Winches How to winch 4300?

[jpinca]

I buried my 4300 to both axles in mud and now I need to winch it out. Where is the safest winch points, front and rear? I have a 720 loader attached.

Thanks.

Get a shovel and dig for the rear drawbar. Presumably you drove it forward to where it is now. Pull it out backwards. If it is really planted and you got foolish, you could pull the front axle out from under it by hooking there.

If you search around here a bit you'll find a few getting unstuck tricks. Are you using the front end loader to help, like using the bucket to push it backwards and lifting the front tires up to get some blocking under them?

I agree, the drawbar is the best pulling point.

Pictures and where are you located at? You might be able to get some help from us

You could use the loader to downforce and get the front tires up enough to put wood under them. Also if there is anything solid to anchor to you could use the bucket curl and raise to pull yourself out. That's what I did last time I buried mine.

Not much mud around here this time of year...

I really love you guys that jump in here and join when you get into trouble. You give us nothing to go on and expect us to preform miracles over the net. We work on facts, like are you in the middle of a river, lake, carnberry bog, cow pasture or your septic tank in the back yard. Help us and we can help you better.

I love this forum because members will bring there experience and knowledge to help another member in trouble, but Deerlope, your being a little harsh on ''jpinca'', I think. The guy only ask where was the safest place to hook-up the winch. Jmo.

Septic tank. lol

Reminds of the time I had the trencher going, burying a water line....hit the septic line. All **** broke loose. I had to break out the backhoe and dig a HUGE hole because I broke a "Y" in the line, under a road, right next to the tank.

About the time I've got the hole about 4 feet deep and 10 feet in diameter, my wife pulls up....
