JD 3520 Stuck in Muddy Creek Crossing (video)

[Thowle]

Figured you all might enjoy watching some of this. Was stuck trying to get back to the dry side of a "island" type area between creeks for mowing.

You are torturing that poor little thing! You won't be getting a Christmas card from the property owner.

Tractor is all doing good! It's for sure getting a workout on this project! That was an intense little ordeal! Was about to storm, which ended up laying down more than an inch! Area was about 5 miles away from the nearest road through the woods!

Looks to me like you just needed a little momentum to get up that hill. Trying to creep thru mud and climbing a muddy hill with R4 tires just don't work. Raising the bush hog off the ground would have helped a lot too.

I thought you had the right idea at first, back dragging material into the soft areas causing you trouble. It just seemed you weren't dragging back far enough to fully fill in where your rears were digging.

Wow, you are braver than I am for trying to drive through that with an MX6 hanging on the back! But when you got a job to do, I guess... :thumbsup:

I noticed several times when attempting to back up the bank where the mower wasn't raised and the front tires were fully turned. Seemed unusual to me.
