Now What ?

[Bentrim]

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!

Notice how the tractor tried to roll over backwards? Not a safe way to get the tractor out, at least going forward.

I think @tradosaurus lives up that way somewhere. Always good to know someone who you can contact for advice or a tow.

of course its wickedly dangerous.... we can note that there is not much in life thats not dangerous when undertaken by the foolish or done without due care and caution.

cheers

I agree with many here. I prefer to be professionally stuck when stuck! No sense in doing anything halfway!

 

[confederatemule]

Have you tried working your self out with the bucket? It does appear to be sunk that deep. If it's a traction issue; you might be able to push your self backward with the loader/bucket.

Yes, Sir, I did.

Excellent work!

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.

From the picture, I can't get the nitty gritty detail of how bad this is, I did similar while having my home built a few years ago and we had a lot of rain that year. Fortunately a big Cat track steer was on the property and he pulled me out.

My brother in law got stuck and used logs on his tires like this, said it worked great.

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.

I got stuck. I drove across this two days before pulling 14’ stock trailer with wild hogs in it I had trapped. But with box blade on the back it dug in and sank it quick. I finally pulled truck around to the front of tractor, couldn’t pull it out backward. I used 60’ of chain, hooked to trailer bal on truck, tilted bucket over all the way, hooked chain to it and then curled bucket opposite. Moving 6” every time and about 4 hours later I got it out, only knocked one front tire off bead. My tractor starts right up when cold but once I run it for a while if I shut it off it will not start. I also am still finding dirt, I am going to start by taking all the electrical connections off the starter and battery and clean really good and see if that will fix that, along with pressure washing again under the bottom. Tractor does not over heat, something up with starter or battery.

Well, since we're posting pictures, lol...



I used to get my 1025R stuck all the time before I swapped my R4 tires for R14's, after that I got stuck once before selling the tractor for something larger. The 3rd photo has the R14's, but the box blade had sunk into the ground and dug in. I had to remove the blade and skull drag it away from the tractor, then I basically drove it out. I loved the Deere, but with this wet property when it sank, it SANK.

I've yet to sink the Kioti, but when I do it's going to be a bear to get out.

Don’t know where you are but if close to East Texas I will load up and come help you. Surely a neighbor that has a tractor would be willing to help. I have pulled several of my neighbors out over the years.

Don't know him, don't know where he lives, doesn't seem you've have much contact with him on the Forum, but first thought, first inclination was "have tractor will help" - very nice to see there are a few like you still around - don't know you, but thanks........

In another post I suggested a method that has worked for me to get my tractor free from being stuck. The moderator did not approve it as far as I know, but in this thread it allowed an unsafe method . The logs tied to the rear wheels.

mini escavator would have no problem getting you and your shredder out

If you know anyone with a small backhoe they can get you out. If your ground is firm enough. They plant the backhoe and stretch out the boom and it will pull it out. Or a dozer

I have a friend who was a combat engineer in Viet Nam. Occasionally a tank would get stuck in the mud,, buried up to the flat bottom pan. His methods of getting them out was to push a small block of C4 under the middle of the tank. Told the driver that when he heard the BANG to floor it and usually they could drive it out. No sure how good that would work on a tractor

That'd do it! Bet it felt like the inside of a ringing bell in one of those old Patton's.

 

[glachner]

Progress, indeed.

Good to see you've got someone helping you out; sometimes we all need to reach out to a friend.

I bet you'll be happy when you can get back on that big red Mahindra.

Yep! My country area is being turned into a country club. Not what I was expecting when we moved.

Ayuh, we're seeing that all over, like a rural gentrification.
