I've been stuck a lot of times over the years, mostly with manure spreaders that sink in stubble or plowed ground or some very wet years trying to chop silage... but the one that worried me the most was sinking a Cat D4 in a black bog while I was grubbing it down to hard pan. I was backing up onto the muck and pushing the muck and stumps forward and to the side... and decided to make one last push before I quit for the day. I got a stump hooked in the a frame hitch on the back and couldn't get off... with the dozer sinking. It was late in the year with some prospect of freezing down for the night... I was lucky enough to find enough dead wood around the chopping to crib under the tracks and jack the machine off with the blade. It wasn't a deep bog by any means and no real danger but I hate calling anyone to come in with a bigger machine to haul it out. I've never really worried about sticking anything else we own because the dozer can normally retrieve it... but didn't have anything at the time to retrieve the dozer. Now I worry about sticking a porter because I don't know if the dozer can remove that... and I really rather not find out.
Worst tractor mess we ever had... my brother bogged a NewHolland TS90 with a 4 bottom mounted plow. The tractor was hung on it's drawbar housing... on a rock... with the plow in the ground and fully raised. It required 3 tractors and over 150 feet of chain and cable to remove. We broke every chain we owned before that came loose.

As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
