STUCK 790

[creeper]

I didn't want this to be my first pic,but I thought some of you would get a good laugh out of it.I was cleaning out some deris that was holding back the creek and was doing pretty good..... until I went a little too far.I couldn't stop when the front end was stuck, I had too lift myself up and drive on thru! The worst part is a bx had to pull me out and I had to tap dance on all the pedals,but it beets being stuck in the creek. I still got a lot to learn about my limitations. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Creeper:

hahahahahahahaha...ok I'm laughing with you not at you. Me thinks if you check the fine print in the owners manuel...it says "not to be used as a floation device"!

I've been doing the exact same thing, cleaning out a dranage ditch in the back of my property and I haven't yet put the tractor in the ditch. It's still got a foot of water in it with the bottom being nuthing but muck. I got one edge cleaned out and got the fellow next door to bring his backhoe over and scoop it out.

Creeper,

Not trying to be judgmental as I don't know all of the variables to your past situation. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif From looking at the picture, it seems that you could've locked the differential, curled your bucket to full "dump", set the bucket on the ground, and then using rear motion while curling the bucket (in), slowly creeped (pun) out. The bucket would push while your wheels were turning backwards..Did you try that?

Creeper,
Isn't seat time great!
even if you get stuck, you learn lots!

glad everything "came out" okay!

Yes I tried alot more than that before I let that little orange bug pull me out. The problem was the rear wouldnt lift at all so the loader curl was just dead-heading against the creek bank. I had to lock the diff. several times,and alternated on the brake pedal alot. One thing I wasn't aware of is that the front axle is apparently limited slip , I could not get the right front to spin or grab at all.I'm always open to advice from members though, thanks for checkin on me. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

You could have probably used the loader to help pull yourself out.

No way, especially with r-4s, he is against an 18 inch greasy wall with no hard edge to grab and a lot of weight to push if anything he could have made it backing up the bank at a slight angle, the corners of those tires bite the best.

That's what I thought when I first saw the picture. After exhausting all options of going forwards, if I were still mobile, I would have tried to turn it around, lift up the front end with the bucket and tried to back up the hill one tire at a time with diff. lock.

Although, not being there allows us to be arm chair quarterbacks.

I think you did the right thing. Besides everybody's been stuck before and if you haven't then you aren't using your machine /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif. I've had to pull my tractor out of mud with the old man's Massey Ferguson and/or pick up. At least you gave it a valiant effort to get it unstuck. I find that is when I usually learn something new about my tractor.
