Got my tractor stuck and it didn't get dirty

Just thinking out loud so correct me. Could you have backed off the trailer with just the back tires and had the FEL to support the front. Then back off some more until the front wheels had cleared. Then lift the FEL and drive away? I realize you might scratch up the trailer deck a little and the bottom of the bucket..
Like I said just thinking out loud.

i thought about doing that but was scared that i might hang up the bottom of the tractor the bottom of the ramps (which is the top in the picture) is open
so if i were to back up the tractor the wheels would fall in 3 holes each about 18 to 24" in length. You would have to see it to under stand. i'll take a picture and show ya tomorrow.
i guess i could have put some boards across them. . . didn't think about that

would not worry about scratching the bucket or trailer as i do use my tractor hard and trailer is just that a trailer

do you think if you had of unhooked the tractor and drove it as far forward on the trailer as posible it would have helped? My thinking is it would give the tow rig more traction and take the preasure off of the trailer wheels. Is the spot where you got stuck out in the open where everyone can see you? Drives me nuts knowing people are watching me do stupid stuff.

good idea, didn't think of that. i think i just had tunnel vision. . .i thought that i couldn't get the tractor off so lets start digging.
it was out in the open, my neighbor stop by, he told me "boy that sucks, i'll get the beer" He's a smart man, he never came back i with you about people seeing my screw ups, drives me crazy! !

here's that photo of the ramps, after looking at it again today i don't think it would have worked, the tires would fall in the last square and when i try to go over the last angle it would be to hard to go up it and then slow down before the tractor drops off suddenly. i hope i expland that right
thanks brian

Hey no problem. I see what you are talking about. Seems like there is other ideas that may have worked just as well. My ramps aren't attached and my trailer is lower so I could drive off without too much danger of flipping. Next time just let your wife take care of the matter,

Glad you got your rig out but I like to think outside the box.....I would have unhooked the trailer, driven to the closest dealer and taken a 4wd truck for a test drive. Then after pulling the trailer out with the 4wd tell my wife I need a new truck.
