Have a friend who , while plowing, hit a rock and promptly dug a tractor of that ilk axle deep in St. Laurence Valley bottom land clay in about
lol I use one of these at work.
There were a number of Corb Lund moments or rather hours around our neighbourhood this fall. It was so bad that most farmers had tractors like the one in the video waiting near the approach on the field.
Normally I can identify with much of what Aaron has to say in the way of the state controlling our lives, but what does “collectivism” have to do with a really really nice warm and fuzzy JD 4wd giving Kate a little pull.
aaron;you are either a charletton or a BS’er,besides living in the wrong place.I can shoot clays in MY back yard with no one teling me not to,and how many tons of dolomite you can move a mile in a day depends entirely how bad that you want it there.
So Kate, re-thinking the 2 wheel drive decision yet? ~:D
Nope. If I’d had my 2WD truck, I’d have never attempted the snowbank.
D’oh! Snowbanks are fun! If you have a winch, tire chains and a snow anchor, anyway. Otherwise, not so much.
Next time pack some canola seed, I hear its great for traction.
I got my 4x stuck in the -driveway- when I lived in Marshall btw, that’s how I know about the tire chains and the snow anchor. Gets deep in Minnesota. Which is far south of Sask, I note.

Yup! Years ago we took a L&F 4wd Chev Suburban back into a farmer’s back forty and promptly drove it into a slough in the back pasture that looked like solid ground. Few more grunts and we had the Suburban completly down on its pan in the muck. No tractor available but the local tow truck wouldn’t get any closer than a hundred feet and ran out all of his tow cable. He couldn’t get his wheel chocks to not sink in the ground and it ultimately took the Suburban grunting on a fours down low AND the pull of the tow to get out of the bog. Had we had the regular p/u we’d a walked down in there…
And speaking of snowbanks, we once put a beetle up on its pan on an unplowed country road, and when we dug out the wheels found a foot of air under each wheel… That was a head-scratcher for a bit…
Had one like that pull me out this summer. Stuck my van’s wheel in a ditch.
The nice thing is that there isn’t any question…the truck IS coming out of the drift!!
