Thanks for the advice gentlemen, I'm always interested in learning stuff, but for this one I'm going to get the help of my neighbor and his big ol' JD. I'm convinced that he LOVES pulling me out of the mud. I'm sure of it. :)

I have a neighbor like you he thinks his track bobcat will go anywhere, I usually end up with my winch & about 200'+ of cable & doubling blocks to get it out. Next time I will bring the camera as he is do to call again. It always make me laugh & he keeps my cooler full, & never heistates to give me a hand which is worth more than $.

Keep having fun your neighbor needs something to talk about.

A friend from another forum had a friend die when his tractor flipped over using the method from the YouTube video.

That is the reason for premising the technique on driving backwards.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone got seriously hurt or killed trying that. I'd never try it without competent help.

If I didn't have a helpful neighbor, I'd do like Torin suggested and get that boxblade off first.. though a helper with something real big would be better than given myself a heart attack dragging 50-80 feet of chain, or a bunch of HD cable and a 3 ton come-along..;)

Have you gotten the tractor out yet?

Sure did, thank you.

My buddy came over with his big green tractor and mostly pulled me out. He couldn't get closer than about 50 feet and he only had a light chain that long. He got me out most of the way and then broke the chain. The rear wheels were out far enough that I put a few logs under the bucket and inched myself out.
