What is the worst you have ever seen or heard of a tractor, combine, etc getting stuck. While working for a custom harvester a number of years ago a combine was stuck pretty bad, but the worst would have to be a versatile tractor that got stuck in North Dakota about 10 years ago. After burying it fairly bad, the guy got 1000ft of cable to pull it out... unfortuneately that just buried it to about halfway up the rad. I don't know how they ever got it out.

Reminds me of that new song I've been hearing lately.

" The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck
But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up
But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut,
Which eventually pulled out the Ford
With some difficulty

Well more rain than we’d seen for a thousand years
Caused financial joys and biblical fears
It caused some smiles it caused some tears But more to the point of our story
For The first time in the collective memory, That old brown prairie that had been so dry for so long was very muddy
Boggy and sticky
We’d pull one truck out and get another stuck in And motors would roar and tires would spin
We’d sink right down, down to the diff, and we’d all take turns and do it again
Till no one could move, we’d call one more friend,
Come on out here, we need you…bring your truck

The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck
But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up
But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut Which eventually pulled out the Ford
And the Dodge

They got me stuck in the mud, so they couldn’t rehearse
And Chavase too has missed his work
Richie, he now fears the worst, he stood up his ex wife she called him a jerk
Course Holman didn’t have nothing better do to, ‘cept ranch.

The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck
But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up
But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut Which eventually pulled out the Ford

Well it was truck after truck, we all got stuck
‘cept the big old four by hutterite truck
We all thought “lord are we in luck!”
But he wouldn’t come anywhere near us,
Mighty neighborly, mighty neighborly.

So we used a lot of our backs, a little of our brains
We jacked up the jacks, and snugged up the chains,
We all did our very best to refrain from shovelin’.
We put what timber we had, underneath the wheels
And we was all out of sand, but managed to steal
Two sacks of the best modern canola seed you ever did see,
That ‘oughta give us some traction

The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck
But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up
But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut Which eventually pulled out the Ford

We spilled genetically modified canola seed That was genetically modified for controlling the weeds
And for big old yields and margarine oil, raised hell all over that native prairie soil
Agriculture Canada is definitely gonna be looking for us

Not stuck, but my Dad picked up a large rock in the track of a D-4 Cat while doing a creek crossing in about 3' of water. In the spring during the snow melt Butte Creek in Oregon gets very cold. I was the one that had to get in the water with a very large steel bar to guide the track back on while Dad drove the CAT.

BRRR!!!!! !!

Good Luck and N-JOY!!!!! !

No. The Butte Creek I speak of is about 20 miles NE of Salem above Scotts Mills, Oregon. I moved to Montana 25 years ago and have no regrets. I still have family in the Salem area and make it back there every few years.

Good Luck and N-JOY!!!!! !!

The worst I ever helped with was the neighbors crawler in over the tracks. I had a 4X4 tractor hooked to the rear of the crawler with a bucket of gravel to add weight to my front end. Once i got in gear and started pulling he threw the winch in gear. It was either going to come out or break something. Lucky for me it came out.

Don't know it you know about it- but on the left side of this page, under "Galleries", is a section called "Stuck and Troubled"- just looked at it, and it has 1,002 pics of stuck tractors and such.
