Dirt Moving I got my CK2610 Stuck in Central Texas Mud

[CPTKILLER]

I managed to get my CK2619 stuck moving dirt to repair a small pond. It was a mess.

I tried a variety of things to get out. I am former military and have some experience get various types of vehicles out of bad situations. However then, there is usually a crew and back-up team with wreckers or recovery vehicles. In my situation, until my wife gets here, it was me and three dogs.

I used the bucket and managed to get out after spending most of the day with a stuck tractor. I was covered from head to toe in mud.

The technique that I used wwas somewhat similar that I have seen guys do with backhoes and trackhoes.

R4 tires back up pretty easy in that kind of mud. I stuck my CK30hst once with all four tires down in but luckily had the backhoe on. FEL down to make a sled and lift the front while the bh moved the rear up and sideways a little then drug myself out. I have since learned the feel of the tractor and when it's the right time to stop and back out. Bigger rocks seem to work better than logs unless that was for leverage. I hope your dogs pitched in to help.

The dogs were essentially pasture superintendants and seemed to have fun watching me get dirty, lol.

I enjoyed your post and your photo's, but I have to ask, no malice intended. Just where in he77 were you going? That area was far to muddy to be operating a tractor in.

That's good and stuck!

I found a spring with the Ford a few weeks back. Driving along the bottom and all the sudden it sank up to the axles! There wasn't one there before. :confused3:
