I wouldn't pull it out with the loader loaded. Very hard on the front spindles. Dump the load, the bucket can be used to walk yourself back.

Of course, been there, done that, anything I say is easy from the recliner here.

its the 3rd weekend we buried that 4020. ya think we woulda learned the first two times. last week was a lot worse, backhoe wouldn pull er out, had to get the other 4020. cut a few trees to get to it to. this was a lot easier.

That is not stuck, dump the load and push it out with it s own loader bucket.

Glad to see I'm not the only guy to do that!!

I was going to say the same thing. Walk it back with the loader.

Been there. Stuck my FWA tractor. I am convinced 4wd just gets you stuck deeper.

That ground looks soft enough you may not be able to push yourself out backwards with the bucket curl.

Only equipment I haven"t stuck - and hope I never do - is my dozer. But you never think you"re going to get stuck when you start out for the day.

Post a few pictures of you gettting it unstuck.

i used to tell car dealers that the difference between 4-wd and 2-wd drive is that, 4-wd get you fifty feet further in the ditch and fifty dollars more to get pulled out....and who said you can't get green machines stuck...lol now you need a red to pull it out...lol couldn't resist a joke..

Hey.......That's a real good start.Just dig it in a little more and cover it up :shock:

Take the loader off first, it'd look real nice on a decent red tractor :lol:

its creek silt with fine stone and sand,waterlogged just under the surface, just about like quicksand. tried pushing out with the bucket,it just sinks deeper. if you spin the rear tires, it will drop in to the axles. i stuck my backhoe in this stuff a number of times, found its jut best to stop, hook up a chain and ease it out of there. i need to get these islands out of the waterway before the fall rains. i'll post some pics of what is happeneing in there.

Don't you just hate that?
I was hauling a load of leaves in a tandem,
got out, walked it, no problem.
Got back in the truck to pull up and dump.
About an hour or so later (what should have been less than 5 minutes), and some ingenuity with tree limbs,
brush, and rocks, and I was on my way again.
Had it sunk up to the axles, too!
Amazed me I got it out of there without a recovery vehicle.
By the way, I was WORE OUT after that

Hey Rick KR--

You've heard what they say four wheel drive is good for?
Gets ya stuck 50 yards farther down the road and a bigger towing bill, lol.
:lol:
Hey, I have four wheel drives, not knockin' 'em, just heard that once and thought it was funny.

Whoooppppsssss..........
