4/ Just threw the ~ 75 lb 3-ton-lever-hoist over one shoulder and walked back. An hr or so of work got the tractor pulled back 30 feet, but lever hoist now out of free chain, so put it in reverse...and it was stuck.

6/ A shower, petting the dog, and a long think, and.. I think I can repair the riding mower throttle w a bit of epoxy, and I think the lever hoist is fine, but the break pads are quite snug bc of the amount of force I was putting on hoist, so... just need to apply muscle?

10/ Oh, I know the inchworm-bucket-trick. Been using it along w the 3 ton lever jack and the nylon recovery straps. Problem is that the ground is basically liquid in one spot, and once you hit that, inchworming on liquid doesn't do muchhttps://twitter.com/tax_endowments/status/1441892401153384452?s=19 …

unprofessor @tax_endowmentsReplying to @MorlockPI never used to get stuck. Put a winch on the truck, got stuck 3 times in 2 weeks. Re: tractor. Depending on how you are stuck you can use the loader bucket as a lever to get out. (Point bucket down vertically , push into ground, tilt bucket to horizontal , repeat.)3 replies 0 retweets 11 likesShow this thread -

14/ I would love an excavator! Priced them out, and it's in the realm of "Yeah, I could buy one...today...but that would be a really dumb decision, because I should swve for retirement instead."https://twitter.com/tax_endowments/status/1441894671819558914?s=19 …

unprofessor @tax_endowmentsReplying to @MorlockPSounds like its time to get the excavator out of the barn! (Of course that's also a good initial step to the ever popular getting-all-the-vehicles-stuck game :)) Good luck w rainy season. When it hits here I basically park everything.
