[AT] Speaking of Stuck

[John Hall]

Last year we had a mess planting wheat. Guys were getting stuck 
everywhere. Come June most were wishing they had left the seed in the 
bag. Anyway, the 4020 is the biggest tractor we have and I was having to 
work around some serious mudholes. I even had to back into a few of them 
to plant as much as I could. One pass I went by a wet place doing just 
fine, coming back by I thought that Deere was going out of sight. I 
looked back and was afraid the drill would self destruct. I knew better 
than to stop or we would never get it out without calling in neighbors 
with a bigger tractor. I just held on and gave it a bit more throttle. 
miraculously pulled through, no damage except to the field. That same 
afternoon I saw a fellow not so lucky. They had to unhook the drill to 
get the tractor out, then run chains back to get the drill.
