Just let the tyres down

Ah yes, I guess I could've done. Didn't actually think of that, even though the last time I got stuck in a field (also with a heavy trailer) that's how I got out

The tractor was in the field, so I towed it out with that - though even that was scrabbling for grip until we got moving.

Or let him dig it out on his own!!
That will cure him of his curiosity of stopping in boggy bits..

I'm just pleased it was him who stopped there, not me

To be fair, neither of us realised it was that boggy - thought we were just picking up a small patch or muck, turned out to be probably an extra 300kg old wet trampled hay we loaded before trying to move off...

Had a full day off to myself today so bit the bullet and took the fuel tank shield off to clean it up





It wasn’t too bad but the only real piece of rust I’ve found on the car so wanted to sort it.
Tank is on empty but it’s a pain to take off and even worse to get back on again!
Used the Jack to lower it and then managed to get some straps between the tank and the shield to hold the tank up, but getting it back on was hell, non of the bolts lined up on first or second try, and trying to man handle the tank all the time expecting to rip a pipe and get a face full of diesel.
However, job done, tank shield looking much better and tbh, a good way to spend a “man” day
