Greetings friends!
I am looking for instructions or a video about how you use a front end loader to creep a tractor forward if it is stuck.
I'm honestly shocked I can't find a video on youTube, but then maybe I'm not using the right search terms!
So here's the story: after months of lurking through your great posts I finally got my first (compact) tractor about two weeks ago. I only have 11 hours on it so far, but having a blast, that is until I blew the seal on a rear tire Tuesday night. Don't have any idea yet how I did that, it was filled by the dealer, and maybe it had a slow leak which I missed, but regardless, it is flat and the seal is de-beaded.
So, here's the stuck part: it is on a hill, and I need to get it up to level ground to change it, but because the rear wheal is flat, I can't get enough traction with the front (opposite front wheel can't get traction.) I think if I can use the front end loader I can inch it up the hill, but honestly have no idea how that is done. Actually, I have an idea, but the hill adds an element of excitement, and I don't really want to roll back on top of the brush hog I had to detach and leave there.
So, who has a good way of describing this bucket trick? Or better yet, who has a good video?
While y'all do that I'll go see what trouble I can come up with in the meantime. See if I can figure it out without taking out my brush hog or fence!
