Screwed up big time :mad

I'd first lift the front using the bucket subframe, first having the clear out the mud/sand or whatever that is. That is where I'd use some 6x6 blocking under my farm jack to keep my jack from sinking. Once lifted, then stick some pallets under the front tires.

As for the rear, I'd first remove the ballast box, do some digging, then once again use some blocking and lift it from the hitch. Do the same as I did for the front, throw some pallets under those rear tires.

I've been through way worse than that.

I would much rather take the time to jack it up, then use a large piece of machinery to potentially damage my tractor.

Either way, you can dig and jack that sucker up.

So basically dig down to something solid and put the blocking down for the jack?

Dumb question but won’t the pallets be crushed (especially with a larger tractor) or does that really matter I guess as long as it keeps the tires out of the muck?

I was thinking the same with the ballast box of dropping it to get the weight off the back.

Thanks, I always like to learn new tricks from others to save me in the future!

Why not use the loader to lift the front of the tractor?

You'd use the hi lift jack as a winch, not a lift in this situation.

You guys ALL left out the most important part!!

Whatever you do OP get a good video!! We need training films!! :)

Can you get deflated tire tubes under it and inflate them?
I'm assuming it's not in running condition.

Why not use a chain on the bucket and use the tilt to pull it out. I have done that many times. Hook to a tree behind it

Wow. That is spectacular, in the worst way. Yes, videos please, with sound, for the extraction.

Seems like suction is going to be a problem at this point.

(Beautiful creek BTW)

Next project: bridge

Was your exhaust underwater "blowing bubbles in the bath tub"?
