malkiserow Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) Welll I did it tonight ...... Got the wagon stuck way out on the farm ...... More rain than I thought. Had to call the farmer and ask if I could use a tractor to yank the old girl out. Anyone else had to do this?

colin lad Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 try to avoid this as the farmer is also my boss and he would love this to happen so he could take the mikky for the next 6 months colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgguinness Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Got my Disco stuck last year, late one night. She wasn't going anywhere. Was out with my son too, who was 8 at the time. Farmer was away for the week with his family. Would have been a 2 mile walk with Son and rifle to get either my Series or a tractor. Called a few lads who were either out on the beer or in bed. Eventually spoke to a good mate who was out lamping on a nearby farm, he came to my rescue, top lad. Told my mate the farmer and he wished he was at home and therefore able to rib me for months about it ha!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Done it in my 4x4. The farmer was great, brought out the tractor and chain and hook that looked like it could lift the Titanic. Pulled me out virtually sideways as if mine was a toy. Frankly I felt an idiot but there was a great sense of relief when it was free.

Frankly I felt an idiot but there was a great sense of relief when it was free. I got some monster Case tractor with 4x4 and double wheels in each corner........ Pulled my old girl out in reverse so I could see what I was doing. It pulled my wagon out like it was made by Tonka!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Haha! It's amazing how much traction and power a modern tractor has. They can quite easily rip pieces off of a standard 4x4 if they get stuck hard enough and the strap/chain doesn't give first. I don't remember ever getting stuck anywhere I didn't expect to. Apart from the odd time when a farmer has said "you've got no chance of getting that through the gateway at the end of the field but by all means try it if you think know better". Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet1747 Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) Only time I did and it was in the field opposite were I live wife and daughter came out with spades and dug and pushed ,all I'm saying is I was clean in the drivers seat Edited September 15, 2013 by bullet1747 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are quite special aren't they, not too long back I got mu Hilux with stock trailer stuck, went and got our big JCB 4x4 telehandler, low and behold got that bloody thing stuck too. Our Fendt pulled all three out, in a train like fashion, hardly any PTO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mat Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 I broke down on the farm one day, had to get towed back to the yard and farmer called his father in law to come and fix my landy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper3 Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 yep..happend to me once, and i was at the entrance to the field, i didn't have the 4x4 so thought better not enter.... so parked on the verge, and ...got stuck .... anyway, returned the favour when his tractor had a puncture , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinggun Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) I got my car stuck once, parked at the end of a long grass track about a mile from the road, when me and dad came back the wheels were sunk so i told him to drive while i wound the passenger window down and pushed, Dad managed after some struggle to get it out and i got sprayed head to toe and it all came in the open window covering the passenger seat, dads first thought was to take a picture of me covered with his mobile as he couldn't stop laughing.

bobt Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 our keeper had an IFOR on the back of his mitsi truck, as he set off it didnt move, he scratted about for half an hour diging himself deeper, finally rang one of the lads to pull him out with a tractor, other lad came, had a look at the situation, took the handbrake off the trailer and drove the mitsi out, he still gets reminded about it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Over the years I have been stuck many times . Farmer or one of the tractor drivers will always come and pull me out . On the other side of the coin I have pulled the farmer out with a tractor when he has been stuck ploughing . Harnser . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
