Dang that not good. Good luck

We talking needing just a truck with 4X4 or tractor type of stuck?

A 4x4 with mud tires might be able to do it, but I'm high centered. I'm on Walker Rd. It's a county road but it's muddy.

A tow service outside of waxahachie might be able to make this work in a couple hours with a tractor

I've got the 4X4 but my tires aren't in the shape that would be considered "mud tires".

This thread is worthless without pics.

Im at work but could come get you out tonight when im off if no one else can. How close are you to a road or solid ground? I only have all terrains on my daily driver and it is a z71 silverado. Im in downtown dallas for the day till 7

Try to call the county commissioner for that precinct. If it's a county maintained road then they might help.

Any ducks?????

Man you shoulda known that road was gonna be bad after yesterday's rain. Know where you were headed and it was probably a good move, but that road def needed a couple more days to dry.

How far down are you? Did you cross the tracks?

Highly doubt he made it to the tracks. Cant tell you how many times ive gone down there and said nope, not worth it. I bet its real bad right now, I feel for ya man. My opinion your going to need at least a 3/4ton with mudders in order to pull you out if not more. Wrecker probably will not even come close to you as they dont do the off road thing.

I will be in the area friday afternoon, if I can help in anyway let me know.

If I had the stuff down here I'd come help ya. All the good stuff is up north.

Hope you stopped by the ATM this morning because it sounds like this could get expensive for you.

I have a 1 ton with mud tires, but I'm in Austin, wish I was closer, I've been in that situation and it's not fun.

All the way to the tracks...

So far:
1. Walked to the house at the top of the hill, real nice guy but his tractor is out of commission.
2. Borrowed a shovel and walked back
3. Realized that wasn't going to work so went back up to the house
4. He got me the commissioners number who said their guys are busy all day
5. Flagged down a guy who runs an excavation service. They're on a job but will swing through this afternoon just in case.
6. Called the sheriff who found a wrecker company with a 4WD tractor
7. Guy at the house drove me back down on his 4wheeler carrying a hi-lift
8. Tried to jack it up and throw boards under
9. Tried to pull with the hi-lift off of a tree.
10. Waiting for the tractor...

Call the county sheriffs office. They have someone that can help. I know from experience... If they don't call Navarro county

Some pics would help people judge if they can help you or not

Any birds at Bardwell? Did you at least get to hunt?

Dang man, wish I could help. My tractor and trailer are currently parked in a wetland.

Try calling Navarro county. They sent us a guy in a 80s model blazer on 44s with a 300 foot 20 ton military winch.

Ouch....hope youre ready for that bill...

See if you can find a solid tree limb about 3-4 inches in diameter and cut (2) 3-4 ft sections of it. Strap them to the tires horizontally with the long end sticking out and try to slowly crawl yourself out. Ive done this a few times at my deer lease and it got my truck out easily.

What kind of truck are you in?

No come along?

That Blazer is a beast! You call him though your going to PAY! Ask me how I know.

Yeah $800 later

That commissioner would not get my vote next year

$800... OUCH!!

I'm free boys! I'll send pics this afternoon.

Martin Towing got me out. $250 seems like bargain at this point

Ouch FD.

Glad to hear Zach. Yep got to pay to play.
What they pull you out with???

Now, back up and get a good running start and try again.

Ask the wrecker guy to wait though.

now powerwash your wheels before the mud bakes all inside

Will that keep my wife from finding out?

probably not about the $250

Man I hate that I just saw this, I was down there and just got home to North Dallas area. Just dont usually check the forums while im out.

Been in basically the exact same pickle before. 2WD Silverado (I know) on a road that I didn't realize would be in such bad shape. Came in that morning fine, got sideways trying to get out and went into the ditch. Tried putting tree limbs under the tires, but one tire spun on them and blew out. Three hours later we got out with a 6-wheel tractor. Fortunately during the downtime we had a couple of pistols to blow off steam. Currently shopping for a Tacoma TRD.

You know there is a closer way to get where you are going right? I'll PM you the road. It is much better! Hunted that area for years with my grandpa. That pond is where we trained our dogs too.

$800 for the tow and $200 on the quarters at the car wash getting that mud off......

Zach - Glad you got out okay with nothing broken. Happens to the best of us when we have the duck hunting bug and trying to get to a place you should never be.

Mud tires needed.

Guy up at the house is a good man, keep in mind there is a construction company around the way and they have mobile equipment that could save the day.

great news

TELL THE SHERIFF THERES A BABY IN THE TRUCK..... IVE DONE IT AT THE MALL...

Haha, you ain't kidding.

Just read this. I was actually out that way today, wish I could have been of some help.

The sticks on tire tip has been filed in my memory bank!

First off... You guys are a bunch of lake namers! Who said I was even hunting?

Second off... thanks for all the offers to help and advice. I really appreciate it and hope to offer the same if I ever get the chance.

When I thought there was still a little hope.


When I realized I would have to tell my boss I would be in the office at 2.


Best view of the day...

Yep, we got to spend some quality time together today. Good guy, and I'll stop in and say hi to him next time I'm out that way.

If I saw this earlier I would've come helped. Now everybody knows why all my trucks have a winch.

Now go buy a winch. Put a front receiver and get cables so you can move it to the rear receiver when needed. $500 will go a long ways to being able to free yourself.

If nothing else get a come along and about 200 feet of heavy duty (10 to 12 mm) static rope. I never go anywhere without it. They are slower but cheaper than a winch but work great. Gotten myself out of a number stick situations!

I remember when that happened. Same Road?

No
