cowsense, we aren't moving a bale either. Just too slick in the fields. Your story reminds me of Halloween night here. We had a load of barley going out, had to load out of a pile in the field. If the truck driver had shown up when he was supposed to at 5:00 instead of 7:00 when he did, he would've got out of the field under his own power. But it had started to rain when he finally got here, and by the time he was loaded, it was good and wet. He was stuck instantly! Husband came home for the 4 wheel drive, told the driver to just sit there till he got back. But no!! He had to try and get himself out and in the process, buried the truck and trailers down to the frame. Husband couldn't even budge him. Called for a tow truck, they sent out a big wrecker. He couldn't budge him either. Every time the tow truck tried to winch him out, the tow truck just slid backwards. They had to put our tractor on the front of the tow truck for an anchor, and they managed to get him out inch by slow inch. Must've been a hell of a bill for the trucking company! They're supposed to pick up two more loads, but they haven't been back yet. I think they're afraid to. Now they can just wait till the ground freezes good and hard.
