Stuck Kubota

What counts your okay also tractor...getting stuck just refreshing ones ability,and that can be a good thing.

Not to worry. You will get the tractor out. You will also get it stuck again more times than you wish. Just ask how I know this!

I would be lying if I told you I have never been stuck. I have had to be pulled out, come-a-longed out, and dug out in mud and snow ! I would say that many of us in TBN land have gotten stuck. I hope that with each "stuck experience" I have had I will be less likely to get stuck again in the future, but I will probablly get more "creatively stuck" each time I do get stuck .

Mornin Jay,
I think that is well stated ! Each time we gain a bit more experience as what not to do !

Old saying," no pain no gain "

Stuck? Never! A couple of times the machine was "mobility impaired or restricted" and a few times "tractionally dysfunctional", yet a few more times it was "closely earth cradled" -- but never stuck.

(got out each time with hours of shoveling, jacking and cussing)

John, your teaching bad manners as well as letting out the big secret on mobilizing machinery!

Hate getting stuck. Makes the invincible feeling go away. Been stuck a twice so far, but only owned it for 9 months or so.

THE KUBOTA IS OUT! Ahh, life is good once again. It took several tries but with a hd tow strap hooked to my co-workers 4 wheel suv we got it out. Had to move it a little at a time but it finallly broke free and we got it on level land. Renob, my wife says she's got your push! LOL. Don't hold your breath waiting for a dinner invite! Thanks to all that responded I don't feel quite as dumb as I did. Be careful out there one and all.

Glad to hear you are out.

It's odd that there are more cases of "mobility impairment" early in the ownership of one of these 4x4 tractors. Seems the body remembers all the hard work needed to loosen the grip of being "closely earth cradled" and then tells the brain to be more careful!!

If you've ever jacked up a vehicle with a bottle jack on top of a stack of wood you scrounged by the road then pushed it foreward and off the jack to gain 6" of progress, you know what I mean.
