Tractors do a lot more than make sure fields are properly plowed. In places with a lot of snowfall, these heavy machines pull plenty of duty clearing roads so that people can get to and from work without getting stuck or sliding the whole way there.
Of course, some storms even catch tractors unaware. This one might not have been clearing highways, but even a parking lot can become a big issue if there’s enough snow in the way. Thankfully, tractors are built to deal with things like this – as long as it can start, it can probably get out of there.
Necessity Is the Mother of Invention
Getting the landscape looking its best can be a tough job, especially if you don't have the right tools. But, a few hard workers are always ready to devise a workaround. Don't have a hedge trimmer? No problem. Just Loop some supportive cables under the chassis of a riding mower – keeping well away from the rotors, of course – and start moving.
Depending on the setup, this might even be faster than the traditional way to get perfectly manicured hedges. It also means schlepping fewer tools, but you're definitely going to get some strange looks if you do this in a suburb or a more populated area.
When You Want to Get Your Work DONE
Fields to plow? Grain to carry? Anything else to do around the farm? Consider it done when this tractor starts up. In actuality, this is a racing tractor, and we hope it wins because otherwise, SOMETHING will get destroyed.
Look at those three huge exhausts! How much horsepower does this thing have? Thousands, maybe? This tractor is ready to start its engines and bring home the trophy. Don't worry about safety; there's a roll bar. We've finally figured it out. Any time a tractor gets stuck in the mud or a lake, this is the machine that they roll out to free the first.
The One Place Tractors Can't Go
Tractors are the kinds of the field, the construction site, and plenty of other places, but even they shouldn't go everywhere. One of those places is deep water, a sea or ocean, for instance. We're sure this guy had a good reason to take his tractor for a swim, but we can't see it in this picture.
Still, as long as he has some solid ground, he's not stuck just yet. Solid ground under the water is a little harder to find than on dry land, but it doesn't look like he's in any trouble if his friend's stance is any indication.
I Think I Need More Rope
Look, guys, I'm pulling as hard as I can, but I don't think I will be able to get it out of here. I'm not even wearing any pants. Everybody knows you need pants for this kind of job. We don't know why this tractor decided to take a swim, but it's in the middle of a lake now, and getting it out is more than a one-man job.
We just noticed that the rope he's holding isn't even attached to the tractor, so this one might just be stuck. It can't be stuck that badly if the guy is only up to his knees.
