Tractor stuck in field, rite of passage? :)

   / Tractor stuck in field, rite of passage? :) #22  
The rite of passage in our family is when you got your first how to drive a tractor lesson. Usually when tractor A is buried up to the axles in a field. It constituted of a lot of yelling, learning colorful new words and dragging chains. I started "driving" a tractor this way about 6 yrs old, my first truck driving lesson came with my father sitting on the tailgate of the truck trying to find pieces of the manure spreader bed chain.
Knock on wood I haven't been really stuck in a while, not trying to chop corn in the rain with a 2wd tractor is probably why. I remember having a 2nd tractor chained to the first to chop some wet ground with a 3rd on hand to pull out the dump truck.

Yeah, been known to say that a few times in the past.:) Picked up my future bride from school for our first date with a truck COVERED in cow manure. Thought it was mud until I got stuck in the middle of it. Didn't realize it was the farmers manure pit. The the time I was on the CB looking for a tow and I hear from the passenger seat "My feet are getting wet".
Good times!
Picture of that Deere does no justice. Even the bottom plow was buried. I'm assuming Floods came up with one of their monsters.

It happened so often to me last year I was thinking of putting a lifering on my ROPS. If you do get a winch, be sure to get lots of chain and a snatch block. The chain extends your reach, and the snatch block doubles your pull for a few more bucks.

When I owned a Unimog I used it hard and got it stuck real good. This day forever ending the PTO vs electric winch for me. I was able to winch the truck up enough to sponge out the airbox. I estimate 4 ft of water and muck.
