Stuck in a Ditch! Needed winched out.
I got my 4x4 really stuck in a ditch.
But Rubi came to the rescue.
So now they are friends for life. Rubi affectionately calls the tractor, "Deere!"

JackJeep,
Nice Jeep! Are those the ProComp 8179's? If so, do you have any more pictures from the side?
Was in an accident yesterday so I need to quickly decide on whether I'm getting new wheels now as my front was trashed along with bumper. I have been eyeiing the 8179's but have not seen them on a Red Rock yet.
Good news is now at least I can get a new bumper.
Thanks, any add'l pic's would help in my decision.

That's what I like about Deere tractors, 4-wheel drive. Not to mention the standard rear diff lock. I want to get the 2520 Utility Tractor, just because it's cool.

Yes the wheels are 8179s. I was trying to mow up to the edge of the culvert. The weight of bucket tipped the tractor forward, I slid on the set and my foot hit the forward pedal. Bingo, I was in the ditch. With the weight of the bucket, the tractor just sat and spun in 4 wheel drive even with the rear dif lock engaged.

i think you were aiming for it... so you could get some good winching in.
