tips for unstivking a combine

Good luck Klause, feel for you there guy - that's no fun at all. Stay safe

In tight quarters a 3'x3' 3/8's steel plate makes a good base in mud for a 20 ton jack. Attach some grab chain to the base b4 hand. Getting ruts filled under tires is a start, crushed rock best.

sounds like nightmare taking it off and with some well placed ties under header wheels it wont weigh a thing

like others ,normally i would say drop the header , unload hopper ,if you can . but with the honey bee ,your gonna have to have a pretty good plan to rescue header.
not a lot of experience, but had better success pulling backwards thru ruts.
good luck

Trying to visualize the mess you're in.

Something you probably know:
Do not spin the wheels on the combine when extracting; it turns into an anchor, They only need to turrn slightly faster than you are moving.
Suction in mud is a huge factor. Dig away as much as you can.
Take care. Work safe.

60 foot rope and trackhoe. Slung to both sides of front axle rope under front of feeder house. Lift snd pull eith hoe. It's out woot

Good to hear! Too bad about the soggy conditions.
There is no chance of working low areas around here. Much wetter than last fall.
Oh well....
