@@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.
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.
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 😂😂
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!
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.
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
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 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.
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
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
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.
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 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.
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
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.
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.
@@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!
@@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.
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.
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.
@@mikep3813 It works for me as long as I pay attention and don't get in a hurry. You can learn so much from the older guys that are genuine. Have a great day! Thanks for reaching out.
@@gwilli1754 Thank you for this - I try to be a thorough as I can. We are all in this together and anything that we can do to help each other out as farmers ( or just tractor operators) can only benefit us all long term. Have a great week.
