Stuck, really stuck

[MossRoad]

I think someone posted a story last year about someone getting caught in a pole chained to a tire and getting beat to death. Gruesome way to go.

My mistake... the pole caught traction, the tractor flipped over in the mud and crushed him.

Have we even seen pics of the OP's predicament? How do we even know he is stuck without pictures? I low-key enjoy seeing pics of people hopelessly stuck. Not because I revel in their misfortune, but it just blows my mind the situations people put themselves/get into.

Why I don't take picture for others to revel in and perpetuate my stupidity. I seem to be able to forget about the last time quite easily

the situations people put themselves/get into.

I've had it happen. Driving ~ 8' from a tree stump on my B7610. Soft muddy soil, I was about three inches deep in spring mud. Front wheel dropped between two major tree roots (3 or more inches thick). Weight spread the roots apart as it was going down. Couldn't pull it forward or back or up. Ended up cutting one tree root (under at least 3" of mud) jacking it up and putting a plank under it. Fun times.

Waiting for the picture.

And for everyone else waiting on pictures. The rain came through Sunday and fortunately I managed to backfill the spring I dug on Saturday so it didn’t go submarine. In fact it looks like the rain managed to wash out most of the soft stuff.

My wife got down today to check on it - I will have to wait until Saturday to get the winch and snatchblocks down…

WOAH!! Yeah, that is a doozy!!! Excellent job!!

That's an easy peasy job for a Badland 12k winch, plenty of line, and a few pulleys/snatch blocks.
