Stuck Tractors and Queensland Floods

I just dropped mine on its guts; 4x4 and diff lock be damned! It won't be moving anywhere for at least several weeks. Enough rain now, OK? Someone else can have some of mine.

Where is the photo Jarrod?

My Chamberlain been bogged good down the back many times...........I just leave it till the ground dries up,and drive it out.......beats digging and chains and stuff....................The rains been stopped about 20 minutes now.......maybe its gone.

Here is another lot. I absolutely love the pull tractor on fire and the dithering old woman actually trying to blow it out.




Some repeats but some new ones.

Was practically night time, I was soaked. As soon as I can get a minute to myself, promise!

I got that Leyland bogged down the back.......didnt even notice the ground was wet ,util I thought the cab was kinda low to the ground.....anyhoo,tried to pull it out with the Chamberlain....wouldnt even look at it.........so I had to drag down a piece of 3/4" wire rope long enough to reach the big tree up the top boundary......hooked it up to the winch on the tray........pulled it out uphill against the mud no trouble......Cant beat a winch..........Swishy was commenting about winches ,Ive seen the winches on GMC s which arent big,with the drums nearly cut in half by the tension in the rope.............In the cleanup at Willawong ,I scrapped a new Mc Kee 30 ton winch off a dozer.......lots of protests,but what can ya do with a big winch when yore over 70?...Gotta let go!

Here it is, and there it will stay for quite some time.

Thought you might push yourself out with the backhoe. Then again probably don't want to bugger up the yard if there are no pressing jobs.
