I loaned my Ford 860 with front snowplow and rear pull type snowblower to a neighbor to keep his driveway open for the winter. He called me today ( right now I’m 275 miles away ) with this problem. He has been parking the tractor on the side of his driveway. Now that the snow is melting in far northern Wisconsin and the banks are going down it seems he parked too far to the side of the driveway. The right side of the tractor was on packed snow that was beyond the retaining wall. As the snow melted the right side of the tractor dropped and the tractor in now on its side over the wall. It is about a 3’ to 4’ drop but not all the snow is gone yet. At this time the right rear tire is still on snow, the tractor is leaning against trees, and the left tires are in the air. Right now the roads and drives are in mud season so no big equipment could be moved in. The town roads have a 3 ton limit and strictly enforced. I am looking for ideas on getting the tractor back on its wheels and back up on the driveway. I will be getting back there in a week or two but it will be at least another month before the mud will be gone to move heavy equipment. Of course I hope to avoid additional damage. Thanks for any ideas.
