Famous words - it looked firm to me

Yesterday got tractor stuck while cutting grass

I tried to pull it out with my CJ7, but it made no difference, except for some deep trenches dug by jeep tires It was time to get out the high lift jack and some boards

Looking better, but the jeep still could not move it an inch.

As always, the supervisor was of absolutely no help

One more wheel up and supported:

After this I left the tractor slowly spinning wheels in reverse - HST - and gave it a tug with the jeep and out it came all muddy and dirty. Stopped the tractor, coiled the rope and checked for damage. Nothing broken, just another day for redneck wannabe
I reckon doing it all alone with nobody near and no cell phone to call the cavalry I was pushing it, but I was extra careful, really

And the battlefield does not even look much impressive

heh heh, been there 'n done that.

Bet you had yourself a good time gettin' nice and muddy, prolly much dirtier yourself than your 'Bota!

I got stuck once where I couldn't push myself out with the FEL. Tried pulling with the truck but was just digging more holes. No one else around to operate the truck or tractor. Once I had the truck nicely dug in it made a great anchor so I was able to pull the tractor out with a come-a-long using the truck as an anchor point. The truck was then able to get itself out. I hardly got wet/dirty at all. No pictures though, maybe next time.

It's that time of the year...

Stuck my BX a couple weeks ago. It was getting dark, and I couldn't "read" ground conditions very well. Fortunately I was in TLB mode, so I could "crab" it out.
