You ain't stuck till you need a 60 ton crane to pull you out. Neighbor of my brother's called him up needed a "pull" from his "biggest tractor". Before even firing up his 1456 he drove over to take a look. Guy had a big (size?) John Deere 4 wheel drive buried to the axles and beyond. My brother laughed and told him he was wasting his time looking for another tractor to pull him out - he needed a fair sized dozer at least. Couldn't find a dozer available but a local crane operator happened to be off that afternoon and also just happened to have the needed pulley set up. The crane was tested a bit dragging that thing out. The farmer was a bit miffed when his bill came to $600. Didn't help him any when I told him most operators would have charged a minimum of $1000 for any part of a day a crane that size was in operation. When I was younger my dad had a bad habit of handing us boys a shovel to dig out anything we happened to get stuck. Thought we'd learn to stay the **** out of the wet spots after digging in mud for 3 to 8 hours. One brother holds the record having to dig a trench the width of the tractor (856) for over 40 feet at varying depths over the course of two days with occasional visits from my dad to give him a "word" (and boot) of encouragement. Over twenty years ago and he still complains about it.

When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
