@danielthomason5685 🤦🏼♂️Spoken like a true young man. With not a lot of life experience. As a Ford man my whole life. In situations like this.

Man these are great I never knew so many tools for the trade existed fun to watch just goes to show how the right tools and the right knolage can accomplish so much
I just had to pull my lawn mower out of the ditch with my 8000 pound Ram diesel yesterday. Left some pretty deep ruts in the yard. It's funny that this video would pop-up today.
I enjoyed watching as I do mud recoveries myself. Sometimes I may pick up on something that I would or wouldn’t do. Fine job getting yourself free. Anyhow, good job and thanks for sharing.
You better be prepared, especially in Florida, we have sand, mud, water and gumbo clay, and a Jeep Rubicon with long arm suspension raised four to six inches with a minimum of 35 in. Mud grip tires, and a big winch, post hole digger and a treatef post that will fit in the back of your jeep in case you can't reach a tree!😊😊😊😊😊😊
This video showed us several different ways of getting yourself unstuck without even a tree to use. This poor guy is going to have to do some work on this field, when it dries some, before he can ever mow it with that zero turn again. Another great job but a lot of work.
At 6:58 I believe you would have backed out but the cable to your winch was still hooked up and pulled you back in. I think I would have done the winch extension from step one to avoid getting stuck myself. I would have charged an arm & a leg for this rescue x3.
So much for the light truck concept. In that kind of mud when a mower gets stuck, don't share the same ground with them. I've done what you are doing in the swamp land of Texas. My Jeep was even lighter than yours and got stuck sometimes too.
I built a dirt pad for a mobile home in a field like this. It hadn’t rained for several days. I worked for a few hours and it slowly started getting muddy. Then out of nowhere my machine sunk to the frame on a spot I had driven over multiple times that day.
Got into a deal like that hunting in east texas where we got 3 tractors and 3 pickups stuck and the ground was shifting under us. We’d park 50yds away and they’d sink while we were rigging.
I used to think J.E.E.P. stood for JUNK. EACH. & EVERY. PIECE. .... nope it really means JUST. EXTRACT. EVERY. PERSON . lmao great job man love your channel
Hey Matt !! Maybe when it's in the high 90's down there ,,they can get out & fix that field as MAYBE dry by then ???? 🤔🙄😏 Great recoveries anyways with the ""SOFT"" conditions !!!! Good that you had your ""PULL PAL "" with you on that 1 !!!! HAHA 🙄🤔👀👀👀👍👍👍👍👍
I wouldn't say it went bad Matt, just part of the job mate, surely if they are spinning their wheels it just digs in more rather than just being in neutral.
Sorry to criticise the second recovery effort at the beginning, after watching many videos where soft ground causes a vehicle to drop to its belly, I would have thought you would never follow in the exact wheel tracks off the stuck vehicle. Obviously this section the ground is already compromised
It's going to be interesting to see in Florida that as the water tables continue to climb more land will be as good as a marsh. This must have been after some heavy rains. Don't mow after the rains......
Seems a bit of laziness or perhaps optimism played a huge part in self stucking yourself. As close as you were to the 2nd truck you were fortunate to have enough room to steer around pulling yourself out.
They had a large event down the road from me and had all parking in a large 20 acre cornfield. They thought it was dry and it was until the 20th car drove in the same tracks as previous cars. It quickly turned into the county mud bog. 4x4 trucks and jeeps eventually started getting hung up. Close neighbors drove their side by sides down and tried pulling people out. They were no match for trucks, Jeep’s and vans. I spent 5 hours running a tractor pulling them out. One particular jeep boy just wanted unstuck and he could drive the rest of the way out. After failing twice and having to pull him out multiple times, I left her in high gear and plowed the ground with him to the road. Lightness is great but seeing the lawnmower buried should have been a sign it’s sticky.
I stuck a tracked excavator in a field just like that in Lake Wales once. Puzzled me as it seemed dry but break the crust, and you're done. The vibration of the machine sunk it to the turntable in 45 minutes. Had a 70-ton wrecker winch me out.
My 2 cents:- a long rope, allowing the jeep to use its winch from somewhere higher and out of the bog, would have paid for itself 20x over here. It beggared belief that he kept driving the jeep back into the same bottomless mud hole, expecting a different outcome.
Even I was kind of laughing but I also remember that you guys are criticizing but it's tough when you're out there in the field compared to when you're at your computer desk so give the guy some credit
Live in rural texas,and I've literally had to go pull my wife out of the mud in her friend's driveway lol instead of getting some rock, they just get taller tires every year lol
This one video reminds me of the time my dad didn’t take me fishing and he wanted to take his brother only because he didn’t see them very often and they were visiting him from Texas so they went with out me I was upset about it because we always went fishing together so long story 8 hours later he got home and he said that they were biting good and said that we would go back there after he brother go back to Texas so I was like really upset about the fish they had when he dropped the boom that he didn’t even get a line in the water on the way there they got High centered and they tried everything imaginable to get out and dad didn’t have a four wheel drive so they got really stuck anyway he said they tried going back and forth between the two paths and they slide down into the area that everyone else avoided it at all cost because it was deep and so they are stuck there for eight hours and his boss was fishing in the same area and he pulled them out and gave them his stringer of blue cats 😅so if they was a moral too the story is don’t leave me at home next time I thought 😅
Why do you get so close to pull people out? Just curious, I always give myself 15-20 feet or more if I can that way I don’t have to unspool again or re rig and the possibility of getting stuck with the truck I’m recovering.
I told them I would, they said no. Was kinda annoying that we broke the crust and fell in, but also allowed me to test some self recovery techniques. We also have a new rear bumper on order that will have a rear winch. It would have been handy to use the land anchor and just pull us backwarrds at the beginning
@@harpintn it’s been in the plan for awhile, we are stock piling parts at the moment. I’m about two weeks we are putting the jeep down and doing a whole list of stuff to it. A complete make over and a rear winch is one of them with the new rear bumper
Just found your channel and I'm watching things in somewhat reverse order. I don't wanna be that guy, but I must say she looks so much better with the original 7-slot grille. 0|||||||0. Either way, keep up the good work in the swamp and on the editing screen.
@@matt.mckinzie I'm not a fan of other grills in Jeeps but as the other guy said I agree with it. It's your Jeep. I'll stick with the stock grill in my JT. I like the mods you have done to your JT. I still want to install a rear winch on mine, front one is good for a lot of things but for self recovery the rear is better, (IMHO) My Gladiator would be stuck as the F250 if in that mud, I've got to much stuff in it.
Great example of why the first order of business is to be able to self recover. If you can't then you are of no help to others.
Be easier with a bigger lift and tires and he woulda never had that problem
I think he’s fixed the lift/tire “problem” now
Be better with a real recovery vehicle...jeep is a joke
@@danielthomason5685 he seems to do fine with what he’s using.

Tough conditions, but you got 'em out. The Pull-Pal earned its keep that day.
absolutely, staying positive we were glad the customers were cool and didn't mind us spending time to test self recovery techniques after sinking.
I love the way you arrive, analyze the situation, formulate a plan and execute it.
😂
It's a dang pond that grew hair on it!
It's a truck eater!
This is the most time-consuming way I've ever seen someone till a field

Very good, nothing better than a good Jeep and a good driver.
Thanks 4 the show
Great job getting them and yourself out. That anchor setup is cool!
Definitely a useful tool
I like seeing recovery videos from my neck of the woods,good jobs guys and good advice that was given during, keep up with the good work guys
I enjoyed watching as I do mud recoveries myself. Sometimes I may pick up on something that I would or wouldn’t do. Fine job getting yourself free. Anyhow, good job and thanks for sharing.
Thank you for being real. I shared with Matt's towing recovery because he needs to see how to fight mud without recovery vehicles to save his bacon.
I'm glad that ZTR mower didn't have to pull the jeep out!
😂
@@matt.mckinzie
Well- At least you didn't have to get the mower out! 🙄
(Blame it on the mower!)
Glad to see you back in action Matt.
we never stopped, they just been all boring jobs you guys don't wanna see
@@matt.mckinzie Well maybe you should go 50mph on a 90ft rope, lol lol just kidding

Yeah he was going to weed whack the field
I recommended a pull behind brush hog and four wheeler
Excellent recovery all the way around

What a muddy mess. Good recovery in the end!
F250 had highway air in the tires still.
An fx4 has lockers front and rear.
Good recovery
Well done sir! That was some nasty 💩👍🏼🤩🫡❤️
Ohhhh I've been watching his newer vids. I bet this is the job that lead to the knobby tires and rear-mounted winch that he's got now!!
Thats what i call a soggy mess - but being able to self recover is always the first thing to get right... Well done !
So much for the light truck concept. In that kind of mud when a mower gets stuck, don't share the same ground with them. I've done what you are doing in the swamp land of Texas. My Jeep was even lighter than yours and got stuck sometimes too.
Sucks getting stuck. But you are great! Got everything out! Great job!
I live on Amelia Island FL. Have a 1996 TJ Wrangler and a 2022 Gladiator. I will definitely keep your number handy. Love your videos.
Great recoveries. I learned several techniques from this video.
Love how these guys you pull out have these pretty pavement princess trucks that have crappy tires on a 4x4
Yeah,pretty much all trucks come with crap tires,and if you're gonna off-road you definitely want the real stuff lol
Those Flag Ponds are tricky,about two ins. of grass on the top then two ft. of gumbo mud.
Everyone should have one of those anchors that things is impressive if you know how to operate it 😅
following other people's tracks is almost never wise, unless it's snow where you know there's something solid below.
I built a dirt pad for a mobile home in a field like this. It hadn’t rained for several days. I worked for a few hours and it slowly started getting muddy. Then out of nowhere my machine sunk to the frame on a spot I had driven over multiple times that day.
What did the guy with the zero turner think he was going to do? Those things get stuck in mud puddles! Ha!
Got into a deal like that hunting in east texas where we got 3 tractors and 3 pickups stuck and the ground was shifting under us. We’d park 50yds away and they’d sink while we were rigging.
Lol, welcome to Callahan. Nothing like gumbo clay.
Pul pal to the rescue!!
I like your recovery videos👍
Would adding an extra winch at the back of you Jeep be a good idea ?
If you get your Jeep stuck in SW Florida ?... Call Captain Ron in Naples... We operate a fleet of Humvees ..
Gotta love them 4x4 with tires that just fill up with mud then stop working lol
Awesome, patience wins the day.
I used to think J.E.E.P. stood for JUNK. EACH. & EVERY. PIECE. .... nope it really means JUST. EXTRACT. EVERY. PERSON . lmao great job man love your channel
You notice that it is an older jeep.
@johnphillips2396 nope didn't notice that... don't really know jeeps just know this guy's is very skookem
learning so much from this channel. Thank you!
lol!! It’s always the diesels getting stuck. Power is not the answer when you have is an anchor on the front of your vehicle.
Mattracks is really needed for your jeep, awesome videos
Only if they wasn’t 20k and could go faster then 40
Now that was some serious doo doo right there!😂
Hey Matt !! Maybe when it's in the high 90's down there ,,they can get out & fix that field as MAYBE dry by then ???? 🤔🙄😏 Great recoveries anyways with the ""SOFT"" conditions !!!! Good that you had your ""PULL PAL "" with you on that 1 !!!! HAHA 🙄🤔👀👀👀👍👍👍👍👍
The pull pal was one of the first pieces of gear we bought starting the business. Being able to self recover is a must in this line of work.
I love how “laidback” u seem and I think there is no job u can’t do. 😊or u just don’t video share🙃🙃🥴🥴💖🥰love watchin u all
I believe you got some meatier tires since this video.
I wouldn't say it went bad Matt, just part of the job mate, surely if they are spinning their wheels it just digs in more rather than just being in neutral.
That big and heavy diesel engine isn't your friend in a situation like that.
pull-pal for the win
Absolutely
Never dig your self some holes on purpose in a swamp😂
We didn’t
The wife was mistaken
Great job but i would've never came in in his tracks because the ground was already broken
Your very good at what you
Great job. I assume that what inspired you to get the big chunky dirt digger tyres! Keep up the good work
Must be an underground spring right there
Sorry to criticise the second recovery effort at the beginning, after watching many videos where soft ground causes a vehicle to drop to its belly, I would have thought you would never follow in the exact wheel tracks off the stuck vehicle.

How do they not have a tractor for that pasture? Dad is going to be upset it's all tore up!
It's going to be interesting to see in Florida that as the water tables continue to climb more land will be as good as a marsh. This must have been after some heavy rains. Don't mow after the rains......
Seems a bit of laziness or perhaps optimism played a huge part in self stucking yourself. As close as you were to the 2nd truck you were fortunate to have enough room to steer around pulling yourself out.
We definitely should have stayed farther back
Little too comfortable in the lightness of the jeep
Drove across it fine once then twice
Then boom
They had a large event down the road from me and had all parking in a large 20 acre cornfield. They thought it was dry and it was until the 20th car drove in the same tracks as previous cars.

The Truck Got Stuck, like the song by Corb Lund. (2005)
It's as dry as toast here in Lakeland. I don't how it's muddy up there.
all depends on where your at, we have dry as a desert areas. And then swamp marsh areas
I stuck a tracked excavator in a field just like that in Lake Wales once. Puzzled me as it seemed dry but break the crust, and you're done. The vibration of the machine sunk it to the turntable in 45 minutes. Had a 70-ton wrecker winch me out.
Damn. He needs to sale that mower and get himself some cows. LOL
We told him to get a cow 🐄 too 😆
Better go with a couple of goats. If a cow gets stuck it is much harder to lift😉
@@harpintn 🤣
It's funny me watching these videos made go out and put the winch on my Jeep that I got 2 years ago lol
Phone rings…. Off recovery and field plowing service, what’s the location of the field you need completely destroyed today?
Good old North Florida gumbo soon as your Treads full you can't move
My 2 cents:- a long rope, allowing the jeep to use its winch from somewhere higher and out of the bog, would have paid for itself 20x over here.
It beggared belief that he kept driving the jeep back into the same bottomless mud hole, expecting a different outcome.
We 100% agree and added more ropes to our gear since this
Need a 100 hp John Deere and an 18’ batwing bush hog to mow that field.
Without the land anchor that would have been a total disaster
WHAT A MESS...crazy...For what they probably paid y'all to extract all that, they could put winches on both the trucks.
Even I was kind of laughing but I also remember that you guys are criticizing but it's tough when you're out there in the field compared to when you're at your computer desk so give the guy some credit
would airing down the tires give you more traction, Matt?
That is going to be some ground under repair fro awhile
This is when you need about 2,000 feet of winch cable
we have about 600 in the jeep at all times, we just didn't expect to sink.
😂
I don't think that the Tundra doesn't have the crawl mode to it like the Tacoma has. It still won't work in mud like that
What a mess!!
Live in rural texas,and I've literally had to go pull my wife out of the mud in her friend's driveway lol instead of getting some rock, they just get taller tires every year lol
Pretty sure I can push a lawnmower by my self, I've gotten them stuck before. Got 2 bros there and they decided to take the expensive route.
I have used Danforth boat anchors to free vehicles, but what is the brand of anchor you are using?
This one is a pull pal
So they get the half ton 4x4 stuck, then decide it's a good idea to bring the super duty out there...
Lady , you need to say something when 5he lawnmower is gonna hit the fence , not just stare at it
I wish the camera person wouldn't squeal and holler
I think his wife does a great job, especially her added comments.

I’ve recovered more lawnmowers than other vehicles with my winch. Lol
🤣🤣🤣
What brand and pound winch do you have on your Jeep?
I'm wondering about the cost for this work?
Prime example of why you don’t follow others tracks..
Just curious what something like this would cost if someone needed your service. $1000?
Rookies...no body knows how to drive offroad
..sad when the recovery guy a bigger rookie than everyone else
