Tractor Stuck, Bangor PA

With help, and a come along, and a bunch of chain we did manage to get it unstuck. Pictures to come in a bit.

Well, unfortunately, due to the location it was at, the amount of mud in the surrounding area, and the fact that we were losing light, I didn't take my camera down during the actual getting it out. I still have a few more posted signs to put up there though, so I'll get a shot of the hole it was in tomorrow morning.

Ended up getting it out by putting some old tires under the FEL, and using it to pull the front tires up out of the mud, then put a 2x6 under the fronts, and under the mid, in front of the rear tires. Set the front tires down on the 2x6, put a chain to the front end, then to the come along, and to more chain to a tree.

Put the tractor in an incredibly low gear, tires barely turning. 4x4 locked in, rear diff locked. Rocked the front wheels back and forth and let it crawl forward while the come along was cranked.

Took about 4-5 lengths of the come along with different length chains to get it to a spot where it could pull itself out. I'm also fairly sure that the quite worn down front tires didn't help matters any.

Looks like tomorrow I'll finish putting up posted signs on foot.

I do have some snaps of before i cleaned it up.

Maybe................CAUTION-WET AREA AHEAD! signs would be more appropriate than NO HUNTING signs.

Glad to hear you got it out.

LMAO, well if people want to trespass, they deserve to sink up to their waists.

Maybe instead of "No Trespass" you should put up "Free Parking for non-permissioned hunters"

I think this gives you an excuse to get a 4 wheeler...gotta look for the bright side of everything.

"Honey I just have to have a new Teryx, imagine if I got stuck an no one came to my rescue!"

How does that saying go? Something like "four wheel drive just gets you stuck further from the house". Oh well, it gave folks something to do, including me.

If you have this problem again get a couple of bags of lime and dump it arround the tires and in front of the tires. You can usualy drive rite out. We use this method with stuck concrete trucks. We verry seldom have to call a wrecker unless the truck is leaning.
