Been there-done that.
1. Log skidder with winch
2. Bulldozer with winch
3. Heavy duty wrecker used for towing big tractor trailer rigs.

Now I have had a few things stuck in the mud but not that stuck I'll be scratching my head on this one for awhile.

I'd get a 200 size (45,000 lb.) or so size excavator to dig out the wheels and dig a "ramp" up to firmer ground. That's a big machine to bury up to the tops of the wheels and then try to pull out.

You could just consider it yard art

J/K!

Be sure and post how you got it out, I'd love to hear.

stuck

this pic. has been all over the net. in fact I think it showed up last spring when it was wet here in the midwest. I would dig away from it with a 44,000 pound hoe and then hook a good sized cable and pull it out. If you are the owner or operator of this machine you are a fool for taking the x-tra time to stick it even worse. Been there done that and leaned my lesson........
