Got the tractor stuck...

[IronHog]

All I know is my neighbors come to me (DK45S) when things get stuck and their farm tractors (one a Massey-Ferguson 135 and the other a 235) aren't up to the task. One time it was a school bus with flat tires and the another time it was a dump truck that couldn't get back up the hill.

We have a 135 ferguson.


Nothing like the machines I'm talking about...........

Getting stuck is just part of the learning curve..

I used to get mine stuck regularly. My wife has pulled me out with our jeeps and 4x pickups. One time I had to get my neighbor and his tractor.

Nowadays, if I think I'll get stuck, I'll wait for it to dry more. Last time, I had my flail mower mounted and my backend slid into the fence at the near bottom of the hill. my wife still gives me grief over that one.

Wish I had the pics for this, but somehow they got deleted. I have a neighbor that bought a used dozer a couple months ago. It is a Cat, but built for the navy, single ram 4 way on front, I think it is probably a track loader, but what do I know. Forget the number, but neighbor says it is about size of a D7. It is tall! He hired a couple of experienced guys to do some clearing with it while he was on the mainland for business. For reasons unknown these guys take the dozer toward one of the streams on the property. Oh, Btw, this is still rainy season. So these guys get the dozer stuck and have to abandon it about 2 weeks ago. This past weekend my neighbor invited a few of us over for a look-see, hoping we might come up with a plan. This dozer is sitting at the bottom of a fairly steep, muddy hill. Dozer sits at an angle with the right rear track submerged in muck upto to bottom of the engine compartment. <SNIP>.... this weighs 44,000 lbs.

I have some thoughts on the dozer and freeing it before the next millennium, but first I need some more info on how and why it is where it is- stuck.
Where in heck is that thing? What was the OP trying to do with it?
How long has it been like that?
What access is available to bring in some equip. with some serious winches, etc.?
What is the value of the machine sitting on dry land?
