Probably the oddest "stuck" I ever was was in the woods, skidding a tree with the old 600 Ford. The tree hung up while I was on a side slope, the wheels spun and the tractor slid sideways. It was stopped when it slid up against a 10" tree. The tractor got sort of hooked on the tree, the tree being in between the rear tire and the tranny/diff.

It was pretty tricky dropping a tree that size in that situation without killing myself and/or the tractor, but we got it done...
Oh, and I chewed myself out pretty good for that one!

Once started it putted along pretty good. It
