Getting a tractor unstuck

While working on installing a new water line I slid into the partially filled in trench.

Everyone has a suggestion on what you should have done! Lol, you did a great job. You got it unstuck without breaking anything or anyone getting hurt. Good job!

[@tms2568]

I have muddy spots like that on my property too. After much discussion with various professionals, I opted for the R1 Ag tires. Glad I did. Was worried the R4s, and even the R14s, would not hack it. Time will tell for me. Glad you were able to get unstuck safely.

[@DVeck89]

It's only really like that in the spring. The rest of the year my property is pretty dry and I'm driving over grass I don't want to damage too much. So AG tires wouldn't be great for that. Versa Turf tires are probably what I would consider if I was getting new tires. From what I've seen they look like they can handle mud and not damage grass too bad.

[@Sweeps850]

Best tool I noticed was the high lift jack!

[@Pauljohn696969]

Good job getting out. Same sort of thing happened to me. I bought chains for the rear wheels and haven't got stuck again thankfully.

[@MIGHTYX2010]

You did more work by hand than you did with the tractor. Lol You were definitely determined to get out of there, Good for you! 👍

[@jaykepley5238]

Wow. Great recovery! 👏👏👏💪🖖

[@KubotaL4060]

Nice job. It's refreshing to see an operator do the prep work, and not just immediately yank on a stuck tractor!

[@BrettCraft]

You really got that stuck. 😮. Good recovery though. I’ve got the same tractor. One time had to chain some cordwood onto the back tire and pop it out. Always fun doing tractor stuff even when things go sideways.

[@smeefamily54]

Yikes!! Now that is stuck. I had the same issue when I first got my BX. I learned real quick to use the bucket to get out. Even the back hoe is good, if you have one. Take care and stay safe. From Petawawa, Ontario.

[@reloadnorth7722]

I have a Massy GC1710 with the loader and backhoe. I had an acquaintance ask if I would do a bit of work for him, before a function he was having ( my wife and I were invited so a went to help). It had rained for a couple days and I got stuck, he started laughing, but stopped immediately when I used the backhoe to move myself over and push my way out.

[@tractortyme]

Wow, it can happen SO fast to get in a bind. Good job in prepping and working the front loader to get it out of the jam.

[@JonsDailyHustle]

Always the worst feeling when you know your about to be stuck and then your really really stuck lol

[@lcswartz49]

Now you’re gonna have to go in the house and change your shorts, then get yourself a cold beer and call it a day😂😂😂

[@billchriswell2925]

Been there...almost as bad...done that...well..UTV winch got me out🤣 well done👍

[@AndraeTaron]

Great job 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@thehawkc]

Great job getting unstuck. Seatbelt, you know it .Otherwise great job. I got tired 2 minutes in. Whew!

[@johnthree1611]

Seatbelt could be dangerous if he flips it over and can't jump out in time.

[@keithgreenwood9615]

Use the loader bucket to lift yourself out

[@johnthree1611]

That's what he did in the video, it can only do so much.

[@tedhardulak7698]

Also use the Diff lock, and there is no weight in the rear tires. To me looked like a 3 minute task to get it out.

[@Rightthewrongs77]

Step 1. Dont drive tiny tractor through swamp

[@frrapp2366]

she got a little light there for a bit! needed the weight of the box blade But needed it off too, using the bucket to curl and push is a prime way to get out of situations like that. good work Have Fun just be careful!!

[@richardjacques6370]

Great work

[@donaldramey1896]

That jazzy music while you worked made the job seem easy!

[@fredwildauer9590]

You could have lifted up your loader, pulled the bucket back, pushed it down in the ground, and then while your tractor was in reverse, flip the bucket forward. And then repeat that several times backing out of the situation. As you decided to remove the box blade, another thing you could’ve done is take a log or a 4 x 4 that is longer than the tractor is wide and chained that to your rear wheels , place your tractor in reverse which would’ve lifted your tractor up a little bit and then lay more logs down to create a bed which could have saved yourself having to use a jack and shovel to get out.

[@ericwittersheim]

Wow, that looked exhausting. Need to be wearing your seatbelt, otherwise you did a great job. Too bad you didn't have someone to help you.

[@DVeck89]

What would be the benefit of going down with the tractor Vs jumping clear of it? I’m genuinely curious. I don’t see how being stuck to the tractor would be better in this situation.

[@ericwittersheim]

@@DVeck89, the ROPs is designed to protect the driver. Jumping off and getting pinned by the tractor is what causes many deaths or broken bones.

[@michaeldennett1783]

@@ericwittersheim totally agree. Definitely a situation where a seatbelt could have saved your life.

[@tonyknoedl303]

Let the professional do the job- wtf I was afraid you would be another dead person!!! The rop and seat belt is there for a reason- you got lucky, don't push it

[@kibbeystovall7546]

Does your tractor not have a differential locking capability? Not all your tires were turning during the your extraction.

[@DVeck89]

It does but only for the rear tires.

[@ma6netho]

if you had lifted the front loader 90 degree (max) upp in the air, then connected a rope to it from the treee behind you (high up). Then when you lower the frontloader it would pulled the tractor backward, while reversing it. probably.

[@hunterlogan2913]

use truck with Kinetic Rope! Do a small bump or two as needed to get tractor up & out of hole then pull it slowly & carefully till tractor has traction

[@martinneumann9345]

200' 5/16 wire rope, 6 clamps 2 blocks, 1 long anchor strap, 1 big tree, and your truck. Get it set up and put it away for when you need it. You would be out in minutes.

[@croquest8749]

Unfortunately l was stuck 1/4 mile back from my house . Had neighbor pull me out with his excavator twice lol

[@bekabeka71]

How much did he change ya? 😂

[@dmac8831]

Wow you don't have locking differentials on that tractor your front wheel not turning not a true 4 wheel drive. ? But good job on getting it out though.

[@chaseledbetter5186]

I've never seen a tractor with a front locking diff. Most, like his, have a rear diff locker.

[@DVeck89]

The rear does lock but not the front. There's a little pedal I have to hold down to lock the rear.

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Hello Just subscribed, Been there myself🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸

[@barski8885]

Bravo pilgrim. Got 'er TF out.

[@mikep1085]

The idea of a tractor..... is to reduce manual labor, not increase it! 🤣

[@markcole6475]

What a pain for sure! Kind of wondering why you didn’t hook the chain up and pull it with the truck?

[@DVeck89]

I didn’t have the right hitch attachment for the truck to safely pull with and I was afraid of breaking something on the tractor since I wouldn’t be able to see what was happening with it.

[@joeleonard447]

Unless the boxscrape was really dragging the ground, should have left it on and chained to it. You drove that tractor into that spot, did not dig it in too deep by spinning and spinning the tires. So, with a tractor that small, should have not been too difficult to pull it out backwards with your truck.

[@whywouldigivemyrealname5162]

Personally I don’t find a whole lot of situations to be more frustrating than being stuck in mud. It’s worse when the sun starts to drop and you’re losing light.

[@slickrick6883]

All you needed to do was buy a john deere and it would never have gotten stuck.😂

[@BS.-.-]

Is it me or does that tractor seam very un stable?

[@realxxbulletsxx7624]

I bet that was exhausting! Good work getting it out. Question, could you not use the FEL more to plant and push the tractor backward?

[@DVeck89]

I had just put a new waterline in this trench and was afraid of pushing too far down with the bucket and damaging it.

[@damo408]

Don’t you love it when you waste a whole day? Been there before my friend.

[@Maci504]

The would’ve been your best tool to get your tractor out….😂😂😂

[@rybro7420]

😊💪💪💪

[@thegreatnorthwoodswithbb2863]

When you came out of the seat did you have to run to the house and change your underwear?😂

[@richardsteele5095]

Where did you get the step on the left side of your tractor?

[@DVeck89]

It came with it.

[@milodillio6258]

A: why did you run that machine so far down into that wet piece of ground. And B: it is likely that the tractor could have backed itself out of there with tje rigjt operator.

[@toddwalton8356]

Lose the R-4 tires. They are terrible in mud.

[@jeffnelson9280]

What model ls tractor is that

[@DVeck89]

LS XJ2025H, 2021 model.

[@thegreatnorthwoodswithbb2863]

😂😂😂😂

[@jamesconerly1039]

You never should have got off the tractor.All that work for NOTHING!

[@raytinsman2672]

Dont know what your doing

[@jhayward1940]

That's what happens when you drive in a ditch

[@michealwhynot]

That has to be the flimsiest looking tractor that I've ever seen

[@lonewolfwildernesssurvival9443]

Have you considered getting a real tractor lol
