yeah agree, was offroaddriving for some years and that tractor isnt stuck at all... He knew to stop before its to late and ask for help, much easier to get the job done than if he tried and burried the stuff really deep. Laura, you should give the guy a little bonus for thinking before doing something wrong.

Hi, some tip, if you will allow me since it is a new experience for you the stucked tractor, from another farmer from Greece. It is not enough to rely solely on the towing tractor. It needs some more help than the towed tractor with higher gear and steady throttle. As you can see the towing tractor is spinning and the rear one is crawling at 13:19.

I grew up in the Mississippi Delta. One of the first really big four wheel drive eight tire tractors that came out in the seventies was the Allis Chalmers 40. The joke was you had to buy two of them, because if one of them got stuck, the only thing that could pull it out, was another one.

Everyone Talking about these Ropes, They are called "Yankums" and they are probably the BEST Tow rope you can buy on the market!!!! they come in all different sizes, with all kinds of attachments. My friends and I use them for Off-roading, and man are they strong! We have run through chains, and cables and other straps but the ONE that has NEVER broken is the Yankum! They operate like a Climbing rope, they have a little stretch, up to 30%, which allows you to use the momentum and kinetic energy stored in the rope to give you that extra little push! They are LEGIT! as are ALL of their products, Braided Shackles included! And man she is awesome! You should send them this footy!

I use to drive frameless end dump and we had trucks with a dead axle. Those things were constantly getting stuck, I lost count of the times I was pulled out of fields and soft ground at the coal mines. Scary feeling watching that trailer start to lean as you are raising it, wondering if you have to pull the trailer down and try again, or keep going and pray the load starts coming out. Lonely feeling when the truck is stuck in a field, no cell service and no one is around. Had one time I had a load of road salt and the directions took me to a farm field, (No I didn't drop the load.) Drove till I had cell service and could get the proper drop location of the township salt shed.

Nice job... and you still had alot more play in that rope. Grant could of backed up a couple feet, drove forward at a moderate speed and gave you a sudden jerk to add even more pull to get you out. The beauty of those ropes is instead of doing a sudden jerk like a chain, it takes that same energy and pulls like a rubber band giving you a much smoother jerk. Plus with that rubber band type jerk, it adds more pulling power than just from a tight cable or chain would do. Those ropes are magical.

While you can use Yankum ropes for static pulls, they excel in kinetic pulls. Back to the the stuck vehicle, set the rope to a STURDY location, drive to the end of the rope, back up 3-4 feet and forward to give it hell. The slingshot effect pull will pop most vehicles up out of what they're stuck in.

I did the same thing the first time I disked. I knew the area was soft. In our “neck of the woods” we call them deer licks (self explanatory). The prior pass the disk got bogged down a little but no problem. The next pass I tried to get a little closer. Oops. I was out by myself and had to unhook the disk and I came at the disk from the side and pulled it out with a chain. I was sweating it for a little bit because it would be a long ride back the barn and the obligatory lecture that would ensue. Fun times. Good memories.

My boss gave me sound advice when operating equipment, especially if you are working unfamiliar ground. Tip 1: If you see the front wheel of the tractor start to disappear in the mud, STOP! Tip 2: Don't bother discing spots that have cattails in them. Tip 3: 4x4 tractors get stuck the same as 2-wheel drive. The only difference is you're further out in the field when it happens. So, make sure you have extra long tow chains available. 😆

Maybe he couldn't have lifted fast enough if he did try after seeing the pause Laura had in activating the hydraulic system on her JD, was a 3 second delay from the time she clicked the switch and the chopper began to lift.

As a teenager on our NE WI dairy farm, both me & my dad got stuck many times. Our neighbors got stuck. Our whole area was low dark rich soil. We always carried long logging chains on our tractors. When we REALLY got stuck, especially our biggest one, we'd call our neighbor and he'd drag his long 150' very thick cable down the road ditches to wherever we were. Of course, he'd call us a couple times each year to pull him out. It was all just being neighborly and no money ever exchanged hands. Ditto when others needed extra hay, forage or gravity wagons.

Hi Laura and Grant, it's just beautiful to watch how accurately you are prepairing for planting :-) I'm living in Northern Germany, where's a lot of corn on the fields. Most of it is harvested as silage either for cattle or mostly for energyplants (biogasanlage = organic gas plant) for heat and electricity. In this part of Germany it's quite humid and the ground often is boggy. So during harvest it's not seldom that tractors get stuck, even with big tyres. A neighbour of mine is a contractor running several JD tractors (I like the sound when they come by) and since last year a JD forage harvester I think 9000 series... it's a monster, when it rolls through the village. Concerning big tyres and row tyres: due to the humiddity and rich ground conditions and the fact that most of the corn is for silage, the farmers in Germany don't need to apply such intensive care as you do. There are some farmers who produce seed corn, but that's not too often. Have a great planting season! Cheers ;-)

At 5:58 I was thinking to myself "never say a job is pretty hard to screw up cuz inevitably there is someone dumb enough to screw it up ". Yankum is an awesome product. So much easier and safer than chains or static straps. Getting stuck happens to the best of us often when we least expect it. Several years ago I had a close call in a 9200 Deere with a 40ft field cultivator. It hadn't rained in weeks but I got into some silt on the low side dump out of a terrace. It sure is a sickening feeling when you have all 8 tires spinning and no forward progress. I lifted the cultivator out and wagged the tractor back and forth and eventually wollered my way out but it was dang close. That was before we knew about kinetic ropes like Yankum. Looking back I'm not entirely sure how we would have pulled that tractor out since it was the biggest one on the place by 75hp. Guess somebody upstairs was looking out for me!

Love that rope. The thing is that if a synthetic rope does happen to snap it just goes dead. If a cable or chain breaks it can whip around all over the place and cause all kinds of damage and injuries. My old 4WD truck has a 4 ton winch on the front with a metal cable. For my new truck I'm looking at synthetic rope instead of steel cable because of that very issue. Great video - Gage was just doing his job. Stuff happens. The only thing that counts is how you respond.

Almost a year now and i can guarantee. You are glad you didn't fire him he has proved himself quite valuable around the farm, shop. Wherever you need him. Seems like a good guy. Don't know for positive. Just a gut feeling. A good time to step back and have some patience. He is young and learning too

Hi Laura, excellent recovery of the tractor and disc stuck in the mud, the secret is to stop (as you did) in time before getting too bogged down. Unfortunately I don't have this problem because my area (North West Italy) is experiencing the worst drought in the last 100 years.👨🏻‍🌾💪🏻🇺🇸🇮🇹

Great job, I know in spring there were wet spots in the field and if you were not familiar with them, you would get stuck. I’m glad you were able to get the tractor unstuck. It’s true, every day was different when I was on the farm.

lol, they are basically dragging the tractor out. Some impressive power. Rope looks a bit oversized for your anchor points, but if it was donated, then the price is right. ;)

Give him a raise, dug my share out where the operator dug it in deep. Theirs a youtube of a New Holland front tracked combine buried with two ford articulated pulling hard. Wouldn't have been surprised if they broke something.

Hell ya !! Who has not done that going through a draw !! Even combines get stuck while cutting corn. Main thing is avoiding the wet draws and always ease up a gang ie lift up the gang that's about to go through the wet spot . That drawbar was in there . Well done kiddo it's a learning process we all come through as operators . I am more used to sweeps on field operations before planting . It's the season for sure .

Considering the dollar value of the equipment, the young lad had the common sense to stop. As a kid I remember burying an old (but thankfully worthless) Suzuki SJ10 up to its axels in mud trying to get myself out. Spent hours digging it out to the point I could get towed and a day or so cleaning up the mess. If I had just stopped I would of been towed out immediately as shown in the video. A hard won lesson that I remember thirty years later.

You put a smile on my face when you admitted you are just off I-80. I also live just off I-80, only I am between Sacramento and San Francisco. That would make for one hell of a commute. If you ever come out west, I volunteer to help out your travel plans and help advise what to see and do. This is my backyard, and would welcome you personally.

16:11 I saw a similar tractor on social media with the widely spaced front wheels folded up. That setup must place a huge bending moment on the front axle when hitting a bump on the outside wheel.
