...or, playing hide and seek with a front tire.
We were taking the one of our tractors around the recently logged woods on our farm when this happened. We had been over this section with lighter tractors with bush hogs with no problem, but I guess the heavier 2940 was able to break through the dry top crust and just keep on sinking!
Oh, and before anyone flames, we did not snatch it out with the chain (we have logging cable for that). My dad used the excavator to lift the front end out of the mud and spin it over to dryer ground. We tried the cable first but the front tire kept digging itself underground, hence the choker chain.
