Re: Famous words - it looked firm to me
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  |

Re: Famous words - it looked firm to me
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  |

Re: Famous words - it looked firm to me
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.

Re: Famous words - it looked firm to me
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.
