You are very welcome. I am always so happy to hear that I have helped someone. Have a great week - glad your tractor is unstuck.
I spent a day digging and getting further stuck before seeing this in the evening. 5 minutes the next day and I was out! I owe you a huge thank you 🙏

@@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.

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!

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.

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 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.

@@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.
