got my 21 Hp Iseki 4WD stuck in swamp, found your video, tied a couple of 1/4 rounds to the rear tires and just drove out, magic. If you are ever in NZ I will buy you a beer.
It is easy to watch the video from 1000 miles away and find fault. You did right. We viewers cant see the whole picture from the cameras point of view. Don't let the critics get you down.
Wow! You were VERY LUCKY that the broken timber did not rip the rear tire right off of the rim!!! But it is a great video showing how one can get unstuck. Thanks!!!
The next day Cowboy got stuck again, and that time Cowboy had to do it all by himself. Breaking two 4 x6's finally getting out with 6x6's. The front of this tractor is real heavy with the fwd running gear and loader, notice the front didn't lift at all.However a previous poster is correct, going backwards is always safer. Thank you Milo for posting this and thank everyone for their comments, yourtube is a blast.
I guess I'm allowed to speak. We've had rain for the past week and a lot of it, when it came to feeding cows, the skid loader (Its a skid loader, not a bobcat, that is its a new holland brand) kept getting stuck, all it took was the Oliver 1750 to get it out. But that didn't solve the problem of getting hay bales. I really wish tire companies still made steel wheels for everything.
Got my Case tractor stuck today. It broke through what looked like dry ground near the edge of a swamp. Fortunately I have a backhoe and outriggers on it. But the outrigger cylinder blew apart just as I was putting it down. No problem I thought, I will just turn off the tractor, ratchet up the outrigger and use the backhoe to get myself out. Well, my battery then died. Tonight we will have heavy thunderstorms and tomorrow have more rain. Going to have to do some more thinking to get out of this mess 😞. Your video gave me some ideas. It has been a tough day and I feel your pain on this one.
We were having fun getting the tractor unstuck. I tried working myself out with the bucket and got 6 feet forward and thought I had it but then had a deep hole in front of the tractor that I could no longer touch ground with the bucket. Cowboy in hat found this solution on youtube (someone else idea not mine. We wrapped a chain around the wheel and board through spaces in the rim. The board on the left side broke because it was just a 4x4 and cedar at that.
I'm sure the board wasn't supposed to break, but RR ties are heavy! It looks like they had the differential lock on so both wheels turned the same. If so, as long as one wheel as traction they'll get out. Also, I seriously doubt you'd snap the axle doing anything like this -- maybe if you were pulling something really heavy but even so you'd probably stall the engine or slip the clutch long before an axle gave.
Why did the left side board break, was that supposed to happen ? Or was that the side with all the traction and thats why the board broke . Also if you put the extra effort in it would rail road ties do better or would they snap the axle .
lot of work to chain that wood up like that .Just put 1 6x6 cross ways in front of 1 rear tire and lop the chain around 6x6 and tractor tire. Put diff lock on and slowly drive ahead. Wheel will lift right out of hole. PS watch out for valve stem.
I remember as a kid seeing a Cat scraper stuck so bad, they had to wait 'til the ground dried and then it drove out. Here's a forklift hint: Small, solid-tired lift trucks have little off-road capability. If the drive wheels lose traction, the wheels can be lifted by tilting the mast all the way back and placing wood under it. Then, tilt it back forward and if done right, wheels will come up allowing traction aids (read: wood) to be placed under drive tires. Love your Flintstone technology!
That's a good way to FLIP a tractor too. That's why the manual tells you to never do this. Should've never got it that deep. When you're stuck quit digging yourself deeper.
Very smart way of puncture the tyre(s). I bet with just laying those beams under the tyres and with a little help from that truck you would pull it out too.
Yes, they did it right. The biggest risk in this method is that if the driver isn't careful the tractor may flip over. But this tractor seems to be heavy from the front end, and the beams broke, so no problem at all.
1255XL did that 28 years ago using one big corner post, lowest gear diff lock ,worked a treat ,Sum of the old timers used to put a beam between the rear wheels across at the front then drop the clutch and jump it out ,was risky because no creeper gears ,Massive rear wheels that if you didn't stop again straight away then the beam would carry on around and take ur head off ,Not for the faint hearted Cheers From New Zealand
My question is how in the world did you even get that tractor THAT stuck to begin with, in the middle of all that dry grass and on level ground??... I like how they didn't show anything about how it got stuck in the first place, OR trying to get out with only the tractor's power itself first... I smell something fishy going on here! Lol!
Taking risks with your equipment (aka livelihood) so you do less work (aka lazy)? Not at all like the farmers i know, although they actually live off their farms and usually can't afford to play around like this instead of working... Maybe it's more of a hobby for you or something, which if that's the case, it does seem a really labor free way to get it done quickly...

if its out of the mud hole, it was done right
Anybody who has had a tractor hopelessly stuck understands this. Any trick that works is a blessing. @@williamhaynes7089

ive seen this done with fresh cut trees, thicker, stronger, wont break, but that worked!
he was about 6" away from an irreparable sidewall puncture.
Now off to the car wash to get all that mud off. Great job!
I used this same trick to dig out my yanmar. Works wonderfully!
Guy in my area when I was younger was killed using that "solution" not to mention the stories I have heard from neighbors about ruined rims and tires.

Quick thinking, except no ones guiding him when he almost punctures tire, luckily caught rim; everyone's videoing. Teamwork world

Funny things tractors,they go anywhere & then get stuck lol. Good luck&good vid.
i use to do that 25 years ago
Why not just use the bucket to get out?
huh, a guy might keep a few railroad ties around for something like this.
That was awesome. My tractor has been stuck in a field for about 2 weeks now. It hasn't been dry enough to get it out. How did you hook the chains up?
wow, that must have been a bad week
Why did the left side board break, was that supposed to happen ? Or was that the side with all the traction and thats why the board broke . Also if you put the extra effort in it would rail road ties do better or would they snap the axle .
lot of work to chain that wood up like that .Just put 1 6x6 cross ways in front of 1 rear tire and lop the chain around 6x6 and tractor tire. Put diff lock on and slowly drive ahead. Wheel will lift right out of hole. PS watch out for valve stem.
wow thanks I haven't got my new tractor stuff but if I do I know what i'm going to try
That's the old Russian Unstuck Tractor technique
I remember as a kid seeing a Cat scraper stuck so bad, they had to wait 'til the ground dried and then it drove out.
Here's a forklift hint: Small, solid-tired lift trucks have little off-road capability. If the drive wheels lose traction, the wheels can be lifted by tilting the mast all the way back and placing wood under it. Then, tilt it back forward and if done right, wheels will come up allowing traction aids (read: wood) to be placed under drive tires.

I bet with just laying those beams under the tyres and with a little help from that truck you would pull it out too.
Nope all you would do is spin on the beams as they would get covered in mud.They did it right.
Yes, they did it right.

Never go fowards when doing this you could be killed without ROPS! Just go reverse and you be good 👍 good stuff
That long haired guy is hot! His wife is a lucky woman!
จ
dude u should level it out with the digger
Man that is wild right there now .
Thats awesome. well done guys =D
And you end up with some firewood
Wow. That is some mud. Need bigger tires on that tractor I guess.
Swedish farmers
really NICE!
what size is that case??
"i learn it from a swedish farmer" hehe //Sweden
it is a 4wd ;)
Thanks

Was this an unexpected "sinkhole" that you drove through, or were you maybe trying to scoop out a hole with the bucket when you got stuck?
not a safe way of doing it you can have it pop the front end up and on to you with that trick if you are not carefull
ive walked 2 wheel drive tractors out of worse then that with the loader.
Neat idea, but my 4x4's broke when I tried this and I'm still stuck...
Ray Zeed Eyebrow Don't use 4x4s. Use some hardwood logs instead. Works so much better.
That dose not always work
fucking SMART!
I'm guessing this is the video that inspired you to try this ? :
/watch?v=o7UzxrdEs8Y
i dont call that a tractor his fucking jeep is stronger then it
