Well it was bound to happen . Didn't get a pic of it fully stuck because I only had a 1/8 tank of fuel and it was showing empty the whole time stuck because the front was up to the bottom of the hood .
It happen because I thought I would rip in-between the two rips I had made . And tires was run in the rips .

Good thing is I have plenty of recovery rigs . Lol

They had done drug it 30' before the pic . With the winches . It was almost out by the time someone took the pics . I have two winches pull . Both people it the winch rigs can't drive standard rigs other wise they could have strait pulled but had to winch . The bronco is the one that done it because its winch is faster which I didn't . The main reason I hook the bronco was because the rear left tire was 3' off the ground . And I used it to keep it from turning the tractor over . When pull'n .

Did you use that bucket for what it can do in a case like this? I see no mud in the bucket, which tells me that push ability wasn't used. Comment?

I once use my smaller blue tractor to pull a big green one when that owner didn't use his bucket.

No didn't know really how I guess . I did try to see if it would pick the front out of the mud but it wouldn't . The left front was all the up to the bottom of the hood . Left tire was 100% under .
Plus I was I figured about to run out of fuel and have a real mess .

Looks like fun to me! I like the mud.

If you raise the bucket, curl it down, then push the cutting edge into the ground and curl it up, it can help you back out of a mess. Not always, but sometimes.

I got mine stuck this past Thursday. Took about 2 1/2 hours to get it out. Only had to get the rear tires back about a foot so they could grab onto something, was headed down about a 30 percent grade just over the lip. Finely had to get out about 325' of cable to attach to something solid so I could pull it back that one foot then out it came. Using another tractor or truck to pull it out was not an option, been there before - then had two things to get out.

Thats what happens when you get lazy. I usually keep this path open after every storm so that if we have a sudden thaw it prevents flooding from the snow causing a dam. It drifts bad and packs the snow in hard and deep.

I got my L3800 stuck Friday. Really stuck. I was in the woods and the snow was so deep I couldn't see a little ditch and slid in. Towing wasn't an option as I was way back in the woods and I tried everything. Finally I dug all around it and lifted the stuck side with the backhoe stabilizer. With a chainsaw I cut some 3" poles and slid them under until the wheels until tractor was relatively level and then backed her out. It worked really well but I was exhausted at the end! I knew I was going to get stuck eventually, it was inevitable. I kept pushing my luck. LOL
It is amazing what doesn't get this thing stuck!
