DITCH
RECOVERY
Saskatchewan roads don't forgive. Black ice on Highway 11, soft shoulders on grid roads, mud season that swallows trucks whole. When you end up in the ditch, Bro's Tows has the winch power and the prairie know-how to get you out — 24/7, 365 days a year.
BUILT FOR SASKATCHEWAN DITCHES
Ditch recovery is different from a standard tow. You can't just hook up and pull — the angle, the depth, the soil conditions, and the weight of the vehicle all matter. Do it wrong and you damage the vehicle, the ditch, or both.
We've been pulling vehicles out of Saskatchewan ditches for 13 years. We know that Highway 12 shoulders wash out every spring. We know the grid roads north of Blaine Lake turn to clay soup in April. We know that the ditches alongHighway 16 west of Saskatoon are deeper than they look.
Our winch trucks are equipped for the worst-case scenario — deep ditches, steep banks, heavy loads, frozen ground. We assess the situation, rig the right approach, and get you out safely. No guessing, no dragging, no extra damage. For typical pricing on a ditch pull versus a standard tow, see our Saskatchewan towing rates breakdown.
WHAT WE RECOVER
Black Ice & Winter Slide-Offs
Saskatchewan highways ice over fast. We recover vehicles that have slid off Highway 11, Highway 16, Highway 12, and every rural road in between — day or night, blizzard or not.
Spring Mud & Soft Grid Roads
When the frost comes out, grid roads turn to soup. Trucks, SUVs, and farm equipment sink in fast. Our winch trucks have the power to pull you out without making it worse.
Rolled or Overturned Vehicles
Rolled into the ditch on a curve? We have the heavy-duty rigging to safely upright and recover vehicles of all sizes — cars, trucks, and SUVs.
Farm Equipment Recovery
Tractors, combines, and implements stuck in fields or ditches. We understand the urgency during seeding and harvest — we don't make you wait.
Semi & Commercial Recovery
Loaded semis, grain trucks, and commercial vehicles that have left the road. We have the equipment and experience to recover heavy loads safely.
Deep Ditch Winching
Some ditches in Saskatchewan are 6 feet deep with steep banks. Standard tow trucks can't reach. Our winch trucks are built for the worst prairie ditches.
STUCK IN A DITCH? HERE'S WHAT TO DO.
Stay safe
Turn on your hazard lights. If it's dark or visibility is poor, stay in your vehicle with your seatbelt on. Don't stand on the road.
Note your location
Look for a highway number, grid road intersection, or nearby landmark. Check Google Maps on your phone for a pin you can share.

Don't try to drive out
Spinning your wheels digs you deeper and can cause drivetrain damage. Let our winch do the work — that's what it's built for.
