I got stuck in here we ended up putting some logs down in front of it and chaining the bucket to a tree and as we would lift the loader up it would crawl out a little at a time took about 10 minutes once we were all set did'nt even need the tractor we drove back in there.

on solid ground.

It took a good hour to wash all the mud off.

I guess I will have to clean this fence line on foot.
 
lol.. Oh I could only imagine the words that would be coming out of my mouth.. I got my skid stuck a lot the first year I owned itwhen I was using it to load the silage wagon.. Always was able to walk it out eventually but I need to watch my tounge sometimes.. Getting better.. Getting better..


How are those tracks working out for you.. Have thought about getting them but haven't spent the dollars yet..

Its like a mini Caterpillar with the tracks we have alot of sand at home here and tires alone wont cut it.As you can see it digs down with them but it also climbed out on the logs due to the tracks $$$$$ well spent..

Our places north of town are clay ground and they work well on ice and thats what I got them for is logging in the winter.
 
yeap lil bit soft for sure. I can't count how many times I've seen somethin of ours stuck like that. LOL....add water to dirt and you fellas can't resist seein just how far you can take it :wink:

We have alot of fence work that we shoulda orta already been doin, but it's wayyy wet, and we aint. Thanks for postin these photos...maybe it'll serve as a reminder to Mr Lilly, of just how stuck you can get when it's wet LOL
 
our biggest problem is spring usually. We get the top foot of ground thawed out but the frost is still in the ground.. than the sand, mixed with old swamp silt, get saturated in the low areas (Especially with a rain or a thawed snow) and you grove up everything.. A lot of the farmers have switched to track tractors for farming that type of ground.. Most Cats with a couple deeres tossed in.. I think we have seen one Case Styr around with tracs... Will have to look into the tracks for m New Holland.. More money to spend :cry:

I know what you mean on the frost I had my 4x4 tractor out discing some lowground the frost was about 18" deep it sank that far but I took down some fence and got out of there did'nt get that planted until june 20th..
 
Wow, not much of a bottom. If you are like me you will forget about that spot when it dries up and hit it with the pickup and bounce all over the place. :D
