Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Damn Texas Mud!!

I was really lucky that I had a semi-firm piece of ground a couple of chain lengths away, so I backed my 75hp in there, hooked up and pulled it out.

The 120hp that was stuck was embarrassed his little brother had to save him.

Hell he's got forks, stick'em in the ground and push it out!!

I will tell you what's worse.

Getting an air drill stuck...and then backing up with it in the ground.

You plug every opener on the farm.



That was a bad day for a 15 year old Jim.

That's a front hay spear, it would be like eating soup with a fork.

I got a backhoe stuck once.


Of course I was berated for it because you can't actually get a backhoe stuck.


Dad almost apologized afterwards.....it was stuck.

Sure is comfy though....

That's your first clue.

What color?

4x4?

Probably pink.

That's a quick fix!

$100 says white.

We had a tree down at work and we got the big idea of using the loader in an area the was a little swampy, well we found out it was a lot swampy and we sunk the damn thing up past the axles, if you moved it at all you could watch it sink a little more. there was no way to get another piece of equipment in there to pull on it, it was hopeless.

We finally figured it out after hours of frogging around we would put some sticks under the bucket and lift the front wheels up and then cut up a bunch of wood to throw under them, then we would lift the bucket up until it contacted a large branch and lifted the back wheels up then cut up more wood to toss under.

It took us a long time but we got that bitch out!

We DID! - until the county "operators" bladed it all off into the bar ditches, where (occasional) heavy rains wash it away.
Like into the pastures!
Mora County's entire workforce, put together, couldn't conjure up a triple digit IQ!

Damn, you're just big and mean!

A truck ain't a truck unless it's 4X4!!

And Jim now owes Sam a hunerd dollar bill!!

It's a classic so it's the cheaper model and don't have a lot of frills on it, no heated seats or steering wheel like my wifes car.

That's the way I like my pickups!

My F350 even has vinyl seats and a rubber floor mat.

I like it much better than I did my previous Ram Longhorn Edition with all the bells and whistles.

Mud might have gotten in there in the Harvey flood, before it went to the lease.

Think his pickup was made after Harvey.

The "goo" you encounter depends on where you are in Texas.

The black goo up around Dallas won't let go. When it's wet, it's bottomless.
The red clay of east Texas isn't that deep, but it's slick as snot.
Sand is a different story. The wetter sand gets, to a point, the more like concrete it becomes. If sand is covered with vegetation, IT becomes bottomless. Let sand get bone dry and it becomes bottomless.
Kaliche is like clay. Snot slick.

Shìt!
