TC 35 Stuck on two stumps

[jda1961]

you could winch it off by wrapping a cable or chain around the rear tire and hooking other end to a stout tree or rock then put tractor in lowest gear it has and slowly inch it off, i've done that a few times with the 3600, but that tractor don't have a lot of stuff on the bottom to snag stuff on. high centered on a rock once out in the middle of nowhere, werked like a charm. but use your head, be careful.

To IR: appreciate the advisory on forks. expect to use the FEL to lift the tractor so I can use timbers and dirt to raise the tractor belly away from the stumps. To WilliamBos: Home construction is on high crawl space. no basement

Fantastic!!! Great video. Sure you hadn't rehearsed that before filming? You didn't even need any boards to raise the wheels up before starting. Looked like the ground was pretty firm too as I couldn't see any evidence of the FEL sinking as you moved back. Had to chuckle at your turning of the tires with the wheels up like that, as I've been there before once when I had some huge boulders in a scoop in the back and the front tires up off the ground.

Beautiful area you have there. Surprised you didn't have any of all that recent snow that hit the Northeast. That sure would have made it a bit more challenging. Was instantly jealous to see/hear you have a lumber mill. If you are ever so inclined, I think we'd all love to sometime see your mill in operation.

Cary, it's obvious you did a terrific job. You even remembered to buckle your seatbelt. I also love the Williamsburg, VA area. My wife and I spent part of our honeymoon there in June 2005. Your place looks like a terrific place to build and live. Maybe you'll post some inside views of your house as construction continues. I'd love that.

I'm really happy for you.

Glad you got it off the stumps,

You got me thinking and we were lubing our tractor today and I found the same rubber tee that you showed in your photos on our T2220. The T part on this one goes straight up and it's pretty protected on this model.
