Here is one I had to step up to get out. I was glad that the silt was dry enough on top to walk on!

We're you able to push out? I used to think that as long as I have hydraulics I ain't stuck. Several years ago a Case 580 made a lair out of me!

Some of you guys have stuck down to an art... I need to show these to the Wife, as she HATES IT when she has to help me get UNSTUCK. I don't have a pro on staff anymore, as my little girl is all GROWNED UP.

I'm not looking forward to my Butterbean being all grown up Sandman. I tie bricks to her head every morning in hopes she stays little

I'm scared daddy won't be so cool to be around in a few years.

Oh don't worry, they bring home their laundry and their troubles until they are about thirty or so!!. I had to go five miles through a good old fashioned mud season road this morning to twitch the two PHDs out of the slimy parking lot they couldn't get out of without Dads help.

They do grow up and it is hard on a dad - but raise them right and they will make you proud! My daughters are 24 and 20, my son is 23. They are good people and I am sure your young daughter will be too! Take her with you now and she will be with you from now on!

I'm just glad that your niece was there to help out. I'm hoping that you treated her to some ice cream or something.

She's my daughter, and she was treated to some fresh picked strawberries and a well deserved nap.

Yep, got it's self out!

I crawled back in, turned the back wheels away from the silt, tilted the bucket down, put the boom down, raising the front wheels, put it in reverse, mashed the go pedal, wheels didn't even try to turn, thought something broke, so I extended the boom and slid The Versahandler back, got out and took the picture.

When I got back in, I noticed the silt had the brake pedal pushed down! Put both toes under the pedal and pulled it up, raised and retracted the boom, lowered the boom and pushed back again, Front wheels down on solid clay.
