Used my L2800 today its 4 wheel drive but the front tires were spinning and I was stuck....had to back up...it has a front end loader but if I put even 200 lbs in it tries to lift the rear up. This is my first time on this forum still don't know how to post...btw your neighborhood looks great.
After you get used to the tractor, use the bucket to ease you along from stuck places, backing up. No need for a load in the bucket then. The lip is set into ground with bucket full dump position. then curl the bucket "up". Go a little at a time, assisting only.
I've never got stuck with my turf tires! have pulled many zero turn mowers out of ditch on my street. I bet if someone stood on front end you would drive right out.
I have been driving a 4x4 truck or SUV all my life and you guys are right, sideways is the way to go. Unfortunately with with ditch it is either sideways or straight through while mowing. Sideways worked, so I told my kids: "Hey watch this...."
You went the right way its just too deep!! and to deep to cross diagonal to in fact with that deep of ditch You have to get a bigger tractor or a shallower ditch. Mine would cross it because I have a loader that would help get it across!!
If there was a body of water, like a pond or lake, from that ditch going away from you would you take your tractor and try to mow the pond edge? Probably not. Your concern would be to end up in the water.
Well, you did the same thing. Just no water so less risk of personal or tractor damage. You made a bad decision. Used your equipment where it should have not been on that day.
