The 44-tonne truck, carrying timber from north Wales to Birmingham, was jammed for three days in the lane near farm land at Halton, near Wrexham.
The recovery firm described the rescue operation as "painstaking", saying the lack of a firm surface on the road meant the vehicle kept slipping back.
The track had a sign saying it was unfit for heavy goods vehicles.
The lorry's owner, Maxi Haulage of Ayrshire, said it did not fit sat-nav in its vehicles and that the driver had used his own.
Lawrence Griffiths from the recovery firm L&D Brothers in Wrexham said: "There was no tarmac on the road and the road kept giving way.
"Every five foot we gained, we'd start from scratch again where the vehicle would move sideways.
"And then we'd have to block it, chock it, move it, find some solid ground and just carry on."
