Case and JCB Fastrac stuck in the mud
Вставка

- Went to pull our neighbour's Case MXM140 with field bird cultivator out of a sticky spot and got stuck straight away myself. Although it had brindled off on top it was like porridge underneath, i was easily able to sink my welly in to the top. Fastrac 3230 wasn't helped by the fact that the diff lock wouldn't engage so it was down to the JCB 535 95 loader to save the day, i should have took that in the first place !

Its amazing to see how different driving skills sets are across the country.
I grew up on a steep farm in Herefordshire with two wheel drive tractors. There was a local contractor in his 60's who'd moved to the area from lincolshire and had never driven on steep ground before.
He was terrified, but to old to learn and kept getting stuck. He had a 6 cylinder 4wd Renault and I was forever having to recover him from position's where he'd got himself stuck.
Half the time I could drive his tractor out without a tow. When I did have to tow him out I only had a dexta or a nuffield.
We had family farming in Wales and they were at least ten leagues ahead of me with stuff like this.
I've understood why people dig themselves into the ground once the wheels have broken traction and or clogged up with mud.
It's far better to pull in a low gear so that you can stop as soon as you've broken traction. It's much easier to move the tractor and re-hitch than have to dig a tractor out of the ground, especially when the ground has the same moisture content as slurry.
In my experience it's best to have a walk about and suss out where the grip is. This took a lot of peoples time to recover from something that was borderline as to whether it should have happened in the first place.
The case driver should have been aware that the tractor was sinking at least 3-4 seconds before he came to a stop.
The fastrac driver looked like it was his 1st time off road. To much power, to much wheelspin and to slow reacting to it. It's much better to risk stalling at low revs.
I've never the kind of lifting capacity that a loadall can deliver in this situation, but to my mind lifing the stuck tractor out of the ground and dragging it sideways made a lot of uneccessary mess.
well done guys, not an easy thing to get a big tractor out of deep mud.
that tele/loader came very handy :)
best of luck with the rest of your season

Very impressed with JCB 535 tele handler. I cant believe how it made short work of getting both tractors and the cultivator out the mud
Thankyou Frank, its not been the easiest season but its looking better now, hopefully the weather will stay kind to all of us!
The telehandlers are one of the best bits of kit on a farm!
John Somerset no
First smart recovery, DROP THE IMPLEMENT AND GET IT LATER!
Total agree. When bogged down it takes three times the weight of the tractor in force to get it out, so a 10 ton tractor bogged down will need a 30 ton tug to get it out. If the implement weighs 1 ton and you drop it then you will get away with 3 ton's less force needed to get the stuck tractor out if it can't get itself out.
Bloody hell, now that‘s mud ! Looks hard and dry on top,but later gives you quite a headache :-):-):-)
Well believe it or not i've also been driving tractors for a fair while, and over the years i have recovered plenty of stuck tractors and lorries from ditches, fields and snow, this being the first time i've got set myself. Hindsight is a great thing and if i was presented with that situation again i would handle it differently, i.e by getting the loader first.
For a minute i thought the loadall was going down too!
You are obviously an expert, i can tell from all of your "videos" and comments on your channel.
Most of the time in these shots, the best way to get un-stck would be to pull in reverse from where they were headed. If they have a plow, do like they did then pull forward . Best thing to do is make sure field is dry enough for plowing
Lol, pleased to meet you George! I've got a william in the middle :)
The legend to the rescue..
Sank like the titanic LOL. Cool vid
well done guys ... keep up the good work farming is a hell of a job .... :)
one hell of a bloke in the loader!
ye its easy to say i agree. but i also work on a farm, and drive tractors everyday and its one of the first things i tell people for when they start sinking in a wet field. also release air out of the tyres to get a wider surface area on the ground
Superb loader driving
what we did back home with tele handler was bring long chains and a bucket, dig bucket into ground, chains onto chassis (chain down points?) and then just boom out... tends to drag most things out bar loaded 16t spreaders lol, tho you do need to be mindful of drains with bucket
nice to see a young lad with his hands in his pockets ☺
Fair play man! I've had too push and pull tractors out with the 360 as nothing else could travel. Nice vid :)
Shorter chain works better when pulling a tractor that’s stuck, the short distance between both seems to gain better traction for some reason, 👍
The first rule of pulling a stuck tractor; don't get stuck yourself.
Darrell Weathers Very good point
And if possible keep the recovery vehicle on solid ground and use a longer or multiple ropes. Even better a winch.
good video, damned good operator!
Muddy business George!
That would be a sound investment i think!
the joys of farming. includes mud
The JCB loader driver is a welcome counter weight:D
I thought the same thing :)
Witness, John the Legend.
good job!
Pastor Leonard Williams CAYA Thankyou:)
That loadall is pretty handy.
Great vid. Great big tractors
Thankyou:)
George Saunders
Lol you are right Wladek i think you would need a few chained together to pull that lot out!
no offence, but the guy in the telehandler was pretty big, and the thing still pulled it ! Strong girl she is
Hard man on the jib!!!
that it did, we've got a new one now, As soon as i get it working i'll have another video up,
Well done George, and well done the Tele-handler and its driver! Was it as cold there as we've been having it?
SUPER
Ursus is not only a small tractor. "kadkarFarmer" didn't write about what exactly model thoughts. There are also larger models such as 1934, 1954 or 1634. But on the such ground and pulling tractor with machine each tractor could well collapse in the mud
The bloke in the blue coveralls with his hands in his pockets doesn't do a lot.
That is the owner of the channel
@@kendal5210 no, George is wearing yellow, he's in the Fastrack...
etikkboksen he isn’t blonde though and I thought George was
But they both look alike I can hardly tell
He's the manager!
Thanks, she does sound nice :)
Haha, yes we were lucky on this occasion, the 360 was next on the list :)
Yes it did well!
Good job
Haha at the end the JCB even got more stuck than the case was xD
Super video
Thankyou.
Thanks Chad, its been a tricky year alright. the holes were just left and seeded around as a reminder lol.
A harrowing affair.
Correct, but after about two seconds of spinning i was already down on the axles and it was game over, it surprised me how quickly she went down and from the cab i couldn't tell that i'd just dug some holes, the ground was like pudding and had no bottom to it.
ok;-) Btw, Nice videos. Gotta love that sound on the Fastrac:-D
thankyou, that it is !
Loadall saves the day again! Would farms be the same without them...
Daniel Hutchinson It doesn't bare thinking about a life without loaders!
That it is Hans! :)
Hey Chalky, yes its an extra, the boost is good but its a shame its not available for pto work, i could really do with that bit extra on a big baler. how's the silageing going, we just started mowing today
Sometimes things just don't go to plan.
Backhoe is good when stuck but now i'm amazed 👌 what's that rack on jcb fenders?
I agree
Love be how the loadall save the day in the end and is probably the worst off-roader……. In the mud at least.
Is thag a 3230 xtra or a norm one?
The boost on the xtra is insane, I've been driving on today on silageing!!
Lol you got me there!
Well done to telehandler the old buzzer was going of a lot. Land has been a nightmare trying to judge this last year did u manage to get all the holes sorted after?
Nice video
Petr Beneš Thankyou Petr
Should've got George on the back of the tally handler as a weight
Well things did get a bit dryer and we got a bit of drilling done, but after all the snow and rain of recents weeks its just as wet again. but its slowly drying up again well till it rains again lol.
Brawo dobra robota
He's a big ole surrey in the telehandler
That usually works!
The counterweight in the JCB loader wasn't heavy enough ! ;-)
Probably should have stopped when she started to dig in. I guess it takes the old legend to get them both out
the joys!! things any dryer now?
Thanks Balmesh, the boss was on the loader and he's a dab hand lol. It was pretty cold, about 1 degree i think it was.
great video and do you have any tractors besides JCB?
That he is !
I would like to see that!
1. Once the wheels start spinning - stop. You will only get stuck yourself.
2. When trying to pull out a vehicle do it in a straight line. Not at an angle.
Crane Lifting straps are the safest for pulling like that. No elasticity in them. Chains will fly when they snap.
The best is snatch straps that can flex upp to 7 percent then you can build upp some speed and it's just soft and you get more pulling power I have one that takes upp to 30 tons for the truck works amazingly.
Looks like time to invest in some tractors with tracks.
Gud counter weight in loader anyway
is it possible to put duals on those tractors?
Was gonna say, wouldn't be seen dead in a field at that time of without them, apart from anything, you're getting excessive compaction!!
Yea you can
Northern farmer-of course why wouldnt you
Genial
The diff lock was selected but would not engage, one of its inhibits was active.
Plenty weight on the teleporter anyway
It’s amazing how these vids have over 1m views
Never heard of soil health,or is it just a big lark ?
Why can the JCB lift walk all over the place, but the tractors got stuck? The tractors were in a pull [draft] when they became mired, but the lift was vertically lifting while pulling. Strange juju going on.
omg I would use thinner wheels on such a field ;D :D:D
How got the case stuck
Who is the guy driving the Jcb forklift
You need to carry a roll of carpet in this situation
cultivating with telehandler
hey dringo how are you doing!
You obviously haven't bothered to read the description before commenting.
2:20 pierdolnąłem śmiechem:D
Well i'm probably wrong but according to google translate he seem's to be suggesting that an Ursus would pull it out. Am i wrong Wladek?
Its near Sandy Bedfrdshire.
No way !
ever heard of using the dif lock
Panic first,then stop and asses the situation! thats what we all do!
Tractors are getting too big,and too heavy,why dont they use cage,and dual wheels,spread the weight and traction,
But you cant predict a soft wet patch ,in the middle of a field!
i never thought,the little telehandler would get it out,without bogging down,a good job,i think!
Yes, the telehandler worked pretty well, but the Fastrac was not much to write home about, perhaps they should stay on the paved roads.
Think you should invest I crawler George ?
Why didn't he use the DIFFERENTIAL LOCK?
