Took some 2 x 8s and put them under the tires after I dug out behind the tires and lifted up the tractor with the FEL on one end and a HighLift on the other (one end at a time). Then, and this is the embarrassing part, I engaged the front wheels and backed out. Took about an hour or so. I probably still would have gotten stuck with the front wheels engaged at the start; it was really soupy.

EdC: Good job getting unstuck :D! You should invest in a come-a-long. They come in handy with a lot of "projects". I suspect you would have gotten stuck even better if you had been in 4WD initially. The last time I got stuck I was in 2WD. Fortunately I was only stuck in 2WD; 4WD got me out. I also want you to know that
R-1's "goo" forward in deep mud a lot better than they go in reverse :mad:. You can imagine how I discovered that reality :(. Each time I get stuck I do it more "creatively" :rolleyes:. Jay

you know........ it's absolutely necessary for all new members to post pictures of their stuck machine. there is nothing we love more than to see pics of someone else's tractor stuck, especially when it's brand new!

This was 2 days after I bought it. Pulled it out with the wife's help. She pulled with the truck and it got stuck. Had to dig out the wheels on the truck so I could back it out of it's ruts to loosen the tow strap. Then, once out of the ruts, pulled again. A slight "snatch" and the little Kubota came out. Needless to say, I won't go back into that area until summer, when it dries out some. My wife looked out the window and saw me stuck, couldn't wait to get pics of the debacle.
