Not all of us have that second tractor to fall back on. However, you are right; knowing when to stop can make a big difference in retrieval. So far I've always managed to get myself out of any mess I've gotten myself into.![]()
Sure, many don’t have a second tractor. If you don’t, get to know a neighbor who does and offer to help each other. I have found the best retrieval “vehicle” is a backhoe. Not the best traction vehicle for sure, but the backhoe arm with the stabilizers down is simply amazing and it can be quickly driven locally without a trailer. I have one on my bucket list.
Always try to have a backup plan.
