Stuck, really stuck

And for everyone else waiting on pictures. The rain came through Sunday and fortunately I managed to backfill the spring I dug on Saturday so it didn’t go submarine. In fact it looks like the rain managed to wash out most of the soft stuff.

My wife got down today to check on it - I will have to wait until Saturday to get the winch and snatchblocks down…View attachment 4044142
Is the ground to left to soft for backhoe to lift the left rear up out of the muck? Presume yes but hard to tell from picture.

Any concerns about it rolling over as it gets extracted? Looks like it will right itself as it is pulled out.

Can't you put down the outrigger to help straighten things up?

Don't you have a friend with a drag line?

Kind of read most of your predicament, your stuck in a wooded area, correct? You have lots of hydraulic operated equipment on the tractor itself, I'm I missing something? Why can't you build up the soft ground under these hydraulic attachments with logs so either your fel, bh, or bh stabilizers will lift the wheels enough to put wood under them? My methods worked for me in the past it requires some manual labor and a chain saw but at least you don't have to shovel mud much, if at all, plus you don't have to worry as much about damaging tractor or vehicle with winch, if trying to break it loose to pull it out.

I’ve done it before. Buried many to the floorboard. The worst part is getting other vehicles stuck trying to pull em out. Truck, truck, tractor, dozer…finally pulled em all out with a combine.
Snatch block works well. Make sure to put something over the connection point to help prevent SnapBack. You don’t want to send a hook through an headlight, your windshield [or worse]. Good luck and keep us posted. Share some photos of your adventure.

Nice suggest of putting something over the connection point.

Digging a watering hole for deer (low lying land, water table is just six or so feet down). Going great, hit the water - now to clean up the dug out slop. That’s where the “fun” started. Using the bucket to smooth it out and 1.5’ from the hole was too close, all tires stuck and just a bit of spin and I slide backwards/left into the hole. Three tires are out of the hole - but rear left and the backhoe are in the hole. LS 342 shuttle shift

Tried hooking a chain to my 2500 Cummins but couldn’t get enough traction.

Debating whether my 12k warn and a snatch block will do it. Oh! And now it’s raining so move quick before half the tractor starts practicing to work as a submarine… 🤦‍♂️

The only people who don’t make mistakes are the people who don’t do anything. I hope both your pride and your tractor experiences a speedy recovery.

you can't pull it out using the backhoe & loader?
