Well I was watching the shredder tires and usually when I started seeing them get wet thats were I stopped the back tires well before I knew it spun alittle in reverse so I put in forward well thats were the picture was taken.Wouldnt move any, the jack on the shredder would have just sank in the mud,it was funny to my father-in-law cause when I left the house my last words to him was"Heck I got 4x4":laughing:Later I find out every tractor that has been down there has been stuck.

I've been in that situation numerous times. First bet is to try walking it out with the loader bucket while very very slowly spinning the tires (so as not to slick them up too much.) If that doesn't work, pick a gear high enough to really spin the tires to get them to clean out, full throttle and dump the clutch. If you have enough power to really spin them you can often either paddle your way out, or dig down to something solid (or really bury it.) Once I've exhausted all those options and am firmly on the axles I go looking for something big to pull me out, lol.

That's great that your friendliest neighbor :thumbsup: got you out is short order. I have only been stuck once, I can tell you it was sure unexpected. Used the backhoe and stabilizers to lift the back of the tractor to get some boards underneath the back wheels. :)

You won't draw the babes until you step out from behind the hand cleaner. :laughing: Besides, they love the shiny reflections all that wax makes in the sunlight.

Made me think of a question for you guys.

How does one repay such a favor when one has the smaller tractor? I mean I'm on the fence about whether I could have pulled him out if the shoe had been on the other foot.

Tried several times going over to help when I see he's working on something, but what always happens is he quits working, feeds me, and starts talking about when he can come over to help me buck up the big Pecan that fell over a couple months ago or something else that we need to do on my property. He's out favoring me!

Just pay it forward. I bet that's what he'd like to think his helping out does.
