Does this qualify as stuck? I had one heck of a time getting it out. I used the "chain around the tire and tied to a tree" method. I managed to pull the front right tire off the rim in the process..... :ashamed:

****, r4s on there or turf tires? if you had good tires r1/4s and a weight on the back it probably woulda gotten through it before the front sunk down in with the little tires :/

It qualifies more as "Stupid" than stuck.
That was unfair, I should have said "uneducated".

You need to learn to "Read" vegetation.
Mud, muck, swamp, wet areas are very predictable - just don't GO there.

being on an incline like that you were probably puckered up to begin with but did you try walking your self backward with the bucket before you spun your self too deep?

Reg, then maybe you should have backspaced over "stupid" and changed it to "uneducated" prior to posting it.

Thanks for your keen insight on the matter.

It's a little unfair to say "stupid" or "uneducated" when you don't know the facts or terrain. The fact is that someone hand dug a small ditch in an otherwise dry area and didn't tell me about it. We haven't had any rain here in about 3-4 weeks and the area is about as dry as it gets. The situation was further complicated by the fact that the grass was 6+ feet tall and the ditch was shallow and very narrow (more of a swell). Therefore, there was virtually no visible change in the tops of the vegitation. I was slowly backing into the area when the rear tire felt like it hit quicksand with no warning.

Yes, Dan. I tried walking myself backwards. The FEL just pushed me further into the ditch.

I can see how this can happen. When the muck starts loading upn the treads, you're DONE. I was contemplating on buying a CUT this year but soil is so wet here too and wheel loader application would have chewed up my yard. Fortunately my neighbor owns a track loader (Terex) and moved my material with next to no damage, and put my $ in my pocket and payed for his hours.

Ursa Major, That is what narcists do. They have an inordinate fascination with themselves, and they like to put other people down in order to feel better about themselves. ;)
