hmmmmm m, that stuff is a little different than the sand and black dirt I'm used to. plowing yesterday and started getting stuck, so I pulled up the plow to just scrath the top to help it dry out, ahhh crap, still spinning raised it all the way up, well sorta plow stayed where it was furrow wheels just sank down. Well ussually where I've ran you give her the nutts and walk out, so that is what I did. Not in clay I guess, I sank like a tank and there she still sits today. This was a 9230 4wd artic and I dont think it is gonna be easy to get out, owner said we MAY be able to get it out with a CAT, maybe, in a week, maybe. He wasnt mad, just said I learned a little about clay hills. Try helping out a freind and I feel like a donkey. Too embarressed for a pic.

Got to agree with Buickanddeere on that, with the little ones, I didn"t worry much had something bigger to get them out, but had the disc behind the big boy one day and just as she stopped moving I pushed in the clutch and shoved it into park, and made the mistake of raising the disc before I unhooked and drove away, she just sunk in the ground, next time I will leave it the way it is and drive away until the ground dries out

As soon as she almost stops moving. Shove in the clutch and put the trans in park. Then unhook the cultivator or what ever. You maybe able to drive out. Get a long chain and rescue the implement. Once the tire lugs fill with that clay. It's game over.

Well, good news, the called this AM and said they got her out, took an even bigger Case 4x4 and a BIG Magnum. Only problem now is I cant get back to turning dirt cause I cant get a hold of my to get things done here if I leave, and the wife is still in bed, cant expect too much from her today, little too much wine last night, passed out on the couch. Guess she had a bad week at work.
