Tractor is a Massey-Ferguson 50E. 65hp Perkins diesel and absolutely amazing hydraulics. If I stick the loader bucket too tight it will lift the rear end off the ground. That’s with loaded 16.9x28s and 1000lbs of box blade and suitcase weight hanging off the rear three-point hitch.
Pump is a 1/2hp japan-made trash pump that I bought off of Amazon. Best $300 bucks I’ve spent in a while. I burned up three of the $70 china-made pumps from Harbor Freight since I started on the pond.
I grew up farming. Been stuck and helped neighbors who were stuck more times than I can count. I ran a 7600 Ford pulling a 16’ spring tooth cultivator into a creek bottom seep hole one time. Same deal. It was sunk to the belly before I knew what happened. Took another 7600 Ford, and 3020 JD and a 4020 JD all chained together to get out. I got a good butt-chewing for that from Dad’s partner. And another one when I pointed out that if he didn’t want me driving into it he should have told me it was there. LOL.
I’m smack in central Missouri myself. Six miles east of Columbia and a mile and half south of I70.
I am just east of Hatton on route E, neighbor.
I’ve killed more coons than I can count and they have killed a dozen chickens, and destroyed more sweet corn, well, you get the picture.
