      That's I was thinking, plus I know he is trying to pick the front of the tractor up but with the bucket down the way he has it it will not go anywhere and yes I have a Kubota about his size and I have operated tractors including back hoes all my life and I an 72

  • @livefreeordie1
    @livefreeordie1 3 роки тому +5

    A few suggestions that often work for me. Put wood under the bucket to lift the front end, then put wood under the sunk tire. Lock your rear diff. Keep your chain as short as possible to get more downward force on the back of the truck. Getting stuck sucks, but getting it back out gives a feeling of accomplishment and relief!

    • @timothyboone5003
      @timothyboone5003 Рік тому

      Very good advice. In my opinion this tractor was no where near stuck. Lock rear dif, wood under front bucket, raise front wood under sunken front tire. Ease backwards while scooping front bucket and it would have driven out.
      As for using chains to recover stuck tractors, trucks, or anything else is a good way to break your equipment. This can easily been seen by the hard jerking when the chain was coming tight at the end of the video. Use of a dynamic snatch line is the only way to go.
      Once the tractor is free change those tires. Those tires lose all traction in the least little bit of mud. Just a few days ago I watched a 25 ho Chinese tractor work circles around a 47 hp Kubota. The Kubota just slipped and slid around unable to get enough traction to lift anything with its front bucket. The little Chinese tractor rarely would spin a tire while pushing where the Kubota couldn’t go. It was all because of the tires.

    Maybe I missed it, but my Kubota 3301L has a posi-track that kicks in when I push down the lever with my foot on the floorboard near the left side of my seat. I didn't really see both back wheels spinning at the same time and was wondering if you had actually engaged this when you were trying to back out? Also, might be helpful to carry along a chain and Come Along if you have gotten stuck several times. I know mine has helped me on more than one occasion. Cheers

    Chalk another one up for kubogy. I have a bigger kubogy (a MX5200), reason---it's got bucket linkage on the loader with LOTS more piviot 170 degrees not a measlly 130 degrees (like a LA 525) , so the bucket dumps good and rolls backward a lot. As for "pry-bar action" nothing can beat a Massey-Ferguson (a 1736 with a VERY reponsive DL 125 LOADER) that rotates an astonishing 210 degrees. Luckily never had to use it for a "pry-bar" to evacuate it from being stuck--this unit loads & dumps like a dream, WAY better than my kubogy. I don't think l would ever buy another tractor without bucket-linkage but allmost did. Getting unstuck can have many variables, yours was "textbook" precission.

Also i don't know if it is a road that your trying to have there you know all those bigger slab " your first cut on log " you but them cross way multi layer first row flat "cut part " to the ground second row round on top of the other round and so on depending at how wet it is then use your saw dust and cover the whole thing even if you need to leave a ditch or a place for a small creek you do the bottom of the area the same way but leave it lower so water can circulate. the wood in the ground takes a good amount of time to deteriorate but you can always had more when needed i have done ot before and it does work but you got to maintain it

      No, I actually really like these tires. The dealer told me they were better for lifting applications like lifting logs like I do. I read somewhere that they effectively have thicker ply as well...I guess because of the large, flat treads. Either way, I like them. Only downside is traction in the mud.
