Screwed up big time :mad

Yep, she is getting power washed on Monday.

Oh brother, that looks stuck real good! Might need a power-washer to jet that guy out of the sand.

Few minutes after it happened, I had already lined up to be pulled on Monday.

This is a good reason to list your location. There might be someone with a bigger tractor reading this just down the road and does not know it who could pull it out in five minutes. When I was growing up we had a 3000 pound ditch witch that we stuck really bad on a regular basis (oilfield work) and often pulled it out with the frontend loader.

Had to catch a flight shortly after this happened.

Yep. My offroad buggy anchored to another vehicle or a tree would winch that right out. No way I'd leave my tractor stuck there.

Yes, air box is above battery, but suction pipe is pointing down and radiator fan is splashing water like crazy not far from air box.

Is starting the tractor not as option and using the FEL to lift the front. The air filter on my tractor is at the top of the engine compartment and the water doesn稚 look much higher than the bottom.

Could you pull the fan belt off and start it?

Probably, but like I said, I had to leave location shortly after this happened.

Could you pull the fan belt off and start it?

Call a wrecker service. Or look for a local Jeep club member with a winch.
If you have a farm jack or two you can use them to pull, push or lift.
Tractor Stuck, How to get it Unstuck. Brilliant! - YouTube

I recall a news story just a few months ago where someone was killed unsticking their tractor using that method.... the log caught them and that was that.

As with anything, things can go wrong, so think it out.

You're making the right call for your situation. Good luck. Hopefully nothing is heavily damaged. :thumbsup:

An excavator will get it out without issue. I wouldn't think twice about getting it out with my mini ex. He will dig around with the bucket and pull the mud back to break the suction then pull it free fairly easily. It is a good safe way to remove it without worrying about causing damage to the tractor.

I have a large cylinder with about a five foot stroke with shackles at each end. Great for helping yourself out of a stuck situation, provided you have something to hook onto to.

I am always amazed that more tractors don't getted pulled apart, seeing Youtube videos of several rescue vehicles chained in tandem.
