What to do with the swampland?

Unfortunately, today's plan to move the sculpture further onto the bog did not work out as planned.


In other news, I've just recently learned my bog is at least three feet deep about 15' in! #tractorstuck

I do like the artwork you have stuck in the swamp.

I do like the artwork you have stuck in the swamp.

I got my not-ready-to-run-in-winter-again, Payloader running, and with the help pf a buddy who is an experienced equipment handler but had never run anything that could deadlift two of his 110hp backhoes, let alone four of my tractors all ballasted out and amusement happened.

Thankfully I got everything on video, from getting stuck to pulling it out, so I'm editing my Christmas stuck video right now!

I was in the tractor when this happened! LOL

lol ... swamps take a long time to freeze I am actually surprised you got that far.

Getting out of muck can be quite challenging....good you got it out.

Now that we all know how good the tractor looks in the swamp, it might be time to create a much bigger dinosaur that's about to eat your tractor!!!

Holy moley! As Ice Cube would say, "Took another sip of the potion, hit the three-wheel motion."

All I can do is laugh at myself. My brother tells me, "Everybody knows the swamp doesn't freeze!"

"Wait, who is everybody? I didn't know," I share, "There was at least 6" of ice, and the bog seemed frozen when I walked on it."

Anyway, the story keeps breaking bad: the front 10x16.5 tire got torn up and my driveway is now covered in sticky, unfreezing Beet Juice. Neat.

Either way, yesterday's tractor drama is now my YouTube channel's Christmas video. Enjoy my bad decisions, or as the joke goes, "What do you do on Youtube?"

"Well, I'm kind of an idiot."

Smile.

Thumbs up and throw mud in the comments if I made you laugh while watching.

Merry Christmas!

I would freeze eventually, you need to pack a trail down wider than your tractor to compact the snow and cat tails down and let it sit for a while with a good stretch of cold weather if it snowed then you have to pack it down again if you have a few days above 32 degrees Fahrenheit you would have to wait some more... for a tractor that size you probably need 12'' of ice to support it.
