Wow. She got her stuck pretty good there. Hope she finds a way to get it out.

yep, gotta get them front wheels up out of the muck.. try to find a big flat piece of plywood, and some good big boards and put under the loader for it to push down on to get those fronts up before you even pull on the rear of the tractor. or if you have enough wood you can put under the front wheels once you get them up. might be able to shove some wood under the backs and get going. If you only had a backhoe on the rear to bring the rears up.

Looks like there is a backhoe on there, should be able to lift the rear enough. Between the front bucket and hoe, it'll come out, just takes some practice!

That is what I was thinking. If that is a backhoe on back you should be able to raise the back. Not sure what your surrounding soil is like but with the loader and backhoe you should be able to raise the whole tractor and swing the back end out to one side. May need some planks as suggested above. Good luck.

I've found using the New Holland to pull the John Deere out of muck works really well. Vice versa. :)

If there is a backhoe on the back and you have some wood or something to push on... that tractor is not stuck! it is just detained!:laughing:

Yea...Yea blame it on the wife trick.:) It looks like you're gonna get some backhoe experience here. If you try to walk it out do it slow, you wouldn't want to make it worse by bending something. Good Luck

And will take some skill to keep from possibly tipping the tractor over - if using both FEL and backhoe to lift the tractor up. Just could make things worse rather than better.

I thought you guys would like those photos. I'm hoping she hasn't done any damage to the tractor. The forks are on I'm hoping she didn't bend those trying to pick up her front end. She placed a firewood round 12"x15" under the SSQA and pushed down on it. The round has disappeared from sight. The backhoe apparently wont pick up the back end?? She says she wants to use the tractor before I get home, so she wants to get it out. I suggested to her get some 4x4 blocking and put a beam across them to put under the forks for lifting up the front end then hopefully she can get some wood under the front tires. Place larger 12"x12" blocks of wood under the outriggers and use the outriggers to help the backhoe pick up the back end. Then Put some wood under the back tires, and drive out. I gave her other options such as wait for our friend to get back Friday(tomorrow) from the slope and he would get her out. Or wait patiently till next thursday for me to come home.

If they are Deere forks, I know they won't bend.
Blocks as she found out just push down into the mud.
Some larger pads like a pallet might be better under the forks.
Still is going to be tricky to get wood packed under the tires as that mud doesn't make it easy at all.
And once the wood is under there, driving off over it may do damage to the "underlings" whereas the mud prolly doesn't.
All to often, it is a wise choice to wait until the mud dries some (if there is any hope for that).
Wish you well, and godspeed getting home to help.
And we did like seeing the photos, but hope to see some of the tractor on the high and dry side - and all safe.

At least the wife had all the fun getting it stuck..
Sorry no pictures ,but Wed this week I was mowing along the main rd in front of my house. The ditch had standing water ,so I thought I could mow and run tires in ditch. I did but forgot about the mmm Buried about 8" of the mower in the mud. I had mud past the plastic belt covers on the 54" deck. A fellow driving down the road pulled me out using his 4x4 truck ,couldn't budge it in 2 wheel drive.
Last night I took the mower off ,cleaned 8 gal of mud out from under the deck... What a mess.. Both front and rear tires were completly covered like yours...
Hope no damage to yours.. have fun !!

This is EXACTLY why I have been falling asleep night after night trying to
figure out how to economically and within reason add a removable winch
to my tractor....It WILL be done.

All I have to say is "that one is a keeper" Any woman that will operate a tractor to that extent and then when it goes bad, actually gets the machine unstuck is definitely a "keeper" Glad to see it all end well.:thumbsup:
