Probably the oddest "stuck" I ever was was in the woods, skidding a tree with the old 600 Ford. The tree hung up while I was on a side slope, the wheels spun and the tractor slid sideways. It was stopped when it slid up against a 10" tree. The tractor got sort of hooked on the tree, the tree being in between the rear tire and the tranny/diff. Couldn't go backwards due to slope, couldn't go forward due to tree. Trying to remove it by towing or just about any movement would have probably destroyed everything on that side of the tractor, so the only way to get it out was to take down the tree. It was pretty tricky dropping a tree that size in that situation without killing myself and/or the tractor, but we got it done...
Oh, and I chewed myself out pretty good for that one!
