Fordson tractor stuck in the mud

[TheArty1561]

Smart thinking

[TobbE941028]

Ferguson would not be stuck...

[99XM]

GET METAL WHEEL YOU DONT GET STUK ANYWHERE, LIKE IN THE OLD TIMES.

[wvkehoeyt]

This video really helped me out. I had my Ford 3930 nearly up to its hubs in thick, clayey mud. The PTO was buried and was gouging more mud in reverse. It did help that I had a large brush cutter hanging off the 3 point hitch. One refinement suggestion: cut a groove in the logs where the chain wraps around to prevent the logs from slipping. Here's my video is at v=o7UzxrdEs8Y

[barfly707]

Excellent!!! Thanks for the lesson, You saved me hours of jacking and playing with boards, etc. Worked really really well - Thanks!!!

[Jonbeee]

Låter som bohuslänningar... De "iiiiiiiiiar" ;)

[okrafoot]

that was sexy

[Carondriver]

schlechte Idee isches nit, aber wenn so Dreckig isch fährt ma au nit rein.

[mgospeed31]

Is this Fordson a Dexta?

[ToFlatOut]

ah,foreign country style

[farmerricho]

for the stupid people commenting on the front cable.....lol

the cable was used @ the front because it was been pulled out @ the same time,most likely from another tractor......lol

thumbs up if your a stupid americanT

[ThaLacerator]

@farmerricho there was no other tractor ;)

[TheHuntr93]

my buddy just got his tractor stuck last night tryin to get his truck out. might have to try this. definitely not going forward tho. i dont like when the wheels lift off the ground

[bluemarlin314]

Homer Simpson did the same thing with THE BOOT in NYC. :)

[ssmarilyn]

I think they have a cable attached to the front of the tractor to keep the nose down.

[countryboy77351]

You wont flip it over if your senseable and cover the clutch at all times, frotn end comes to high, mash the clutch, down ya go.

[magprob]

Would this be against the rules at a mud bog event?

[Cohonees]

I can't believe I live In that country....I thought It was Russia!!!

[oldtimeway1]

Meget god! Meget god! Mange mange takke for fin og Smukke Idé

[zlonkk]

aw crap was hoping for a nice "in sovjet russia" comment

[kamratframjandet]

Fyndigt! Och jag tyckte jag var smart när jag la granris runt julen för att komma loss ur snön med Volvon.

[weetikissa]

They stole the idea from the Norwegians: Ø

[6evorev6]

Ya we put trees across cat tracks when the get bogged down, however this method is quite dangerous because you are putting the stick vertically instead of laterally, they do it this way because you just have to put it on once

[cocomaan]

Where was that?

[brunoschalch]

and now, who wants to play farmville?

[m1dlguk]

Now if they'd placed a large rug under the wheels and stood clear, hit a low number gear they'd have done the job without wasting a day chaining the wheels up, and without the risk of toppling over.

[iharding123]

According to that logic you should never drive your tractor forward. They need some weights on the front of it, if it's going to be pulling any kind of load.

[johngomm]

@iharding123 Things that are likely to stop forward motion, like ploughs, are joined by triple point linkages partly to provide a stiff "tail" to stop the torque flipping the tractor. Tractor accidents are more frequent than you'd think and I doubt you can find a lifetime farmer who doesn't know someone injured by one of the many powerful turning, crushing, slipping, tipping or cutting actions that the machines are capable of generating.

Weights can be attached to the front also.

[SuicideDog]

crazy swedes doin stuipid things

[BalthazarL]

haha!

Underbart! kör hårt grabbar!

[stevetork]

DANGER. DON'T EVER DO THIS! This video should have a prominent warning to never drive a stuck tractor forward. What these guys did is very dangerous. When you drive a stuck tractor forward, the wheel torque lifts the front end up. It can easily flip the vehicle backwards. People have been killed doing this. Always back up a stuck tractor. The torque will push the front end down instead of lifting it. And reverse often has higher torque.

[KustomKlassix]

@stevetork Hey numbnuts, that's probably what the cable hooked to the front of it was for...der.

[stevetork]

@KustomKlassix There was nothing maintaining tension on the cable. As soon as the tractor moved forward a little the cable went slack and the front of the tractor pitched up about 2 feet. They were close to a rollover. Of course the flimsy crane and cab structure might have prevented a complete 180 flip. You might want to do some research on safe tractor operating practices. Until then, stay off the farm.

[DimathVideo]

@stevetork It was tide-up in front.

[onecuwldood]

@stevetork , It looks like they do have some sort of cable to hold the tractor from flipping over backward. I'm with markd3925, great idea! There are times in the past I wish I'd thought of something like this.

[318Captain]

@stevetork If you watch, they have cables on the front end.

[stevemic]

@stevetork you can see they had a cable connected to the front axle so it would not flip over

[6x47]

@stevetork Great idea! I wonder If I could apply it without ripping the fenders off my truck?

I agree with the above warning in the case of an old style farm tractor but this tractor has been modified for skidding timber so the boom and structure would eliminate the danger warned of and then there is the protective cage over the driver.

[catothewiser]

@stevetork - good tip!

[midgetBIL]

@stevetork i notice there are some cable/chain that anchor the front end to prevent it from lifting.

[Ar85naud]

@stevetork Depends. If you have a tool on the three-point hitch that is long,you can do this without great risks,if you do not have a tool on the three-point,NEVER do this!

This is also right for tractor tugs of war,because the tool will hit the ground and prevent the tractor from flipping.

[errorserver3000]

@stevetork I made your 100'th like :)

[creborn]

@stevetork

I agree with your assessment, but care to notice that the guys in the vid have a cable attached to the front end of the tractor.. so it can't flip...

[97Mikko]

@stevetork u need FourWheelDrive (;

[dmpwa]

@stevetork except they clearly have the front tied down to something...otherwise, good info. :)

[ostacruiser]

@stevetork That's why you have a clutch and not be an idiot, if you feel it going over push in the clutch....no one dies. Tractor tread only grips going forward and he had a piece of equipment behind him which would be the case nearly every time since that's what a tractor is for.

[Garu4x4]

@stevetork So wot? Watch "Cars" they did it (with da cows tractors) :) More pain - More fun :)

[KISSMYACE3203]

@stevetork You also must remember that you can only put a small amount of that torque the ground to actually get traction.

[mangtangthang]

@stevetork

A very knowledgeable and authoratitve observation stevetork.

I hope I will remember to backup in such a scenario if my winch fails me.

[specialks1953]

VERY SMART IDEA. Some day I may need to use this idea myself. Thank You for posting it. We are never too old to learn. I just learned.

[teezer123]

very clever !

[quadarinxxx]

enig i det du sier om fordson:)

liker ideen!!

[multiolay]

get new tires

[robkal56]

Clever solution. I like seeing people thinking outside the box.

[MATUXAZ]

21 people tried to pull-out their tractors....

[sayJames]

well done sir!

[nahtan14]

that a pretty good idea!!

[JohnDeere30201]

nice tractor my great great grandfather used to have on of those

[mervifwdc]

Great thinking! use what ya got!

[519Doug]

WE HAD TO DO THIS WITH OUR TRACTOR IN ONRAIO CANADA. WORKED LIKE A CHARM!

[rinavanity]

Got told of something similar being done to a MF that had got stuck on a tree stump where I used to work. Thought it was bullshit until watching this.

[WildlyOptimistic1]

I thought the log would A) snap B) slide out of the chain. B) genius, simple idea.

[justinlynch3]

Gotta give it to ya, way to think on your feet and save yourself a tow out.

[jasonmushersee]

Put logs on each side of the stuck tire, then a log chain tied to both & infront of the tire, then drive ahead. 

[Raimondo988]

Man, you are a jenius! =)

[ftwomey82]

Whats on the back of the tractor??

[ivankoran]

i gotta try that when my "truck" gets stuck again

[uploadedbyfawn]

This is my three year old's FAVORITE video! We watch it all the time. So many questions to ask. :)

[bojirman]

amazing! I am going to use this when I get stck towing my boat out the sea!

[GfByZach]

John deere dude... its the way to go..

[rammsteinfan30]

@GfByZach johndeers get stuck too

[nicce12]

Snyggt jobbat!

[coxeriie]

woo realy nice great idea 

[detroitMC313]

damn. good inovators!!! lol.

[flover1111]

браво мајсторе, одлично :))

[flover1111]

браво мајсторе, одлично

[HardcoreCar19]

Where it belongs.

[richardoliver240]

clever

[jnny3000]

i got mine stuck today. i will try this tomarow. good idea

[hockeyguitar77]

Thats such a good Idea!

[bearnut34]

@sgtsnafu

douchebag, seriously?

[sitoto]

hahahah fkng good idea =)

[c21mmr]

cool

[swampfarmer]

I watch this video every couple of months, and love it. My Major has about the same amount of tread, so I always keep this idea in the back of my mind if I head into soupy areas.

[01robjoh]

med en mf skulle du inte sitta fast :)

[tomten2000]

Mycket smart.

[upyerkilts]

thats bizarre as fuk!!! good work lads

[9noel4]

the power jajaja

[hondarancherbro]

so cool i never would have thought of dat idea

[irssssss]

lol tat was KIK ASS!

[neil7025]

I owned a fordson major with a belt pulley does this one have a belt pulley because it could be used to pull it out of bog

[HISandman]

that was awesome!! great idea!

[fergu65]

jasså hadde den körde själv fast med min fergu 65 och satt f-n så mycket hårdare än er och jag kom bort utan problem typ samma sätt som dig men min transmission är fortfarande hel..så skippa detta skit snack om fergusson den är minst lika bra som era fordar ..men tur vi har olika smak .men annars bra gjort..

[roobeepig]

These guys know their SH#T

And city folk think farmers are STUPID!!!!

GIT YOU SOME OF THAT CITY BOY!!!!

[jmotorcrossman]

good thinking!

[Rod2141]

Cool!!!!Nice job!!!

[Bidone1967]

Nice work!

[k3vindesciple]

pretty neat.. 5/5

[oleandhenning]

uffuff det kaller man svenske!!

[IneedaBFMV]

badass idea

[markd3925]

great idea, i like it

[kootenaycat]

Smart!

[1superocky1]

love it guys ,all the best r.

[Anzyra]

haha:) he's my teatcher:D

[volvo240flak]

swedish power!!

[jhonmar06]

uhhvbvvvv vvv++`````````++`+````pp``pp``­+++

[Hollrobb]

I like this idea and will try to remember it the next time i get stuck or anyone i know does.

Thank you for sharing.

[396Redneck]

woah i wouldve never thaught of that lol

[manolodelano]

Un profesional......... si señor.... me lo apunto en la libreta

[classsss84]

Det krävs år av erfarenhet:)

[GypsyKiller450]

thats fuckin sweet... so much easier then the alternative lol

[mduran17]

what a cool idea..jajajja

[goodchap1971]

It's a cleaver idea but you have to watch it does not catch the valves especially on the old tractors. We got a nuffied 460 unstuck like that 18 years ago but caught the valve on the wheel.

[Azzss234]

Skön kommentar han sa om fergusonXD

[Japopeye]

awesome. common sense

[teecuzbruh]

F'N GENIUS

[DjBoyo01]

godammn this is soooo coool idea

[MrNorrland]

Snyggt!

[greenbull56]

shit i would have just tried the "stick the log under tire trick" and then maybe of given up

[peckiledorf]

shit i wish i was smart

[kiwicowcocky]

speaking from experience make sure you put the chains well away from tyre valve

[reptile411]

@kiwicowcocky Oh shit, I can only imagine. I'm sure 2 blowouts would make a bad situation worse.

[BillDFC]

Necessity is the mother of invention.

[bestinlerhol]

haha lellgammel..

[deefa2916]

be better if you was english :D

[escalantenick14]

this is a very cool way to get out of the mud

[neiublondiin]

Old good trick. Some truckdrivers maybe learn something. Use brains. But very clever working antway!

[concreteoutlaws]

damn that was smart

[SimplyDavid42]

very good idea ! I would not have thought something like that.

Great !

[sweatofmyballs]

5 stars for that idea :)

[volidass]

GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tractorboy135]

ill try that 2 my fordson major

[crushwack07]

awesome idea

[stubbenmonkey]

thats brill we cotemplated doin that wen we got a john deere 6310 stuck but got a big winch to pull us out check it out on you tube

[wanagthigh]

Right on

[piirman]

bra knep i leran

[Expressenn]

aa de gick suveränt anders :P

[keithmcgrath]

very good idea if you are stuck,well done

[frypiece]

thats brilliant well done chap!

[obninskk14]

гениально! =)

[zensins]

That's brilliant. I'm using that to unstick my John Deere (as soon as I can get it to crank up). Yes, stuck in the mud AND won't start. Gotta love it!

[cattrax320]

that is a good way to get them out,,but you have to be careful that the stick doesn't take the cab off or your head with it

[aoeplayer69]

funny how these guys are smart enough to do this yet so stupid they get stuck in a so OBVIOUSLY bad spot

[larsalars]

Please consider the possibility that the people in the video are the same persons who uploaded it.

[MichaelTheSilageMan]

aye show some fucking respect man, Iv bogged hundreds of times, we all think theres a slight chance of getting through, at least they got out, so why don't you shut your mouth

[Sevensixseven78]

@aoeplayer69 you can't always have good spots sometimes you just give it a try. Thats was the best idea I think i have ever seen for getting unstuck.

[justinlynch3]

@aoeplayer69 It's not stupid. They seen the spot, took a chance, but got stuck.

This happens all the time no matter what your driving, be it truck, ATV etc. You see a spot, you figure "ah... I can make that, not that bad" then bam, stuck. In area's such as these, it happens all the time.

[pabstman57]

Iv been stuck a thousand times,I never thought of this. I learned something today.

[mosalamey]

Fordson High School is named after this piece of shit rusty ol' mexican riding juggernaut...

WOW

[johndeereman567]

that would be great for me if i could find

some branches on my land that werent rotted!

[dumapies]

why would i want to start a rattleing bucket of bolts

[johndeereman567]

you dont have to like tractors, but you dont need to go around makin bad comments on peoples videos who do like tractors. why would you watch this if you dont like tractors?

[Nordabergingen]

Va har ni for en redskap bak?

[andgus22]

kranvinsch

[MaciekPL87]

That's genius, first time I see it.

[shotgunboy123456]

I never thought that  would ever work

[marlb0r015]

hij zat kankervies vast het is wel erg leuk om met dat ding door de bossen te scheuren lijkt mij

[andgus22]

which means?

[marlb0r015]

im sorry what i said was: he was awfully stuck, it would be a pleasure to drive that thing true the forest i think. :)

[sixstringsniper922]

this is a really good method and works in almost in situation the last time had to this we had to run 2x4s for the poles to catch on because the mud was so soft

[mountfields]

excelent idea...well done !!!!  i`ll remember that one, might need it one day...

[thedrewdotcom]

yeah this works, my dad got a Case 930 stuck, he tied railroad ties to the back tires and it worked like a charm, too bad i wasn't there to see it...

[fordtractors4100]

i must say.. good idea and good job boys.next time i get stuck im going to use this method

[jackboote]

Impressive.

[vafaningetnamnledigt]

"hade det varit en ferguson hade ju transmissionen gått sönder direkt" LOL.....

[thedrewdotcom]

that is awesome! i may have to try that in the event that i get stuck

[jamesb1221222]

hah! i never thought of that!

[PeteA216]

great idea!

[vedbil]

Fränt!

[dumapies]

wouldn't expect this kind of intelligence from people who drive tractors

[thedrewdotcom]

what is that supposed to mean? that farmers are stupid? lets see how well the world works if we were stupid like you think we are...

[johndeereman567]

are you sayin that farmers are stupid, cuz we're not! it takes brains to drive a tractor.

someone like you probably cant even start a tractor, let alone drive it. you need to shut

your fuckin mouth before you get beat up.

[Nordabergingen]

Me?

[johndeereman567]

no not you, i was talkin to some other dildo.

[pabstman57]

jdman567 you gotta relax. you cant go around beating people up on you tube. a lot of people go on here just to argue. so sit back smoke some shit(if you got some) and enjoy life.

[boostedwolfie]

no it doesnt. i mastered the bucket, mower, speed, getting unstuck, and how to start a tractor all in one day doing some work at my grandpas farm. wasnt a difficult concept at all.

[farmerinchico]

I would have tried that idea (had I known) when I got my Ford 7610 stuck a few years ago...

[Dennisrob68]

Muito bom !!

Adorei a idéia ...voce é um genio !!

[iloveapplebottMJEANS]

wtf????? what did he say.....?

[vafaningetnamnledigt]

Well they say a lot off things but the main thing is that the cameraman is impressed that it worked and the Fordsondriver just answers: If it had been a Ferguson, the transmission would have broke down......

[fmanh]

No not really. The fergusson of the same vintage has a safety point in the transimission box. It is a common problen that his safety releases due to extreme stresse when this type of action is poerfomred. WHats is broken is the safety. Not the transmission. From practical point of view however, I guess, it doesn't matter :-)
