/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Got the garden tractor out to do the mowing close to objects, like a drainage ditch.
/w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif Got the garden tractor stuck on the bank of the drainage ditch.
/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif No problem, get the TC25D out to pull the garden tractor out of the mud.
/w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif Started up the corridor of grass (between a fence and the drainage ditch), got stuck. No problem, put her in 4WD. No help. Lock differential. Still stuck.
/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Get the 4WD pickup out, and the tow strap. Hook the tow strap to the draw bar on the tractor and the tow hook on the front of the truck. Gently back up.
/w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif Tractor starts to tilt to the left, into the ditch. This isn't going to work pulling straight back.
/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Relocate truck so it's at a 45 degree angle to the tractor. Gently back up on my stone driveway at the barn.
/w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif Both rear wheels begin to spin. Put in 4WD Lo.
/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Finally, get the TC25D unstuck. Fill in the marks made by the spinning tires.
/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Get garden tractor unstuck by pulling it through the ditch (banks are gently sloped) onto the street, leaving nice muddy tracks.
/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Put truck away. Finish cutting grass.
/w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif One of them days.
