3/ the tractor sunk in until the front and rear wheels were basically covered (the brush hog on the back served as sort of a "snow shoe", keeping the back up on the surface...a bit). I had to disconnect the brushhog & winch it out of the way then I started in on the tractor

Chesterton's tree (h/t @bdunbar )
You can see the 3-ton chain lever hoist therepic.twitter.com/dM1UdtJb0r
5/ here it is on stable [ -ish ] ground, about 15-20 feet back from where it started. Went to fire it up and see if I could drive out, and ... battery dead. Must have turned lights on with my knee. So...got the jumper pack >>>pic.twitter.com/ormpsnmu8g
6/ ...and need to head out there and see what I can do. Man, moving that tractor back 15-20 feet horizontally and ~ 3' up vertically was some of the harder work I've ever done. Had to dig down UNDER front wheels to get the ramps in... digging baby diarrhea from under water
7/ fren, this kinda mud LAUGHS at a ~500 lb strength come-along the FIRST time I did this (!@#! !!!!) I went out and bought a 3-ton lever jack https://twitter.com/planefag/status/1442943729229127681 …
13/ it was something like 8 hours of work, digging and winching one of the best work outs I've had in my life now I just need to get out there, jump it, and see if I can drive out...
14/
no
last time I did it, tho, I sank in deep enough that the fuel filter housing sheared off ... so this time as soon as I started sinking I hopped off and dug a hole under the fuel filter !

15/ thought about winches a few months back hwoever first: I trust ratings from Jet ; not so sure I trust them from Harbor Freight second: I didn't have a second vehicle to mount it to, or a source of DC powerhttps://twitter.com/LakeWAlife/status/1442946474933841921 …
