I am tied down the next couple weekends so just had to get away today even if it was just for the afternoon. I got my errands done and got in the van to head out, just someplace local. The early spring weather was as predicted: Raining most of the day. The location was local and I know the property owner, so if I left a little bit of ruts in the path it would be alright....  Well, OK it was my own backyard... And, as I have told people, the ground is REALLY soft after it rains... I got out OK but pulling in, it just sunk, and with just a touch of throttle, it was done...  Hey, maybe that PullPal will work in this ground?! 

Oh, I know how bad getting in soft grass can be.  Done it at least four times out on the farm.  I once had my Pathfinder in so bad that it took us four days to get it out.  We had a newer model tractor like this one... four days...

Locked the front hubs and backed right out this afternoon. The water table in my yard is so high after it rains that the rut behind the tires was half full of standing water...
