: : : I was about 14 (part of the problem) when I got stuck. I was disking with a cab equipped IH 966. The window was dirty and I was driving into the evening sun. It was hard to see and it was my first pass down the field. I got the tractor so stuck that the underside of the tractor was resting on the ground. : : : My uncle wanted to beat me to death (he didn't). We broke chain after chain. We pulled it out with 2 JD 4430s. : : Well, I certainly can't beat that, but...I had my JD 750 buried to the point that my pants were getting wet, and I was in the seat at the time! Only thing that saved me was that I had the backhoe on, and between power-down on the bucket and the backhoe, I was able to hoist things out of the muck enough to get some timbers under her and inch my way out. Drew quite a crowd, too. Should have charged admission. : :Got my Ford 3550 backhoe stuck into the mud up to the axels. Everytime I tried to powerdown with the hoe or the bucket, the ground gave way underneath. I was finally able to put cinderblocks under the downriggers,(4 under each), and get 4x12x18 beams under the wheels to drive out. Since no one was around (thank god), I had to repeat the process several times to get out of the field. I should also mention that I first tried to pull out with the 8N, but that only got stuck too. Anyway I got out, but it was well past dark and I was covered in mud. Guess that willow tree stump will have to stay there after all.
