Nice! So any of your neighbors have one that size (or bigger)? Just asking what the plan is when you swamp 'er out good...
I have neighbors out here with tractors way bigger than that. Their tractors are worth more than their house.
Between the skidding winch and the bucket, I am not worried. My property is all on one side of a large hill. Surface mud, nothing bad. Anyone that buried a tractor that bad, should go to work at Walmart!!!
LOL... our potato farmers, up north in Aroostook county, have more than a few springtime stories of dual rear wheel tractors getting buried worse than that guy. I remember driving by a field up there, around 1975, and seeing quite a sight... totally buried tractor (top of tires) attached to 2 totally buried monster skidders... and they'd been there for a while, waiting for things to dry up. Ugh... So... it can happen...
It can happen true, if you hit a silt basin etc. why spin to the tip if tires though? The few times I witnessed this it was a newbie that thought they could drive a tractor or an Angry guy making life miserable. I have seen a 45k excavator just drop on soft ground as well, but a bigger machine was brought in before it got to the counterweight. Watch me bury this tractor today and eat my words!
