A couple other threads reminded me of this. It is currently high mud and getting stuck time for many of us. Here is how the old timers used to get their tractors out before there was so much help nearby and before cell phones. This requires a chain and maybe a saw. First you get a log or a post, 6-10 inches in diameter, and four to ten feet long, depending on the size of your tractor, how deep it is in, and how soft the ground is. You place the log close up cross-ways against the BACK of your tire or tires, then chain it to closely to the tire/tires. You will be able to then BACK up onto the log and out of the mud. Never try this in a forward gear.
