The 8630 driver is a complete spanner, no attempt to ease the implement up when the tractor starts to loose traction then when he ties to get going, no diff lock enabled. He looks old enough to know better, what a tool!!!!

This reminds me of a good story. Several years ago my Grandfather got stuck discing some food plots in CRP. He was using our biggest tractor, a John Deere 4440 with clamp on duals and a 19ft disc. My dad and I were both at work that afternoon so he had to let the pair sit overnight, leaving us a nasty surprise the next morning. Not only did he rock the tractor back and forth trying to get out until it was sunk to the axle, he had raised the disc up onto its wheels and left it up all night. At firs, we tried pulling tractor and disc with a John deere 4320, but to no avail, the steel cable snapped in half and slammed into the cab, smashing lights and sheet metal. Next we tried unhooking the disc, and chained a 3020 to the 4320; still no movement. It took 4 hours of pulling and digging the mud away from the 4440's wheels to get her out.

When the tractor with the front bucket comes out it completes the ensemble for my 2 year old son and he gets so excited!! Thank you for posting all of the videos!!

I watched a local farmers hire help get his D6D dozier stuck while clearing some wetter ground. Sunk it to the top of the tracks due to an inexperienced operator. By the time they got someone who knew what he was doing they had an John Deere 8630, 4840, and 4630 all sunk to the axles. They finally got an old man who worked in construction for years on the dozier. Within 20 minutes he basically screwed that dozier out of that hole. Within an hour he had all the others pulled out as well. An experience operator is key in getting equipment. I was just happy to see they did not hook to the back section of the disk. Seen it happen too many times resulting in bent up disk frames.The man running the 8630 knew not keep digging it down and not hooking it up wrong. Older and wiser!

I have been stuck to many times we farmed swamp ground you never know when you going to go down. Working for other farmers it is hard to know the ground. Biggest tractor i got stuck with was a John Deere 9200 with 32 foot disk. Oh the joys of getting stuck lol. Thanks for the video.

@bigtractorpower any time we have ever gotten our 8430 stuck when working ground we raised it up, left it unfolded and then unhooked and have always been able to drive away. Then pulled the disc or chisel out with a chain when the tractor was on dryer ground. Great videos love the big tractors.

72 series Case tractors were some of the most reliable equipment ever made

While scraping sediment out of a pond one very dry summer. I drove the tractor over some organic matter in the pond. Sank immediately to the axle. Worked at it for days trying to dig enough material in front of the wheels to drive it forward. Didn’t work. No trees to winch it out. Tractor was facing the tank dam with a fence on the opposite side. My boss told me to chain two railroad ties to the front of each back wheel. Start the tractor, put it in the lowest gear available. While idling slowly let out the clutch. The back tires slowly climbed up the ties and rolled over so they are now behind the wheels. Just like that the tractor was out of the mud! Awesome! Most amazing feeling!

WOW! Look at the front left dual on the tractor. The wedge lock is WAY off even. Tire wobbles several degrees.

Talk about getting stuck, roughly 20 years ago when I was probably 5-6 my grampa, sister a year younger, and I were out in his 7700 Ford with the hay carrier and probably 8 bales we were driving to feed cattle got halfway to the pen and drove through the ditch. That’s the only way to get there and has been travelled though everyday for years and years well we ended up getting the trailer stuck when he locked the diff in and sunk the rear tires too. We walked back to the house and my sister and I thought it was the longest walk ever at the time remember our age lol. Ended up having my grandma drive us in the old ford truck while my grampa drove his open station 7600 out with the chains and pulled her right out. I’ll have to get pictures of it and share with you on Instagram but probably the best memory of my grandpa farming.

Extraordinary, a miracle, they pulled the tractor out with another one!! Love those JD articulated tractors, still great value for money, and if taken care of should go on for years.

Thanks for sharing, been there a few times in the past . I’m sure glad they hooked to drawbar on tractor and not disc. Organic that be interesting.

Love these big tractors, much bigger then my Kubota L2550 from the eighties. Greetings from Andreas from the Off Grid Sweden Channel.

We had a really wet spring in 2013, got stuck 5-6 times pulling field cultivator. I had a 30 foot chain with me so when I’d get stuck I’d raise it up, unhook and get the tractor out on dry ground and pull the field cultivator out with the chain

Bet those disc are gonna be caked up !! Great stuff mike

We need to all remember that they are organic grower they don’t know what there doing

Best video ever!! Love seeing the Caseih pull out the JD! Lol

This video never gets old my friend I love those Oliver's and whites what I grew up on I like them all tell you the truth I've seen your recent videos I just didn't leave comments cuz I was watching it on the Xbox but you're still getting plenty of use for me brother happy holidays man thanks a ton for all the great videos

Step 1 lift the disk

Over the winter and early spring if 1960 the Mississippi river came up 4 times. 1 week coming up, a week up over the levies, a week going down and down a week, then rinse and repeat 4 times. Each time I would leave a 1" of fine Iowa top soil. When we started to farm it we were helped a friend of my fathers. He had a John Deere 630 and our Farmall 460. Each tractor had a 16' log chain on the front of the tractor and another on the back of the disk. As soon as you spun a wheel 1/2 turn we would stop and let the other tractor pull around to pull you out. 250 acres of that mess. We were lucky to get 50 acres disk in a day with 2 tractors. 4 mph was all the tractors could pull the disks first trip over. We had to disk all the fields three times to get a seedbed. Twice we got it all planted and we got a big rain before the soybeans got up and the ground would seal over like concrete. This disc them twice again and replant. Everything got planted 3 times and finished planting July 20th

Got stuck one time in a field while using a JD 4840,pulling a AAMCO 16ft heavy cutting disc.It was in NC where I grew up,and the ground was heavy clay.I came around a corner in the field,and hit a swampy area that I could not see,due to all of the weeds,went straight down to the axle,before I could do anything.My partner was driving a 4640,and he just pulled in front of me,hooked a chain and pulled me out.We never could plow that corner,it never dried out enough in the spring to plow it.

The wobble on the left dual is a optical illusion, I had a beer it was there, then I had another beer it had gone,,, so if u see a problem go straight to the cooler for the beer, and hey presto, a pissed farmer. 😂👍🍺

I've lived on a 39 acre fruit farm. Our farm had some really low wet areas and we would get stuck a lot. We just took a second tractor, wrapped a chain around the front axle of the one that was stuck and just pulled. Sometimes we had to get a third tractor. Good times were had. I miss the farm.

nice.. :) my uncle got our ih 400 stuck & all we had 2 work with was the FEL & our chevy 1500 pickup.. fun times..lol

Not much to say..... other than that is one sharp looking Magnum!

I know that area all to well. Got the 655c hung up pulling the 6630 sunflower this spring near there.

Seen this scenario more times than I'd like too admit

Glad to see they hooked to drawbar, and not spring the disc... nice job!

The first thing that hit me when he tried to get out was "for crying out loud, raise the disk out of the ground". But after the other tractor started pulling him I noticed the build up in front of the front gang, so trying to lift the disk up would have done no good as the disk wheels would have just sunk in anyway. This reminds me that in 1975 I was on a wheat harvest crew where ran two " L Gleaners" We were cutting at Cherokee, Oklahoma when the kid driving that L got into a mud hole which does happen. He was only 17 and didn't have much experience. When he hit that hole and it started spinning, instead of stopping right there, he tried to pull it on thru and all he did was get in deeper and deeper until he buried it way above the front combine axle. The boss knew that there was no way the other machine was going to pull him out. He went into town and hired a oil field worker with a D 6 cat to pull him out. He backed that Caterpillar up as close as the thought he needed and told the boss. "I am not getting out of this seat and you will hook up the winch cable. He wrapped it around the rear axle. The operator then pulled forward till the cable was tight and dug himself a hole where the back wheels on that cat was anchored. Then he told our boss " When I put the winch in gear I am going to pour the coals to it. I will do one of two things, I will pull it out or pull it in half, so the decision is up to you" He gave him the go ahead and it pulled it out without any damage to the machine. When it was over, he charged him only $90.00 to do that. I thought that was pretty cheap even then, 45 years ago.

93 floods was year to remember, we struggle IH 786 pulling Sunshine HV McKay non spring tine seeder in mud. 786 sank so we unhook and used D4 CAT pull seeder. D4 pull seeder but wheels stop moving on seeder logged full mud we couldn’t sow.

Could've unhooked disk and drove tractor out hooked chain to disk and pulled it out. Hook back up and back to dialing. Done it many times in field by myself.

When your stuck in the mud the best thing to do is first take a break have lunch to see if mud dried, then get in and spin the tires till they down to dryer dirt lastly moisten the area with water if possible to allow the tractor to float to the top . problem solved

8630 sounds mighty sweet.

Well at least he stopped rocking it back and forth until it was down to the door. Dad refers to these situations as "chain reactions". We usually don't have too many instances of getting stuck, but we have farmed some local state owned ground that has a lot of muck dirt in it. That stuff will roll like a wave in front of a packer. Too much of a wave, and your hung up for two reasons, 1 is the mound of dirt you're trying to drag, and 2 is you've made one complete revolution with the drive tires and buried yourself. Can't slip on that muck dirt.

very smart man ! not hooking to disk lol

Good video. I enjoyed it. Thanks!

We were clearing out an old barn site and I was driving the dump truck filled with old foundation down a wet dirt path and the boss said that I would make, I didn´t go a hundred feet before I had it burried, thank god for the pay loader. That doesn beat the time I was pull´n logs with my old john deere MT and I got into a mud hole and snaped the right hand side wheel clean off.

To all those who say just lift the disc lol when u are in that kind of mud and the disc wheels just sink in then what? Well your stuck. That happened to me a few years ago. I made it through with the cultivator lifting the wheels, The disc just pushed the wheels in on its pass. I did the unhook and barely got the tractor out on its own. Used a tow strap on the disc. I enjoyed watching how they handled this as they had the right idea including not pulling on the back of the disc.

Hi mate very good video but is a night mare wen a big tractor get bogged down because my got stuck in mud last year in June I left there one week 🙏🍻

did anyone else wonder if he was going to keep it spinning and dig it in. These guys know there job. Couple of attemps and just wait for a pull.

If the disk was able to raise up more he would've been fine

Alright! We get out tortilla chips and salsa this year!

I have seen this type of thing several other times and I have a question, why did the Deere that got stuck lift its disk and maybe even fold it up, rather than trying to move forward with it still down? Why did the tractor that assisted disconnect its disk?

The amount of extra fuss to get that field smooth, could be done with 1 pass after a plow with a power harrow.

most would of pick up disk and keep going but some farmer dont learn

Glad to see they used chains instead of straps or cables.

Bigtractor - are you watching the recent postings about the new tires that are allowing everyone on the fields sooner, less fuel and less bounce? Seems some marketing, but I don't have a tractor to prove it!

Funny, as a kid on our family farm in Upstate NY in the 50/60, I never recall getting our tractors stuck in inches of mud. Of course our tilling tools were not a hundred feet wide and the tires alone on this rigs were wider than our entire tractor but still???? When our John Deere or Oliver or Farmall M got stuck, that bastard was to the transmission case at least, or the axle if it was real soupy and you wanted Dad to kick your ass for sleeping while driving. Really, it remembers better than it lived! The high point was Dad was around then!

105 years before , the father of my granpa had loose two oxes during hay season on a pillow , today i ' m lumbing only by hands and on feet to make firewood and boards in this parcel ( species are now ash and alder trees ).

Love the smell of fresh broke ground!!

Yes the 6 cylinders tended to have porous liners but they could be changed fairly easily and quite cheap nowadays. Fairly straightforward machines, bring back the eighties

Hay I see u do alot in mid West you should come up here in Aroostook county Maine

I live in western ky and enjoy watching your videos from this area just curious if u could possibly talk to the owners or something and tell who they are. And maybe where they are.

if he would have picked the disk up when it started to spin he would have came out of it

We had a 8400 and a 6 row amadas peanut combine stuck that the drawbar on the 8400 was 18 inches in the mud, but an 850 Deere dozer put it on the hill. We had to take the dozer everywhere we went

I have a few natural springs, when I find them mold board plowing the tractor doesn't start going down it just lays over. Ha ha

Nice footage! Can I ask you, why do you use those thin double wheels in USA? Here in europe we dont use those at all, just really thin wheels for spraying and so.

Raise the disc!

That's as smokey as the 4440 we had, but heh smoke means power at least in the old days

Might have helped a LOT if he had raised the disc off the ground.. Geez. You can always go back over the spot with the disc lower and at a different angle then the one you got stuck in...

I just usually unhooked the disk & got a chain and then tried pulling it out , if possible I would pull it out from the rear

he did good he didn't have to unplug his rolling baskets with a pry bar like we have on our farm

I need a chain like that!!

Pick up discs sleepy! Diff lock is on the floor

got the atv stuck then the jeep then the 656 then the 8400jd. cat to the rescue

Way back in the day I was riding in the 9100 Ford with dad and we had the offset disk on the back of the tractor. He knew the field we were in and there was a soggy spot we drove through it and he tried to raise the offset and boom it hit the ground like a mini truck dragging frame. He gave the tractor all it had but it was nothing doing. For some reason the cb in that tractor wasn't working so we walked back to get the 8600 which I was stoked about the old big boy going to pull the new big kid on the block out. Well a couple of hours later and boom two stuck tractors and what is worse it was the two biggest on the farm. The next day got a welder down to the field to patch up the linkage to raise the offset and low and behold drove em both right out. Now ask me how many times the 8600 pulled a school bus I was in out of the bottom road just to the south of that field man those were good times.

curious to know why werent all the wheels pulling;; thought that was the purpose of 4 wheel drive on the john deere;; was it broken

Is there any videos on ford tractors?

does anybody know why the 8530 didnt turn on dif lock? not have one?

Learned to pick up First and got out of a lot of times and got out of the mud with no problem. learned it at 10 years old. people don't have common sense any more.

Love it when them old diesels smoke.

I love white corn thanks btp

Did he ever really raise that disk? Looks like with the moist dirt, field cultivators would have been a better choice for seed bed prep here. I still LOL when I hear about "organic" farms...aren't all our farms organic- everything we deal with is carbon based.

Should have picked up the disc.... Lol figures it took a Case to pull out the deere!

driver 8630 clever man, correctly behaved in this situation

Raise the damn disk rookie.

Because your organic, you cant grease your loader? That poor 6410L with the 640sl at 5:50, 8:50, & 8:58 sounds like it never gets greased!!

at least he was smart enough to stop instead of just spinning himself in deeper

What a find

These KZfaq Rabbitholes!! Aye in Scotland we have these Products in our fields too - pity we couldn't find a better use for them - to monetise them - If only I could find time to get a round TUIT - maybe do some research on this "Stuck" stuff ;-) Now I gotta thinkin -an I hope that Ol' Pop - the Driver there, takes the advice with a pinch of pop - to be awake on the job and keep away from High levels of water, or use a much WIDER set of tillage equipment to scratch around to consolidate and dry the soil around the holes FIRST - and if he Dropped the Tire Pressures he may be able to Float like a Fly and Sting like a Bee. I thought that ALL Modern Deeres would have Diff-Locks? seems not the case - Still the case? One has to be so careful in purchasing nowadays - taking things for granted. Thanks for the Patience in recording & posting. Who'd have thought when film made, we'd have a world as it is TODAY - Stay safe.

Not sure why he didn’t just unhook and use a chain to pull it out instead of cutting production down on the case he had enough chain to get on dry ground

6:17 he was actually thinking of putting the chain to the rear of discframe,,,,,

He needed to use the diff lock and would have been fine. But those 30/40 series 4wd have only a rear diff lock. The front axle spins wildly and digs holes. Terrible tractors with terrible transmission!

I sure did think the pulling tractor would need to drop the disc.

That 8630 cost $53,000 in '78. That's like a quarter mil today's money

Those big deer where vary expensive could of bought a panther and a ford for the price but some loved and only bought green

silly ol fool didnt lift the discs out the ground !!! hed have walked through that , needs L plates !!!!

Cool

Not to knock anyone down but that could have been avoided, its called pick up the disk when you come to a wet spot. Person may not have known that but hey, "shit happens"- forest gump

Very inexperienced driver....didn't even lift the disk.

Yeap, trying to get another row on ground that hasn't been tilled in a while

The reason he got stuck is the disc plugged and he didn't pay attention it pulled on the tractor harder.

Note how the farmer bossing the worker around was actually the one that got stuck. And lift the discs wheels up.

Didnt look like disc was lifted up on the Deere !

At least they were smart enough to hook it to the tractor not the disc. Can't believe they didn't lift the disc up ,it probably would've walked out.

Yep. If you're going to run green on your farm you better have at least one red to keep the operation going

It’s already spring in Kentucky?

Oliver 2655 with IH700 7 bottom plow stuck so bad it took 2 D4 Cat dozens to pull me out

The blind leading the blind!!!

Why would you not raise your equipment?
