This is how we got our Tractor unstuck. Ford 4000 1974 stuck in a creak. We used a large board fastened to the wheel to drive the tractor out if the deep mud. After many failed attempts with another tractor and f250 truck with a tow rope, we decided to try this idea and use the strength of the tractor to pull itself out. The old tractor weighs around 7,000 pounds with the loader and rear weights attached.
