Uh oh! Buick got stuck!

My wife backed her LuCerne into our now muddy turnaround last night (warm temps and snow with rain really mudded things up) and buried it to the front bumper. I fired up my 9N and gently pushed on the back bumper with one tire. Tire didn't spin and tractor didn't even pretend to work as it easily pushed the car outta the soupy mess. I really like having this thing!

And wife happy, your life happy. Bet she won't make fun of your tractor(s) either!

y sister lives on the property next to me. It is hill country and she has a mobile home placed on a bull dozed large flat area.

My nephew drove home one night in his El Camino and his brakes went out on him and he kept going over the edge of the pad. He came and got me and my 8N the next morning. The back bumper of his El Camino was about ten feet down from the flat. It plowed through some brush and came to rest against a boulder. The brush slowed it enough so it wasn't damaged.

Since this hill that it was on was about 35 degrees, I didn't have much hope of pulling it up with my 8N. But we hooked it up and I pulled that thing up like it was a toy. I couldn't believe it. Of course I have a heavy Wagner FEL on it with loaded back tires which also have weights on the insides.

These old tractors can be real life savers sometimes even though they are low on the horse power by today's standards. :wink:

Those little tractors put a lot of engine power to the wheels. Don't know if it's because of simpler lighter weight drive train parts or what. Dad's little B Farmall is another one. It will pull a lot more than I would think an 18 horse tractor should in low gear.
