[AT] How To Get a Tractor Out of The Mud - på Norsk

[Cecil Bearden]

I saw my Dad do that with our old TO-30 Ferguson in 1961 when the tractor 
went off in a washout.  I used it about 5 years ago when I stuck my D6 I 
chained a corner post across both tracks and backed out.  however, I did not 
get the chain through the holes in the track chain and had to break the 
chain when the post came to the end of the track rail...

I now have  3 chains where I had one..
