I asked for advice on buying a white 2-155 a couple months ago. Not sure it was the best idea, but I bought it. Needed a tractor right away. Tractor is very nice, runs good, very thirsty, the 4wd builds a false sense of security...
Perhaps I should have known better it was the first of Feb.
In case the link doesn"t work I posted this in the stuck photos section.
Also, thanks for all the advice earlier. Just because I bought the 155 doesn"t mean I didn"t think pretty hard about a 4-210.

This was me with the 2-85. If you look to the right of the picture, you can see the tracks from a 2-wheel drive 2-105 where he blew right past me.He was pulling the same size load as me. I did'nt go down their anymore after that. I let the hired hand finish up down their.

That looks like corn silage on the ground! If so I've been in your situation way too many times!

It's cabbage leaves. After we cut the corn, we spread the cabbage leaves, then plow them under.

It looked like there was an awful lot of material on the ground for silage chopping!
Don't we all love mudding stuff out! Nothing like jumping off the tractor step and going up to your knees in mud.

O. K. What do you sow this time of the year? Was this a sink hole?

I was planting oats. There was a wet spot at one end of the field. I had three acres left to plant and was trying not to leave much of a skip. I had just turned around and I drove over a spot I had already planted. Also, at that point my phone rang and I answered it. I think I said, "oh fiddle!" instead of hello...

This is when you need a good winch and something to anchor it to. Hal

Here's the pic.

Been there, done that. :) We still have a couple feet of frost & getting 8 or so inches of snow this evening. So I still have time to think about sinking my equipment.

This was right at the end of some freezing weather here in Oregon. I was making one last pass around the mud hole when the phone rang...
Then, the farmer brings a 2wd tractor to pull me out. I almost got out but he stalled his tractor. Then he stalled it again. When the drill started bulldozing I put the wheels down to lift it over the mudpile. Then the chain broke. The mud was so sticky I couldn't pull the wheels back up. It all went down hill from there. In the picture we are trying to dig the drill wheels out. That and two other tractors helped a lot.

I farm some real wet yellow clay rolling hills land here in Minnesota. I can relate to all that. All to well.

Couple years ago I was combining & sunk it into the bleeding spring. Dern, shoulda known about that. Took 2 hours to get it out - I'm a 1-man band, so pulled it with a tractor, rock it out 4 inches at a time, between cabs, lock & unlock combine brakes, shorten chain, etc. The pulling tractor needs to roll down the dirt it throws up, or I get it stuck too, so a _lot_ of cab climbing.

All wore out, so go to the other side of the field where it was going well, so I get a rest. 1/2 way down the row, she sinks. In deep again. Walk back to the tractor, start rocking & cab climbing.....

All right next to the county road of course.

Yes this was right next to the road. Everyone in the neighborhood saw it. There is more to the story.
As soon as I got unstuck the farmer I was planting for took his 4wd JD away. My brother stuck around with our MM. I have three acres left. Everything is going fine. I am staying away from any wet spots. I going along at 6 mph and all of a sudden I stop. I get out and walk around behind the drill. Water spurts out of rows where the openers made a slice in the sod. It really looks bad.
The farmer's son sees me and starts across the field with his John Deere 4640 2wd and singles. This is the tractor that failed to get me out the first time. He almost gets stuck cutting across where I have already planted.
Meanwhile my brother gets the old MM G1355 (w/duals) lined up with a cable. We also hook up the JD. The son has the JD in low so it won't stall again. My brother forgot which gear range he is in and puts the MM in 4th instead of 2nd. Both tractors take up the slack. I open up the White, I'm in 3rd or 4th. My brother starts at an idle with the MM slowly opens the throttle it starts spinning and he backs off a little to let it hook up. I raise the drill to get over the mud pile and put it back down to let it float on all the wheels. The MM hooks up and he opens the throttle again to find out he is in 4th gear. All of a sudden we start catching the JD really fast. Nothing like 585 cubic inches of low end torgue to get you unstuck on the FIRST attempt~!
