Got a call that my brother's Rover was helplessly mired in the back pasture... they had tired to move it with the Kubota L3800 and it was quickly becoming stuck... I was able to use the loader to advance the L3800 to solid ground.

The Deere 350 C was parked about 6 months ago and left under a tree... no one knew where the key was at first... anyway... put the key in and it started in an instant... very impressive.

was able to maneuver to about 60' away and as a was traversing, water was squirting up from the gopher holes...

Wasn't sure what to expect and lucky for all of us the dozer did the job... it was like plowing a field... two tracks with the Rover resting on the rails as it was pulled to high ground...

It was at that moment he realized just how handy it is to have an old dozer in the family...

That's good you were able to get everything out without too much trouble. Sounds like it was a good opportunity for some pictures or video.

I smart phone challenged in that I have never had one...

My brother did take some... not sure if he would be willing to share?

He was kind of embarrassed because he has driven over the land often... it's just California has had 3 years of record drought and the last few weeks have set rainfall records...

Personally... I really hate mud... give me the duff from a forest, rock, gravel, etc... just hate mud around the homestead!

I agree on the mud, can't do anything without making a mess and tearing everything up.

Glad you got it out. Having an old around dozer can certainly be handy. In situations like that I always worry what am I going to use if I get the dozer mired :eek: :laughing:
