Helping out an orange neighbor

[workmytractor]

Boy...that is a big cheese eating on your face in the last photo. My Uncle had to come pull me out of my pond the other day...he has a green tractor and mine is orange... he had that same cheese eating the whole time.

I wasn't stuck...but I was about to fall in the pond. Everytime I moved it slide farther and farther in.

I am still waiting on the day I have to come pull him out, but I will have my camera

He could have gotten out if he knew how to use the FEL to push as he went in reverse. Do it all the time here, getting stuck is part of owning a tractor! You can get out with the FEL and even the BH.

Maybe?
I have been stuck in our manure pile plenty of times, not a fast learner. It always seems dry and firm but yet the closer you get to ground level the more you realize that there is no bottom (usually too late), just really soft manure that goes down forever. Still beats a shovel!

It is a good day when you can help out a neighbor.

I've had a 10,000 lb tractor stuck in a manure pile. Not fun. The more you thrash the deeper you go!

This was actually the first thing I tried. Unfortunately, the poor little Kubota (ahem) didn't have enough power in the FEL to lift the front end of the tractor, nor did it have the power to push or pull. I think the key here is knowing when it's time to get out. Once you're in that deep, it's way too late.

We all have had our days. My worse one (by far) was when I was a teenager on my grandparent's farm. I was doing some work with an older ford industrial loader when I got it stuck, so my grandfather tried pulling me out with a belarus farm tractor, which then got stuck. So we then went and got the payloader which proceeded to get stuck, but in the end the TD15 dozer they also had had no problems getting them all out. You just need to have an arsenal if you want to fight a war

For some reason I keep thinking Biff in Back To The Future.



My dad and I have ribbed each other over trucks for decades. He's a Chevy man and I've owned nothing but Fords. One day I was cutting across a sloppy field in my F-250 when one of the front auto-lockers failed. Dad pulled me out with his Chevy. I have NEVER lived that moment down. I installed manual hub lockers the next week. That ain't gonna happen to me again!!!

Never seen a better looking JD than the one that pulled my Orange out of a bog with boom mower on it. If you are in a real bind a pink tractor would look good if it gets you out.


ME83, know the feeling. Thankfully I was smart enough to stop with just the second one bogged.

Then there was the wrecker when NO ONE I knew with a tractor could be found. Boy those side mounted cutters are tough with right rear wheel in soft dirt.
