1010 stuck + future winery pictures
1010 stuck + future winery pictures
Well everyone, Here's a few pictures of me getting Big Bird (its big and yellow right?) stuck along our new fence line. The other pictures are of our fence... 8ft to 10ft tall for a 800ft border. We put chicken wire a foot or 2 in the ground so the rabbits won't dig under the fence and eat our plants. We planted a few dozen apple/cherry trees, 200 raspberry plants, 100 strawberry plants, 60 grape vines, blueberries, and a large garden for now. This is our dream, the future Lake Superior Winery.
Thanks for viewing, please ask questions! No 1010's were injured during the filming of this broadcast. (yea yea we pulled it out of the mud with the case 580 backhoe)

Kind of makes me glad I havent taken that winch off of my tractor. So if I did get stuck, At least I would have an alternative?

They manufacture ground anchors for winching that supposedly handle the weight of smaller crawlers. I've never tried a ground anchor and not sure it would work well with a crawler, but have pondered getting one for my medium duty truck. Here is one example of what is out there:dustin wrote:Not much around for a winch to grab besides mud and loose fence posts! Could always hire the local high school wrestling team to pull you out with a rope.

(1) JD Straight 450 crawler dozer with manual outside blade; (2) JD 2010 diesel crawler loaders; (1) JD 2010 diesel dozer with hydraulic 6-way blade; (2) Model 50 backhoe attachments, misc. other construction equipment
There is always a mudhole deeper and wider than what can be winched out of- thus the need for another crawler

Glad to see the women working!
Its good to see the work being done by these machines!
If man can break it man can fix it .. it just takes time and money.
That is an interesting concept but it would have to be very large to pull a crawler out of wet clay. It would be dragged through the stuff easily, while the ground has a death grip around the machine.Tigerhaze wrote:They manufacture ground anchors for winching that supposedly handle the weight of smaller crawlers.

I was pulling some large white pine logs out a swamp and had one that wouldn't budge so I chained the dozer blade to a swamp maple and started to winch as I realized the log wasn't moving I looked around and the swamp maple and I were surfing across the swamp towards the log .It made for a long day as that was the solidest anchor around .Digitup.

Hi: I've used "deadmen" when the only anchor was too slight to do the job; ie: a rubber tired backhoe wouldn't hold against a stuck dozer, but after digging a hole and burying a hardwood log with a choker attached, I was able to self extract the dozer (and not damage the backhoe). The wheel and tire could work too - worth a try when options are few.
