New and exciting ways to get stuck
« on: October 06, 2007, 15:39:55 »
What joy. Just been on the farm helping move sheep, all legal and in compliance with defra.

Anyway in a field herding them up hear that most dread noise of surface water under wheel, anyway push on as need to get round sheep. Starts getting worse then next thing we stop dead all four wheels spinning.

Why?

Numpty forgot the 1100 kg trailer on the back!  Makes a good ground anchor!

Que 2 hours fighting it out using a tractor. :oops:  :oops:  :oops:  :cry:  :cry:  :roll:  :roll:

Its been a bad year for vehicles getting stuck in fields. One of our neighbours didn't let a combine harvester into a field without one of these on standby


Because sooner or latter something along the lines of this was bound to happen


You can spend all day trying to pull/winch one of those out, 20+ tons of vehicle can make for a very effective ground anchor.

hahah i saw that soo many times this harvest!
combines were actually written off! when people were towing them out they wernt using the designated towin points and thus bent the chassis and many other extremely expensive parts!
poor farmers!
