how do you get a tractor unstuck?

[teach]

HowardX,
I too got my new Kubota stuck within a few hours of taking delivery last week! We have had a great deal of rain in Little Rhody, and the rye piece in the back of my property was soup! I tried to take my B7100 with turf tires through this area. 1/2 way through and I just starting spinning, even with 4wd and rear dif. locked. The FEL couldn't reach down far enough to solid ground to help. I ended getting out by using the ramps that I use to load the tractor on the trailer. In fact, I did this when my brother got his Kubota B9200 stuck a few months ago too. Just try putting the ramps under the front or rear tires (depending on which way you need to go) and you should pop right out depending on how deep you are. You might also consider using a portable power winch that runs off of your vehicle's battery and uses a remote in/out power switch, they can be had for a few hundred bucks, depending on how much power you need. We use to take one of these to deer camp in Vermont and once I pulled a Jeep Cherokee out of a drainage ditch, sideways, up a three foot incline, in about 2' of snow, back onto the road. Snow...I think I remember what that stuff looks like!

I've had my BX24 stuck twice. Both times I used the FEL and BH to pull myself out. The BH will do wonders to help pull you out, used in conjuction with the tractors own driveline power. It's not that hard but you need to syncronize movements for it to work.

I lucked out at a yard sale and got 50' of log chain with 2 hooks for $10. So far I have got the 23 stuck twice (almost year apart same spot) But with that much chain the suburban can stay on the good dirt and just pull.

Please keep in mind when towing it out, not to tie the chain to any implement BH or FEL. For me, I've put a small D hook to the frame.

I had my new bx24 less than 2 hrs. before i managed to get it stuck! I was aware of the differential lock, but it didn't matter. I guess there are some wet places a bx just shouldn't go. Oh well..I backed my SUV up to the stuck tractor , at a safe distance, I thought. And managed to get the SUV stuck trying to pull out my tractor!! Having 2 brand new vehicles stuck in my back yard was humilating to say the least. Not one to give up easily, i went to TSC and got some more tow rope and a 4000 lb. comealong. So anchoring the comealong to my stuck SUv, i managed to winch my tractor out a little at a time. I then moved my tractor to the front of my Suv, attached the comealong to the tractor hitch,set the parking brake, and winched my Suv out. All together, an all day event, and some sore arms to boot!!!
How would you guys do this if it happenned to you? It was too embarassing to get a neighbor to help, at least for me.

Niether me nor my neighbor wanted any evidence
We were working down by the creek that runs behind both our properties.
I got stuck in a boggy spot, all 4 tires spinning, backhoe and fel failed to budge it. I thought it wouldn't be much of a problem the neighbor is working about a 100 yards away, I will go get him to pull me out with his slightly larger JD. I got over to where he was working and found him stuck nose down in a ravine. He got his old toyota to pull me out but we couln't get the truck close enough to his tractor and mine wouldn't get enough traction to pull his out so we got an old chain come along from his fence kit and did it the hard way.

You'll always get stuck when you least expect it. Having a backhoe is a great thing to get you unstuck. Unfortunately I don't have one. But I haven't gotten the new tractor stuck. YET!..
