Now What ?

[confederatemule]

Well, I pushed it a little too far. May have to hire a dozier.
Although if I could walk I'd use chains and trees with the loader to get the tractor out.
At this point I have the shredder disconnected. If and when I get the tractor out I will then worry bout getting the shredder out.
I need to put out a round bale of hay out tomorrow. I guess I'll have to ask for a favor from a neighbor.

Oh wow, you really boned yourself, didn't you?

 

[tacticalturnip]

Don't get me wrong, you've got my sympathies, but I can feel in my bones just how much of a PITA that's going to be to get out.

 

[MapleLeafFarmer]

ouch..... would your fenders allow for this "old school" fix?

many a 2wd tractor has been able to walk themselves out of swamps. I wouldn't use trees as long as this guy did and ratchet straps versus chains is a modern day quick improvement over chains. Slow and steady for safety.

good luck!

I did the same thing last year. Got a neighbor with his tractor to try and pull me out, he got stuck too.
He called his wife to bring a 140HP 4x4 Case tractor and 100 ft chain. Pulled both of us out at the same time.
I'm still finding mud (clay) in the frame.

Any chance of the ground drying out in a few days? Our ground is drying pretty quickly with the wind and sunshine in Middle Tennessee.

I always try to look at the positive side of things. But when I get stuck, that view goes away.

An update, just so y'all will have a better picture. My main drawback is that I am not able to walk hardly at all. I use a walker in the house and a handicap scooter outside. If I could walk and breathe (27 years ago) I would spend a day, but it would come out.

Will work.

The fenders on a 5145 Mahindra will not allow this.

good luck..... luckily it looks like you are not too deep as I can see bottom of your rims on front tires and maybe a little deeper in the back.

If me I would use my 8k electric winch on a F150 with a snatch block and with the tractor in 4wd you should be able to get out. Or my logging winch. A small tow truck would do as well. Hopefully someone not too far from you has similar equipment. I think even another tractor and a good tow strap might work.

Doesn't look like a dozer would be needed.

keeping fingers crossed for you.

Neighbor with a tractor and maybe drier conditions seem like best option if possible.

That kind of reminds me of my mom. She's 89 yoa and still living on 40 acres. I'm too far away to mow her 3 acres of lawn. I do manage to keep her mower going. It's kind of hard to do since she can't see so good and has run into trees. She is in relatively good health though and gets around good, probably will go another 10 or 15 years and does not want to move to a smaller place. She has finally started looking though.

Does the scooter have a differential lock?

I kid, again; if I had real advice I'd be happy to offer it, but unfortunately all I've got is jokes.

If I can make you laugh, however, I've done my job.

 

[crashz]

Mule, how did you get out of there? Looks like deep mud and tangling brush. Tough walking for anyone, much less for someone that has leg issues.

 

[2manyrocks]

Maybe the neighbor could help by getting on the tractor to drive it out if the ground gets dry enough.

Getting stuck every now and than part of owning tractor.

Think you mean UNSTUCK..... have not left one behind yet but some of the extraction have been epic.....
Come along, winches, ATVs, trucks, jacks, mats and other tractors have all been part of the rescues.

 

[Eagle1]

Now something helpful. Chain to the bucket curled down then curl to inch forward. Come along can be use as well, the hydraulics are way stronger than me. In you case you will want someone to do the rigging until it is out. I'm lucky my kid lives here....

A chain shortener, double grab hooks on short chain comes in real handy about then as well.
