[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 183772, member: 3162"] The tractor pulls itself. Take a chain and tie it back to itself through the tractor's rear wheel. (just loop the chain through the wheel and around the tire and hook it back to itself) Take the other end of the chain and tie it to a tree trunk or fixed object with as little slack as possible. Put the tractor in low gear (usually in reverse) and ease out on the clutch. The chain in the wheel will pull against the fixed end and either the tractor moves as the wheel tightens or else you pull the fixed object out of the ground. As long as you have a tree close by, or enough chain to reach one a long ways off, you can always unstick a tractor. The tire literally climbs the chain once it gets under the tire. I once sunk a bulldozer and did the same thing except I stuck the open end of the hook onto the track cleat and tied the other end to a tree. I expected the chain to break but instead the bull dozer pulled itself out. [/QUOTE]
