Easy Way to Get a Tractor Unstuck in Mud

[@lewisheath1540]

I spent a day digging and getting further stuck before seeing this in the evening. 5 minutes the next day and I was out! I owe you a huge thank you 🙏

[@StewartFarmApiary]

You are very welcome. I truly enjoy the positive feedback and hope you have a great week.

[@Calman1981]

Do I need to remove 3-pt hitch (blade cutter) to successfully use this technique? Thank you

[@StewartFarmApiary]

@@Calman1981 You don't but if you are not comfortable with it on the back I would recommend removing. It will free up the backend and sometimes the attachment can "pinch" the ground and make it harder to get out. Hope this helps. Have a great week.

[@bradyyoung9312]

Thank you for the information, I used I used your technique. Even though it was a lot tougher than you did it in you video. It did eventually work and saved me From getting the excavator in. I was probably bogged deeper and had to come out backwards and was 5 metres of bog due to rain over 4 days before I could to get to it. Again thanks for info.

[@StewartFarmApiary]

Sounds like you were in a real mess. I appreciate the feedback and happy you were able to utilize my suggestion. Have a great week and thanks again.

[@techatsepale2819]

I got my tractor stuck yesterday pretty bad. Rear wheels were halfway through in the mud. I tried to dig around the wheels, but I got even more stuck. I ended the day in disappointment and went on youtube. So glad I found your video. I tried this the next day and got it unstuck in less than 30 minutes. Thanks for sharing!

[@StewartFarmApiary]

That is great news. I really appreciate the feedback. Have a great week and thanks again for reaching out.

[@DanielLee89501]

Got my Yanmar stuck yesterday in very wet boggy mud. After hours of digging took a break and found this. Used this and the windmill technique to move my tractor about 20’ to high ground.

[@StewartFarmApiary]

Glad you were able to get it unstuck. This method has always worked for me and continues to. Thanks for the feedback. Have a great week

[@user-kirbstone]

I HAVE a 4 wheel drive kubota - and guess what? Ya still get them stuck! Will give this a try 👍🏼

[@StewartFarmApiary]

Yes indeed - that is basically what I was telling the guy that told me I needed a four wheel drive. I appreciate the feedback - we can all get anything stuck if we try hard enough 😂😂

[@marastrout3178]

This video helped me get my tractor out of the mud today. Gathered up everything I needed and worked as described. Thank you for making this excellent video with all the perfect warnings. Helped me out big time this evening! 💰Advice

[@StewartFarmApiary]

You are very welcome. I am always so happy to hear that I have helped someone. Have a great week - glad your tractor is unstuck.

Thank you. I just got my tractor stuck in mud. I freed it with your method.

[@StewartFarmApiary]

Really happy knowing this works for other people. Have a great day !

Thank you so much I got our lawn mover out of the garden by myself! Thank you again for the video!!!

[@StewartFarmApiary]

I had never thought about using for a lawnmower. Great job. Thanks for the comment. Have a great day.

[@farmyourbackyard2023]

Thanks. I'm a recent widow. Got my little garden tractor stuck today and am looking for tips. This is a great one.

Very good advice from your Farmer friend..My dad always come up with good ideas to s solve problems are issues around his Farm

[@StewartFarmApiary]

True old school people mostly always know. Have a great week.

[@z135210]

I have super sandy soil and this just saved me big! My 40 horse 4wd tractor was stuck in super nasty quicksand - the bottom of the tractor was basically scraping - I couldn't see the bottom of my rim at one point. I just had to move the log 3-4 times. Thanks!

[@StewartFarmApiary]

You are very welcome. Really glad the method worked for you. Have a great week!!

[@anderson7119]

Unfortunately, i need to give this a try tomorrow.. thanks for the video! Wish me luck. Thanks in advance

[@StewartFarmApiary]

Good luck. You will get it out. Just take your time. Have a great week.

[@philipcarroll2907]

I spent like 6 hrs today digging out and jacking-up a tractor outta the mud today.. Got the damn thing out but I think this technique could have saved me a lot of time.. Like you said, there's always next time I got stuck in a sink hole..

[@StewartFarmApiary]

Sorry for your bad luck. I wish we had mud here to get stuck in - major drought. Have a great week and thanks for the feedback.

[@lousplumbing2042]

. I’m currently stuck . Spent 3 hours trying to jam wood inter the tired. This is brilliant. I’m Gonna try when I get home.

Glad to help!!

[@RedCowsGreenFields]

Great tip! Thanks

[@tonysimone2043]

great tip the problem is most newer tractors do not have any holes on rims

[@StewartFarmApiary]

I wouldn’t know - I can’t afford a new one 😂😂

[@Neilson-ve9si]

Awesome thanks for sharing, america 🇺🇸 baby

[@StewartFarmApiary]

Hope it helps you. Have a great week.

[@fredlebhart1393]

looking forward to getting to try this this weekend, thanks for the tip!

[@StewartFarmApiary]

Hope this helps - can't stress enough to watch your valve stem. Also, don't have too much slack in your chain. Thanks for the feedback.

[@fredlebhart1393]

@@StewartFarmApiary my tractor is about 20" deep in the field outside my window; gonna have a few days of sun this week so after it dries a bit i'll try to get her out.

[@StewartFarmApiary]

@@fredlebhart1393 Hang in there. Patience is the key!

[@bradley5819]

Nice also if you have a double acting loader it can be used to pull you forward

[@StewartFarmApiary]

agree. that would make it much easier. thanks for the feedback.

[@robertordewald8678]

I surprised one guy with my rollback it was a F-450 with dual rear wheels two-wheel drive and I got it stuck on some slippery greasy mud in a parking lot and the landowner was going nuts just like what are you going to do yeah yeah so what I did is I just took my chain and wrapped it around in one spot on one outside dual got in the truck and drove away in the guys like I never saw anything like that and he was truly impressed and to me I've been doing that all my life it was just no big deal. Oh well you can teach folks stuff but they got to remember what they see best regards

[@StewartFarmApiary]

Sounds like you know what you are doing. Chains always seem to be a good option for tires. Thanks for the feedback.

[@thegreatnorthwoodswithbb2863]

Oldest trick in the book we've done that over thirty years ago.. couple small logs

[@StewartFarmApiary]

Thanks for the feedback

[@williamhelgren4822]

4 wheel drive isn’t a silver bullet. Just buried the right side of mine in a soft trench. About to use your trick.

[@StewartFarmApiary]

Excellent. Just watch for the valve stem. It works every time for me .

[@senior4546]

yesterday feb 17 /24....we went to check on things to our property, began to move some fallen trees and sure enough ,we hit a soft spot and in we went!!!..( 4x4 didnt help) .did not know about this rig, had to leave it there after getting in worse and worse, we are going back today with a winch and couple of batteries and planning to place the winch chained to a tree and see what happnes, if not, i will for sure try this!!!!,,,thanks

[@StewartFarmApiary]

Good luck. Ive never used a winch. Usually the 4x4 board gets it. I just purchased a L3301 4x4 with a loader. It arrives on Tuesday. Im excited. Thanks for the comments and have a great week.

[@vap0rtranz]

I owe you a beer! this worked.

[@StewartFarmApiary]

Now that makes me smile. Glad to share this trick. Glad your tractor is unstuck. Keep that beer cold for me!!

[@edwarddavis1920]

Nice!!!!!!!! I gotta comment and advice Never say to the Game Warden, I never been checked for a fishing license so I figured I didn't need one!

[@StewartFarmApiary]

You would be correct. Have to make sure to follow the rules. Thanks for the comment.

[@edwarddavis1920]

I was being Honest with the Guy that's all. I thought he might of gave me a warning if I told him the truth. That's the problem with Society today no one wants to accept the Truth? And this is probably why I am single well I won't say anything else but you can only imagine

[@skidfrog]

I DO have a 4WD Massey and I buried all 4 tires to the axle in 30 seconds I might have to try a FEW chains and 4x4 chunks tomorrow hahaha .

[@StewartFarmApiary]

It has always worked for me. Just watch that valve stem so you don’t break it off. You might be able to strap one on the front and back tire. Let me know how it works out.

[@skidfrog]

@@StewartFarmApiary magic.......I am unstuck.....but i needed one each side and had to reset and do it again. BUT....free at last ! Thanks to you

[@StewartFarmApiary]

@@skidfrog That makes me very happy to hear. Glad I can help. Spread the word - lol. Keep those 4x4 close. They will always come in handy in the future.

Put a longer pull chain it to both Wheels. Be aware you could pull the front of that tractor straight up

[@StewartFarmApiary]

Thanks for the feedback

[@pktractorandallmachine8438]

Awesome 💯👍

[@StewartFarmApiary]

Glad this helps..........

[@The_Sniper13]

do i do the same? our tractor weights over 7,000lbs.

[@StewartFarmApiary]

I think you should be fine. You could always use a 4x6 or a 6x6 if you are worried. Ive seen bigger tractors then mine use a 4x4. Hope this helps. Have a great week.

[@The_Sniper13]

@@StewartFarmApiary thx, and u to!

[@gregharper7075]

I have a Mahindra tractor and the rear rims are solid. Is there another way for something like this?

[@StewartFarmApiary]

I would hate to give you bad advice but if I was in your situation I would get a tow strap and wrap around the entire tractor and ratchet strap it down with the 4x4. Also, make sure when you ease it out of the hole you press in your differential so both wheels turn. Don't know your exact situation but I would have used this method in the video if I didnt' have holes. Just watch to make sure you don't bring 4x4 all the way around. I have had one person come back and say they used a 10 foot 4x4 and put parallel across for both tires and did this. Just a thought. I see your Marine logo - Thank you for your service. I'm former Navy and appreciate you serving this beautiful country. Have a great week.

[@gregharper7075]

@@StewartFarmApiary Thanks brother for your service as well. I am having difficulty understanding what you wrote about wrapping the entire tractor and with a tow strap with the 4x4. Sorry for the Marine coming out. I'm a fairly new tractor owner and I got stuck this last Sunday and its was a BEAR!

[@StewartFarmApiary]

@@gregharper7075 No worries - its hard to explain. Ive only seen it done and not tried it myself. Another way to help get unstuck that I used before this method is also just strap a heavy duty come along to a tree or another tractor and use the strength of the come along to at minimal get it out or hold where you have been able to move it. Use in conjunction with a few 4x4 that are not chained to tire but more of just a gripping mechanism for the tire.

[@gregharper7075]

Can you clarify about the tow strap and 4x4? If not, I hope to see the video in the near future.

[@StewartFarmApiary]

@@gregharper7075 Ill try to do a video soon.

[@thegreatnorthwoodswithbb2863]

Understandable just a demonstration.... Because if that tractor was actually stuck you better give It up

[@StewartFarmApiary]

Thanks for the feedback

[@zerocaige]

I let my wife out of my sight for 5 minutes and she beached our tractor. I'll be chasing down a chain for my 4x4 tomorrow to get it out.

[@StewartFarmApiary]

It will work! Hope you were able to get the tractor unstuck

[@sinfullban3809]

Nah i got a 4x4 and still got stuck. Thats why im here 😂😂

Well try this way and it may help. 🤣

[@johnburk9157]

I have a 4x4 tractor that was stuck a lot worse than that. There's a better way to get them out.

[@StewartFarmApiary]

I’m sure there are many ways. This is simply the one that works for me. Have a great week.

[@brocknspectre1221]

Ha! "Half of them are full of crap!" Yeah, but being able to tell which half you're talking to might be a subject for your next video!

[@StewartFarmApiary]

I might need some help on how to tell. Ive been fooled more than once. I came here for the city and knew nothing about farming - Pavement to Pasture and I can say it cost me money and time. I have gotten better over the years in spotting them. ha. Thanks for the response.

[@normanengelhardtiii3075]

Mount it on the outside

[@StewartFarmApiary]

If you don't mount it equally on both sides the one side that grabs will pull the other one and it will not work.

[@mikep3813]

Judging from the comment section it looks like it's pretty easy to do as long as you're paying attention. It's easy to criticize, not as easy to offer a better solution I see.
