Now What ?

Well, I pushed it a little too far. May have to hire a dozier.
Although if I could walk I'd use chains and trees with the loader to get the tractor out.
At this point I have the shredder disconnected. If and when I get the tractor out I will then worry bout getting the shredder out.
I need to put out a round bale of hay out tomorrow. I guess I'll have to ask for a favor from a neighbor.

Oh wow, you really boned yourself, didn't you?

Don't get me wrong, you've got my sympathies, but I can feel in my bones just how much of a PITA that's going to be to get out.

ouch..... would your fenders allow for this "old school" fix?

many a 2wd tractor has been able to walk themselves out of swamps. I wouldn't use trees as long as this guy did and ratchet straps versus chains is a modern day quick improvement over chains. Slow and steady for safety.

good luck!

I did the same thing last year. Got a neighbor with his tractor to try and pull me out, he got stuck too.
He called his wife to bring a 140HP 4x4 Case tractor and 100 ft chain. Pulled both of us out at the same time.
I'm still finding mud (clay) in the frame.

Any chance of the ground drying out in a few days? Our ground is drying pretty quickly with the wind and sunshine in Middle Tennessee.

I always try to look at the positive side of things. But when I get stuck, that view goes away.

An update, just so y'all will have a better picture. My main drawback is that I am not able to walk hardly at all. I use a walker in the house and a handicap scooter outside. If I could walk and breathe (27 years ago) I would spend a day, but it would come out.

Will work.

The fenders on a 5145 Mahindra will not allow this.
