So I got greedy while flail mowing with my L2501...backed into a ditch with a muddy bottom and sides too steep to climb out of, even with the diff lock and 4x4 engaged. The tractor is probably at a 70 degree angle perpendicular to the flow of the ditch. It was hard to dismount. This is at a jobsite, and I happen to have my MX4800 on site as well which I'm confident will have no issue yanking the smaller 2501 out of the ditch. I didn't have any chain or straps, hence not making an attempt already. So the 2501 sat overnight in that position, and I may not get to it until tomorrow. My plan is to put the 2501 in neutral HST, pull it out, and my real question and purpose of this post...should I wait awhile to start the engine? Let the oil settle? How long?
Thanks in advance.
