My FL106 Freightliner service truck has the same problems. Given that I am pushing the legal 20,000 on the rear all the time, all it takes is a shower and I can get stuck on top of the mud, don't even have to sink. On the other hand I have been pulled into and/or out of job sites by dozers, on purpose, so many times I now keep a heavy cable in the back for just such occasions....it's those times when I don't plan to be stuck that really get to me...
I wish I had pics of the last time I was really stuck. I was several hundered yards back on a sewer pump station construction site that was nothing but red dirt. It had been dry for weeks so the site was nothing but powder when I got there earlier in the day. Around 4:30 a storm came in (one of those walls of water coming toward you type of things), and before I could even think about moving and I knew I was stuck. It was Friday afternoon and everyone else had left at 3 so I was the only one there. Getting to the gravel road out meant having to pull my truck up and down a hill that also had some side slope in it. Now that was an adventure in itself. Anyway, much longer story short, it took me nearly 2 hours in the rain, with a D5, all by myself, to get my truck pulled to the gravel road so I could leave. Many, what a PITA....

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
