It Ain\'t Really Four Wheel Drive!
I stuck my B2710 for about the 7th time today. This time I was not only stuck in the mud, but with the brush hog tied on, I was wedged in the swail of my creek bed. A foot or so of dirt washed out so it was deeper than I expected.
While I was trying to figure out a way to get it out, I took the time to cuss Kubota for putting that "4WD" sticker on the back. This thing, and most tractors, are NOT 4WD, as all of you know. Its really 2WD, and maybe 3 when the foot is on the differential lock.
Boy, I coulda used real 4WD today......
I had to dig with a shovel where the bush hog was wedged in there, and the wife had to pull me out with my Ford pickup (2WD) while I pushed back with the FEL. No FEL and I'd still be in there.
Since I was in the creek, I had to drive on terrain that none of our vehicles had ever been on. My wife's Yukon XL is 4WD (well, you know....) but I didn't want to scratch it up and get thorns in the tires, so it was my old truck or nothing. Fortunately we got it out after about an hour.
