Got stuck on a log bridge but with things I have learned here, a long 12k strap, a come-along, and two strong fellas we got her out. What a day!! All is well! My buddy who has taught me how to farm told me I’m an official farmer now! [emoji1351]***8205;[emoji264]

Looks like building a new bridge just jumped to the top of the priority list!

Glad everything came out with out any battle scars.

We need to see pictures of the custom seat you must use for that huge pair needed to drive onto that bridge.:)

I'd say a new pair of underpants just jumped to the top of the priority list :D

I’ve been married a long time so she owns that pair - which was replaced with STUPID on my part! Lol. And yes I thankfully had an extra pair of pants. [emoji90]

I think that the only person to ever walk the earth and not do something dumb at least once was The Lord. The rest of us have to learn some way and most of us choose the hard lesson. BTDT too many times in my life. Glad to see that everything was rescued without any apparent damage and no reported injuries.

The man who doesn't make mistakes is either lying or dead -- and if he's dead, there's a good chance it's because he made a mistake...

The trick is to make a new mistake each time rather than revisit the old ones.

J, glad your Ok, and didn't mess up yourself or your tractor.

It does look to me like the material used for that bridge is laid the wrong direction. Driving lengthwise on round wood seems to be asking for grief!

This happened over this past winter clearing the pond for the kids. Only thing that saved it was the rear blade. It kept the ass end up so I could grab the come along and pull it out.

They used it for skid steer about 8 years ago / it just rotted...I knew better than to go over it but when it was holding up “just fine” - well u all know the rest. Very grateful myself. Thanks for every comment here! I’ll stick to disking and planting for the rest of the summer!
