Like a grown-up version of trying to empty out the lake with a small pail at the beach, this driver seems to be fighting a losing battle against this water. Of course, we don’t really know what he’s doing – he could be grabbing for a scoop of some nice, soft mud. For some reason.
We’re told that this tractor didn’t get stuck, but that still leaves the question unanswered as to why this big yellow monster is wading into the water. Maybe it’s a really, really difficult form of fishing for those expert anglers who really need a challenge.
Good and Stuck
This list has many tractors in unfortunate positions, but it's hard to get more unfortunate than buried. The front wheels are almost totally hidden, and the back wheels have also sunk a lot. Even the blade in the front will need some help getting out of the dirt and mud.
It's no wonder no people are working to get this machine unstuck – you probably need a couple of other tractors to get it loose. Such a shame, too. It's such a bright, pretty red color. It seems really clean, besides the fact that it's buried up to the engine.
It Happens to Everybody at Least Once
It seems that not even farmers in Thailand are safe from their tractors getting stuck in the mud. This group has an extra waiting in the wings, so at least they are not totally sunk. But our heart still goes out to the hard-working farmers all around the world who have to lose an entire day getting their tractors unstuck.
From the cornfields of Iowa to whatever is being planted in the field in this picture, nobody is safe from the sucking grasp of Mother Earth. No doubt any farmer is well-acquainted with this issue and knows exactly what to do.
Like a Pig in Summer
When we're kids, being able to take a roll in the mud is a rare pleasure. Most people don't do it all that often as adults, but it looks like it isn't just animals that enjoy getting dirty every once in a while. While it looks like this yellow tractor is wallowing in the mud, it's probably that the tractor is good and stuck.
Amazingly, even a tractor with such intense treads is able to get stuck in the mud, but we imagine there's enough mud in the world to get almost anything stuck. There's no other mud on the entire field, but enough is enough.
Keep the Rubber Side Down
A little bit of parental advice tells us that the wheels stay on the road, but it seems like someone didn't pay close enough attention during tractor school. Clearly, everybody can see the problem, but why exactly did the problem take place? That is a very good question.
It seems that the brakes on the trailer failed, resulting in, somehow, a pair of tractors crashing into each other. There's another tractor a hundred feet away, tipped over on its side in the middle of a field because of this accident. Thankfully, both drivers escaped with nothing more than minor injuries. Oh, also, one of the tractors snapped in half.
