I know many of you are struggling with rain and soft ground. So to make you feel better this is my episode. Fertilizing hay field got buried bad. Log skidder was nearby so pulled out tractor what a mess. Truck went through a road, light gravel on top of junk soil. Had to be towed. Have some fields look like jello, May is not looking good. Share your stories.

Sprayed for some alfalfa weevil this week. Polaris 4-wheeler with a J&M 32.5 foot sprayer. It has a 150 gallon tank but I only loaded 50 at a time. Slow going but cheaper than an airplane.
Rice tires on the lawnmower would be handy. 65 miles NE of St.Louis Mo. Only got one tenth last night.

Where are you located?
Cold wet spring again, planted oats May 5th last year, May 6th this year, going to be lousy poor test weight again. 4th wet year in a row.
Didn?t get stuck anyhow yet this year, but only did 17 acres, and it?s raining today.
Getting stuck in a hay field is the pits, it messes up the field for several years crop.

You've not been really stuck until you can just step off of the platform into standing water.

Been there and done that. But not this year. I have not even bothered to install the duals on the 2090 so far and don't think I am going to need them. Dry and dusty here.

One of my neighbors got a 4wd compact tractor stuck in his front yard just trying to mow the grass.

I got stuck once last winter without the tractor even running. It just sat there and the ground got so soft the tractor sank down to the axles sort of like quicksand.

Yesterday when I was planting a neighbor across the fence was stuck on a sidehill. He got himself out but as he worked himself across the field he was going around wet spots. I was working on the same hill he was only on the other side and getting through without sinking in. In my neck of the woods we have not seen a dry spring since I don t remember when.

Sometimes growing rocks has its advantages. At least there's a bottom to the mud.
She wasn't all that easy to get out,but we got it. We got off to the right with the FWA tractor so when we pulled,it was taking it sideways. The left tire came up first,then the right. Thought sure we'd bury the other tractor too. It settled down in to the ground pretty good before this one popped out.

Actually it was four cylinder. It was my Case 210B. I had parked it before the rain to load firewood and after a few days of rain had quit I went down there to do it and found the tractor had sunk.

Yes, I posted the picture. I don't remember where I saw it....somewhere on the internet.
Pond up at the folks. The big grate over the box got plugged with crap. Pond was just below flowing over the road. Well over three feet extra deep. I was up to me knees with a fifteen foot long bamboo pole and finnaly got some of the grate poked open. What was incredibly handy were my polarized fishing sun glasses. You could see down through the water and see everthing. Neat!!
