Yes - know the feeling, we have the same kind of mud here I think.
I've known tractors to get stuck here. These days sugar beets are harvested by tracked vehicles... |

Some waffle boards might have saved the day there... under the rear wheels and reverse out maybe...

Oooooooh lovely mud, but have to say my off road motor will have gone through that no problem,Lokka on the front, dumper tyres, bad oil in rear diff, only thing defeats me traction wise is deep rutting cos I belly out but that is where the winch comes in, nice to see another T2 in the mire, Rick

Ah that is rotten luck mate, if you plan on doing this often then a winch and ground anchor will be your best options, Rick
