Stuck in the Mud: John Deere 8630 4wd Tractor

[buckshotaaa]

The 8630 driver is a complete spanner, no attempt to ease the implement up when the tractor starts to loose traction then when he ties to get going, no diff lock enabled. He looks old enough to know better, what a tool!!!!

When the tractor with the front bucket comes out it completes the ensemble for my 2 year old son and he gets so excited!! Thank you for posting all of the videos!!

@bigtractorpower any time we have ever gotten our 8430 stuck when working ground we raised it up, left it unfolded and then unhooked and have always been able to drive away. Then pulled the disc or chisel out with a chain when the tractor was on dryer ground. Great videos love the big tractors.

I have been stuck to many times we farmed swamp ground you never know when you going to go down. Working for other farmers it is hard to know the ground. Biggest tractor i got stuck with was a John Deere 9200 with 32 foot disk. Oh the joys of getting stuck lol. Thanks for the video.

I watched a local farmers hire help get his D6D dozier stuck while clearing some wetter ground. Sunk it to the top of the tracks due to an inexperienced operator. By the time they got someone who knew what he was doing they had an John Deere 8630, 4840, and 4630 all sunk to the axles. They finally got an old man who worked in construction for years on the dozier. Within 20 minutes he basically screwed that dozier out of that hole. Within an hour he had all the others pulled out as well. An experience operator is key in getting equipment. I was just happy to see they did not hook to the back section of the disk. Seen it happen too many times resulting in bent up disk frames.The man running the 8630 knew not keep digging it down and not hooking it up wrong. Older and wiser!

Talk about getting stuck, roughly 20 years ago when I was probably 5-6 my grampa, sister a year younger, and I were out in his 7700 Ford with the hay carrier and probably 8 bales we were driving to feed cattle got halfway to the pen and drove through the ditch. That’s the only way to get there and has been travelled though everyday for years and years well we ended up getting the trailer stuck when he locked the diff in and sunk the rear tires too. We walked back to the house and my sister and I thought it was the longest walk ever at the time remember our age lol. Ended up having my grandma drive us in the old ford truck while my grampa drove his open station 7600 out with the chains and pulled her right out. I’ll have to get pictures of it and share with you on Instagram but probably the best memory of my grandpa farming.

While scraping sediment out of a pond one very dry summer. I drove the tractor over some organic matter in the pond. Sank immediately to the axle. Worked at it for days trying to dig enough material in front of the wheels to drive it forward. Didn’t work. No trees to winch it out. Tractor was facing the tank dam with a fence on the opposite side. My boss told me to chain two railroad ties to the front of each back wheel. Start the tractor, put it in the lowest gear available. While idling slowly let out the clutch. The back tires slowly climbed up the ties and rolled over so they are now behind the wheels. Just like that the tractor was out of the mud! Awesome! Most amazing feeling!

This reminds me of a good story. Several years ago my Grandfather got stuck discing some food plots in CRP. He was using our biggest tractor, a John Deere 4440 with clamp on duals and a 19ft disc. My dad and I were both at work that afternoon so he had to let the pair sit overnight, leaving us a nasty surprise the next morning. Not only did he rock the tractor back and forth trying to get out until it was sunk to the axle, he had raised the disc up onto its wheels and left it up all night. At firs, we tried pulling tractor and disc with a John deere 4320, but to no avail, the steel cable snapped in half and slammed into the cab, smashing lights and sheet metal. Next we tried unhooking the disc, and chained a 3020 to the 4320; still no movement. It took 4 hours of pulling and digging the mud away from the 4440's wheels to get her out.

Extraordinary, a miracle, they pulled the tractor out with another one!! Love those JD articulated tractors, still great value for money, and if taken care of should go on for years.

[gleanerk]

Thanks for sharing, been there a few times in the past . I’m sure glad they hooked to drawbar on tractor and not disc. Organic that be interesting.

[Farmerknowsbest]

WOW! Look at the front left dual on the tractor. The wedge lock is WAY off even. Tire wobbles several degrees.

We had a really wet spring in 2013, got stuck 5-6 times pulling field cultivator. I had a 30 foot chain with me so when I’d get stuck I’d raise it up, unhook and get the tractor out on dry ground and pull the field cultivator out with the chain

72 series Case tractors were some of the most reliable equipment ever made

Over the winter and early spring if 1960 the Mississippi river came up 4 times. 1 week coming up, a week up over the levies, a week going down and down a week, then rinse and repeat 4 times. Each time I would leave a 1" of fine Iowa top soil. When we started to farm it we were helped a friend of my fathers. He had a John Deere 630 and our Farmall 460. Each tractor had a 16' log chain on the front of the tractor and another on the back of the disk. As soon as you spun a wheel 1/2 turn we would stop and let the other tractor pull around to pull you out. 250 acres of that mess. We were lucky to get 50 acres disk in a day with 2 tractors. 4 mph was all the tractors could pull the disks first trip over. We had to disk all the fields three times to get a seedbed. Twice we got it all planted and we got a big rain before the soybeans got up and the ground would seal over like concrete. This disc them twice again and replant. Everything got planted 3 times and finished planting July 20th

We need to all remember that they are organic grower they don’t know what there doing

Love these big tractors, much bigger then my Kubota L2550 from the eighties. Greetings from Andreas from the Off Grid Sweden Channel.

Got stuck one time in a field while using a JD 4840, pulling a AAMCO 16ft heavy cutting disc.It was in NC where I grew up, and the ground was heavy clay.I came around a corner in the field, and hit a swampy area that I could not see, due to all of the weeds, went straight down to the axle, before I could do anything.My partner was driving a 4640, and he just pulled in front of me, hooked a chain and pulled me out.We never could plow that corner, it never dried out enough in the spring to plow it.

[PAFarms]

Not much to other than that is one sharp looking Magnum!

[johnbates]

Could've unhooked disk and drove tractor out hooked chain to disk and pulled it out. Hook back up and back to dialing. Done it many times in field by myself.

The wobble on the left dual is a optical illusion, I had a beer it was there, then I had another beer it had gone, , , so if u see a problem go straight to the cooler for the beer, and hey presto, a pissed farmer. 😂👍🍺
