Got the backhoe stuck today

[LD1]

Doing some tiling today. Got buried. From the pictures you can see why we are running a tile.

She couldnt walk herself out of this one. Using the hoe and loader to lift, we filled the ruts with some firewood and used the kubota to pull.

That was stuck pretty good. Are you in an old pond bed or just a low area?

 

[LD1]

Just a low wet area. It is about 50 yards from a leaky pond though. You can see the pond bank in the background among all the brush

Was there just not enough "bottom" for the hoe to push down on and lift the tractor?

Yes the hoe would lift the tractor, but as buried as the front was, it still wouldnt push through it.

If it was my hoe I would have used the swing and tried to find firmer footing for the rear axle. But dads 4500 has a swing chain. And he has broke it once doing that a time before.

That's some impressive mud!

That is a fine job of getting stuck.
Well done, my friend!
So you got it out, you say?
Must have been close to some solid ground, cause that that machine is in there.

You need different tires. Slicks are not mud approved!

What he said, Be sure to update your resume, employers are looking for people with that kind of thoroughness
