Advice stuck combine

[sk_wheatking]

Just a minute I thought that it was all laughs and good times harvesting in conditions like that? You better look at all angles and think things over before you put the hp in action. Never mind what damage you will do to the machines just don't hurt yourself or someone else. I don't think that people realize how dangerous it is pulling out combines and airdrills that are stuck and suctioned right down to the ground. Forget chain if you can. Be careful and good luck. I know how stressed you are.

Since only your one front drive wheel is down and empty hopper. Otherwise if back is down and more grain in tank the cable likely should be attatched to front axel and run under rear axle for lift. Although maybe them big new deeres can take anything.

JD 9500, one wheel sunk to axle. Can I pull out backwards, without someone in the cab? I'll empty the tank first. 100 foot cable. Leave the combine shut off? In neutral? I plan on digging down some and placing a short 4x12 plank for the wheel to climb up and out on. I'm only five feet to the grass and more solid ground. Mostly wondering about the combine being shut off, or started, so as to not cause damage, nor incur resistance to rolling. Thanks

Also, I plan on connecting the cable to the front axle.

Pull it out backwards with someone pulling back on the hydro at the same time. Use the tow hook. You will have to take the chaff spreader off to get to it.you won't need the board. Pull into it slowly with the 4wd. Use the biggest tow strap you can get.

Make sure your hopper is empty. Dump it on the ground if you have too. If you try to drag it out with no one in the cab or not trying to power itself out you will have a wreck.pulling it out backwards is safer because it eliminates a strap breaking and going through the windshield plus it will come out easier. Pulled out my 9600's in 2010 constantly.
