I agree with the guy that said if you keep playin with it, it's going to be big $$$$.
You need to get a farmer with a big tractor that can craw in low gear and pull you out or call the tow truck.
Mine was almost stuck this past winter the same way.
I got lucky and drove out.
You snap a tow rope it's going to do some damage.
Like a lock line on a river boat.
I would use no less than 2 - 30,000 lb tow ropes.Last edited: Mar 13, 2017

I don't know if they make these heavy duty enough for a truck, but I can swear by them on SUV Pickup etc.

If you do try to pull it, dig out in front of the front tires and put some heavy boards down it can easily roll onto. You want to lift that front end up over a fairly long stretch, not all at once.
In my previous life, I made about 120 deliveries a year with a 2 ton truck loaded with live fish...... Can't tell you how many times people would say "drive on back there next to the pond, it's all solid", and then sink 6" down into their purdy lawn. Anyway, I'm somewhat of an experienced hand at getting trucks unstuck from this type of situation. Get the dirt dug down from in front of the tires, and then put something solid down to roll onto. Usually, it doesn't take all that much if you don't have to lift the truck up onto the mud. I've gotten unstuck once by a Jeep Wrangler..... Put a lot of tension on the strap and let it start creeping. And for Pete's sake, don't spin the drive tires.
If you want to lift each side up, get a heavy enough pair of jacks, and put them onto a railroad tie or something similarly solid. Once one jack runs out of reach, start the second one, and relay up from there. A pair of bottle jacks is a lot cheaper than a tow.joseph1853 Thanks this. -
