I have the remedy for getting unstuck: make sure you always own a smaller tractor than your father in-law /w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif. I got my B2150DT with FEL stuck near a creek on his property. I just went back to the house and we both went back with a chain and his old Massey with FEL. He did have to use his FEL because the Massey is not "dual traction".
did you read this post at all? (I'm sure you did, it was probably the second longest thread- OK, maybe not). I used a program named "unFREEz" to animated a series of gif files. It's an extremely small program. I can e-mail it to you if you'd like. I downloaded it from cNet (I think). Just do search for "animated gifs" and "freeware". Some people tend not to like the animated gifs for slow download reasons, but the text of a thread will show up before the pictures, so they can read while it downloads. If they finish reading before it downloads, they can just hit the "back" button. Also, I did not upload my animated gif to TBN. I just linked to it. I am hosting it myself, so it shouldn't take space on the TBN server(s).
Everyone, please elaborate if I am totally wrong /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif.
BTW, John, I sure do like your name /w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif.
