Tractor Stuck, Bangor PA

[rtdiggr]

I don't know I've never got the Kubota stuck.
Everybody else neets at least 2 tractors.
You know:One to pull the other one out with.

That is a simple one "you are not trying hard enough"

when i was in the army i had the chance to goto recovery school. a 2 week class on how to get vehicles unstuck. there is one really simple way to do it but it requires you to have wheels with holes in them. i think most of our tractors have solid wheels but anyway.....take a rope or chan and loop it through your rim, hook the other end to a tree or something stationary, put it in drive with the diff lock on and it will twist the rope or chain up like a rubberband pulling the vehicle right out.

I've gotten my bolens out by hooking two 10 foot chains to the cross chains of each back tire and hooking the other ends to two 2x2 stakes .Put the tractor in reverse and it will pull it right out as the chains wrap around the tires like a wench.

So this must have been the pre Bota days... LB with only one Tractor...Hard to imagine

You're right LB,
But you need three.

One to get stuck,
one to try to pull the first one out,
and the third to go back to the house for more chain

LOL how true.

Back somewhere in the 70s or 80s.

A couple of years ago the neighbour had her Case/IH 585 stuck with a NH489 9ft mower conditioner. The oil pan was on the ground and the mud was level with the PTO shaft, the cutter bar was laying in the mud with the head raised all the way. I tried for an hour with the Kubota and could only move her about 10 ft forward or back.

I gave up for the night and went to leave and started to bury the Kubota. I just left it and walked home. Next day used a little MF 135 to tug the Kubota out, I then purposely drove the Kubota in an buried it with the loader within reach of the mower. Picked it up and used boards under the tires to keep them out of their holes. Tugged the bota out with the 135 again.

Then chained them together and latched onto the 585 with a big stretch strap. It took a lot of yanks but we eventually got her out.

I wish I had some pictures of getting a D11 stuck while cutting the dam out to drain a lake. It took me half of a shift of working at it before I gave up trying to get it out. When I opened the cab door I just walked out on the ground that was level with the cab floor. That's normally about 11' above ground. It took 2 other D11s and a full shift to get it out. That sucked.

"Walking the doggie" With the tractor in neutral brakes off and high rpm, lower the leveled fel bucket to the ground. Then dump the bucket thereby dragging the tractor forwards. This is a useful technique for getting out of the mud. I expect that if you also put the tractor into 4WD low gear and drive forwards slowly, it will work better.

Are you still stuck? If so, use front end loader to push yourself out backwards. Raise loader up in the air and tilt bucket all the way down and back. Then put the loader back down on the ground with some pressure, lift the front tires off ground somewhat and dive dractor backwards at the same time you curl the bucket. that will push you backwards. Keep repeating until you're backed out. I've done this before!

middtractor That's walking the dog backwards!
That seems to make more sense than the procedure that I described, but haven't used. My procedure would push mud under the wheels. And of course, if you drive into mud, there's probably more mud ahead of you. It makes more sense to back out. But with your procedure, unless you take little steps you're scooping up the mud in the bucket.
Has anyone tried these procedures?
