I took my brothers 'rough terrain' manitou forklift down to our woods in early spring thinking it would be fine. We have to negotiate a steep bank that has a track across it. It started slipping sideways off the track and downhill. The more I tried to steer towards the track, the more the back end and counter weight pointed down hill. I gave up fighting and pointed the machine straight down the hill and probably hit 30mph with all four wheels driving the other way. I then spent 3 days with a winch, shovel and tractor getting it home.... So I understand your pain.
Your lucky that peat bog didn’t suck your tractor down , I’ve seen excavators disappear in that kind of ground , hopefully this is a valuable lesson to know your ground before driving or carrying work on it , Good Recovery 👍👍
Don't worry lad you're not the first and certainly won't be the last. Now that piece of land was definitely on the damp side.😉Another great video showing that things don't always go as you'd hope.
Everyone needs good neighbours, everyones done it, l stuck a tractor in a mossy bit, the back wheels were right down to the mud guards, nice tractor and stay well away from that area till the summer time.
If it makes you feel any better mate I was In the 7530 John Deere with full slurry bowser got stuck so got the 6210 Deere with front loader to help got that stuck so got the tele handler got that stuck as well in the end had to get the big hanamag that had a bucket on it that I could fit a small car In that pulled everything but the 7530 out that had to stay in the field for 2 weeks untill the ground dried up but you’ve got some wet bogs out your way also that poor dog nearly got it’s nose taken off by the strap hope your doing okay mate got some vids to send you just need to cut them down abit as there 3 hours long
Firstly may I say the man that never made a mistake made nothing. I can only offer to what happened to me with my brand new Kubota. The front axle fell down into a bog hole ,like were you were. Fortunately I has it in 2 wheel drive. I just put it in 4 wheel drive and backed out the tract I went in. May I suggest that if you have to go back there again do so in 2 wheel drive and if you get stuck use 4wd to back out and find another way.
🤦♂️ what do you expect with any tractor in a bog? They all get stuck now and again. Kubotas can do anything other tractors can do and there’s nothing bad about them. We have the same model as him and we use to have another one that we owned for over 4 years and we never ran into a problem with ot
Thank goodness for great friends and neighbors!!
What you like? We've all done it and you swear you'll never get stuck again, but....... you will. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to visit.
Cor blimey looks like quite a sticky situation, glad you got her out safely

Seems like never goes as planned if I’ve got something to do with it 😂
Great teamwork and problem solving. Lessons learnt. What life is all about.
