cranes, two winches, rollgang and tiedown equipment.
Perched at the stern, where she is manning one of the winches used to crank the ropes that control the main sails, Souka looks uneasy.
Their winches have been the gold standard for decades.
