Found this Monday morning at work. The guy operating it was trying to get dirt off the stock pile. Not only did he stick it but he spun the wheels till he tore the valve stem off the rim. The agency that was using it tried to pull it out with a Hummer,yea right. A huge wrecker did the trick.

No one talented enough to push it out with it's own loader, eh?

My thoughts, too. Should have done so easily- looks like the back tires are on fairly solid ground.
Those tires aren't helping any - I had a set of them, and in wet clay, they are worthless. Supposed to be good in sand or on pavement, but they were so poor in the soil we have that I got rid of mine after about 50 hours' use.

I highly doubt it could have pushed itself out judging by how far the front wheels are sunk.

Looks like they might have tried to get it out by pouring tranny juice on it.

The angle of the picture is misleading. The loader is on the rear of the tractor. The tractor articulates so I think it could have been worked out on it's own. Maybe not with a flat rear tire.

A hydraulic line came loose that is why the oil bucket is there.

The seat and all the controls rotate 180 degrees.

I don't think you could - the newer machines W/ self leveling buckets are not made to do that.
But he may have been able to lift it to get something under the wheel.

Yep, just like our plowing threads, you can't get a loan and buy experience. A 4 way loader should be able to pull itself out of the gates of H3!! By lifting itself straight up till the tires are above ground, an abled bodied human could have shoveled (invented 4000BC) enough rocks and chunks to set the wheels up high and dry, and put some old planks under the --- what is that? the front or the back? which end is which???

Rollie. Looks like the responders are having a tough time determining the front from the back. All they have to do is LOOK AT THE MIRRORS>!!! DUH>!!

Should of left it there and pile the dirt on it. Those machines are like boats and campers, there's only two days your glad you have them the day you buy it and the day you get rid of it!! chris

couple of smart people running that. the easyest thing to do would be to put in low gear and push with the bucket. how could they not think of that.

Exactly! Either end can be the "front". In this case, the seat is facing the end with the loader, so in essence, the loader end is the front.

Well Mark, I have come to the conclusion that few people do anything in low gear anymore... and this machine is too technically advanced to help itself out of this perdicament. How much does one of these things cost???
