There must be fifty ways to get a bobcat sideways or stuck. So far (in the last few days) I've discovered three already. The first time I eventually got myself out with minimal damage. I called it a learning experience. The second time was a little more serious and required a bit of head scratching and some strong pulls with the pickup to straighten things out enough to get mobile again. Today we were filling in the area betwen the two fileds with sand, basically building a road just a teeny bit wider than the track of the bobcat. THings went pretty well until thr last load... then got a little sideways. This was a lot more serious!

BUt there is always a way out. The excavator dude who was putting in the septic field was only too happy to give me a pull with a sturdy length of chain and we were mobile again.

Life is all about learning and these days I'm learning plenty! :)
