Wimpy tractor pulls out tracked bobcat skid steer in the snow

[Sprinklerman]

Good buddy of mine has the tracked bobcat , enclosed cab , stereo etc . Well he likes to make fun of my tractors , " those little toys" I get a call tonight , needs me to pull him out , tells me the road where he is and his phone dies . I called back and it goes straight to voice mail . Now I figure something is wrong so I go and find him . He slid off the road , and backed into a tree , while trying to get unstuck his bucket came loose and fell off , the arms on the loader were half way up and couldnt go down. So he cant get out of the machine . Escape window is blocked and he cant open the front door . Now he is Mr. equipment , and I have the wimpy tractor . I start laughing my ***** off . It is my turn to have some fun . So i told him , your phone is dead , there is no one around , you are stuck in your bobcat , repeat after me . " Your tractor is better than my bobcat " and say " dear sir please pull me out " his response was the normal " go f yourself " And I am laughing so hard , and tell him to get comfortable , its going to be a long night sleeping in the machine . I at least got him to say " Please " . So I unhook the hoses to the 3 in one bucket , drag it off to the side , hook up a chain to my NH tractor . And pull him out . And had to rub it in , " so the wimpy tractor is good for something " Been friends for 30 years , now I can give him a hard time for a month or 2 .

I have a skid steer and it ain't worth beans in deep snow. It gets up underneath and thats it. Your wimpy tractor has the ground clearance his skid don't. Fine for pushing snow on flat surfaces, not worth a dang in a drift.

reminds me of the time , a friend was borrowing my dump trailer and towed with his h 2 hummer and got stuck on damp grass , got pulled out by a 2 wheel drive dodge pick up . he had to sell the hummer cause we gave him so much grief

I never thought about someone getting trapped in a Bobcat. You had him between a rock and an iceberg.

Im guessing an H2 Hummer is not a real Hummer.

Not at all. Basically a mall crawler.

Could he not lift the arms all the way up and get out? That is pretty funny even though it could have ended bad.

My ASV/Terex does ok in the snow, better than the traditional tracked loader... But that's a funny story with your buddy!
