I think a lttle rear end weight and it would have walked right out. You just wanted a reason to use the dozer. Then you tell everyone what a tough day you had with a big smile on your face. Two toys in 1 day,,,, " PRICELESS"
Looks like with somebody on the tractor the car would have pulled it out.

Looks like there was no effort to use the FEL. I believe that would have got this out.

You are right, FEL would have worked.

As I said earlier, the pictures of the mud hole are really deceptive. There is no hard ground there to use with the FEL. What you are seeing is mud with standing water covered with leaves and branches. However, we didn't try using the FEL because my son didn't want to dump the load of logs and because it's easier to get the tractor out using the right tool (the dozer). I don't think it (using the FEL) would have worked anyway.

The tree is not a walnut, it's a chinese elm.

The picture has become a little clearer now. No weight on the back and not dumping the load in front. When I've gotten stuck like that the BB or BH was on and had to dump the load out of the bucket or forget it. Would really like to have a little dozer like that as well.

I don't know a whole lot about New Hampshire, but I do know this, you have MUD!

And, yes, nice dozer! Right now I wish I had that to remove the rest of my barn. May be renting one soon.

I know I'm just a mean guy but I would have made the kid dump the logs and try to back out with alittle help from the fel. He would think about not getting stuck next time after picking the logs out of the mud. :D

Wow, that is one good looking Dozer. I wish I could get a few hours in on that. :D

I've been to Mad's house several times, the pictures don't do justice to how wet that area of his property is. That said, why fight the Kubota when that TD6 would snap it out of there in 10 seconds.

Excellent point,I would have done the same thing if I had a dozer.
