Unstuck by Truck

Craig took the tractor to scoop poo out of the field about three weeks ago. The mud beside the cow shed apparently resented his efforts to drive out there. Here was the result:


We tried several methods to get the tractor out of the field. We put boards under the bucket and tried to climb out of the mudhole using the bucket. No joy. We tried to pull it out with Craig's truck. No joy, and we almost got the truck stuck. Then we tried rigging up a "come-along" with some chains to pull it out. I swear I heard the mud snickering at us.

Today, Dad and my brother Aaron came over to lend a hand. We cut the fence behind the tractor, then chained Aaron's Suburban to the tractor and Craig's truck to Aaron's truck. Little by little, the tractor came loose from the sucking (in more ways than one) mud. Yay!


Here they are, the tractor saving trio!



Now to fix the gaping hole left in the field by old Allis.
