Actually it was his mom who told him to come see if I could get him out. He's a good kid, wasn't driving like a maniac - if he was, he would have ended up in a lot worse shape with a smashed up car.

Nice one. Its amazing how much these tractors can pull if you get a little traction. I move around a 7,000# boat with my b2920 on some hills and non-paved surfaces. I'm always amazed by what you can move with these little machines. Nice going with no additional damage, sounds like he got very lucky!

Great job, nothing like a little pucker factor.
Tractors are amazing, I pulled a jacked up 1500 out of a snowy ditch on our shared hill driveway with my 1860 never thinking it would get it out but it was the only thing I had I figured wouldn't get stuck on the hill at the time.

Good Job being neighborly! Dont forget you always have bucket curl if you dont have enough traction to pull what you need to.

Well the snowplow was on the FEL and the blower was on the 3pt, so I didn't have all the "tools" I typically have when the bucket & backhoe are on. Fortunately, all I needed was the tires.
I used the factory drawbar, by the way. Was wondering if it would pull up the front end at all, but all 4 tires stayed firmly planted on the road.

Good for you - way to be neighborly.
I keep tow chains with me on the skid steer when I am plowing the crazy hilly roads we live on. A little work/inconvenience for you saved him a very expensive bill and major inconvenience.
Keep up the good work.
