My Stupid Problem

[lostcreekranch]

DT86;

Good luck trying to steal your own thread back. Great ingenuity getting your tractor, cutter, and yourself out safely.

Thanks for sharing.

Glad you got her out.

No, actually I didn't ask for advice.

I'm not being critical, but your first post could have been mistaken as seeking advice. You ended with:

"So here is my stupid problem. What we have is a sink hole 12 or so feet deep with an opening about 5'x8' and nearly vertical sides. It opens up on one side and goes much deeper UNDER the tractor."

I can see how someone would pass along an idea, because that was how you left it....didn't say anything about having a plan, etc.

Glad you got it out!

Fair enough. I hadn't seen it that way until you mentioned it. I did read and ponder all the thoughts and suggestions.

So you have any better pics of the hole?

Well, I ruffled a few feathers ! But when it's all said and done the ( farmer who provided the help ) 1st advised him to drive it out , So did I. Then suggested disconnecting the mower and driving the tractor out and used chains to move the mower again so did I , So to the few who didn't like that I was right ,Have a nice day !

Well, I ruffled a few feathers ! But when it's all said and done the ( farmer who provided the help ) 1st advised him to drive it out , So did I.

And he obliviously tried that first based on the ruts in this picture and this one...

Then suggested disconnecting the mower and driving the tractor out and used chains to move the mower again so did I , So to the few who didn't like that I was right ,Have a nice day !

Careful, dont want to dislocate your shoulder by patting yourself on the back... About your suggestions though, you posted:

After looking at the pictures as best as I could why not drop the mower where it sits and turn the tractor around and use the loader to lift and pull it out ? ????? 1 20 foot chain and 5 minutes and your done !!!

Ok so wouldn't the best idea be to risk the mower and save the tractor by unhitching it and pulling far foward then take a 20 foot chain and just drag the mower away from the hole ??? Short of getting a helicopter and lifting straight up thats pretty much your option ??? Isn't it ???

Those your your chain related suggestions, neither of which involved using 2 loaders to lift and rotate the mower.
As wet as things look (especially here), a straight pull with a 20' chain would have just made more ruts. It needed to be lifted from both sides and moved at the same time or it would have slide sideways into the hole.
