Saw this one this week, had to have a (sympathetic) laugh at the bloke finding what looked to be the only wet patch in a rather large paddock.

worked ground can be VERY deceptive,the crust dries out and looks just like the rest of paddock.....50 quid to knob of goat shit there was a waterline hit by first guy/last guy through the field......slowly leaking but not hitting surface,water pooling in bottom of plough ruts just waiting for something blue to get stuck in the goo. if you look at first photo there is a distinct lighter line across whole field very close to where he has come a cropper.....filled in waterline.... why waterlines SHOULD go along fencelines and troughs be on sides of paddocks......wet spots from leaky troughs are a pain in my arse.

Yip you're onto it, got told later that there was a cut water line. They pulled it out easy enough with a smaller tractor that wasn't in the wet patch.

That one looked like everything had been done right by the operator - didn't keep pissing about trying to get her out and ending up bellied = making the extraction much worse. Time is also your friend, its amazing how you can drive out if you leave it a couple of hours for all the shit in the lugs to dry out (of course that only works when its fine). Had my wee girl stuck a while ago, only 7 tonnes with the post driver on but its quite a bit of weight to dig out. Got the front up with the loader, went home for a coffee and a sulk. Drove it out when I got back. He/she probly could have done the same with the discs unhooked (after several coffees !!)
