You're not really stuck until you have to take the machine apart and carry the pieces out one by one.
I believe that tractor was a Fordson Major...maybe a Super Major. Had one of those for a while. Great machine except for the pneumatic governor. I've had my Massey Ferguson 135 stuck a few times and used a very similar method to get it out.
If you are really stuck the loader won't get you out all it will do is dig holes in front of you.I've had many a tractor stuck bad enough you had to push yourself out with a loader.. them russians just weren't smart enough to have a bucket or forks
Yup and you only day dream once with that method cuz ya best be getting the clutch pushed when that muddy log socks ya in the back of the head.The ruskie used a variation on a method we use around here.
Instead of using the outside of the wheel, we chain off in front of both rear wheels so the tractor goes over the log.
Stay safe!

We normally reserve that stuff for those what in the world am I doing 200 yards out on a beaver pond in jan moments. It is normally the only way you can get them to climb back up on the ice. Most of the time we cut 2 pieces about 40" long and chain one to each tire, its a little safer.Yup!!! LOL!!! You been there eh?
Have used it a dozen times at least. Low gear, lowest range,idle, and feather touch on the clutch.
It helps having a partner with ya shoving a log under the tires as the tractor comes up, just in case you rock back, so ya don't have to stab at the brake and duck at the same time if ya slip. LOL!!
Got skirts on all the tractors now
Stay safe!
