Our neighbor with a tractor
has agreed to help us get the truck unstuck.
Today we just looked it over
and developed a plan.
With any luck it will
continue to dry up and make things a little easier.

Ever since the golf cart days, I have thought you need a small tractor. I first thought of an old Ford. But some simple 50, 60, 70's design that was popular in your area and that a the local repair man/center/mechanic "loves" Here's the general idea. I found on Craigslist https://tricities.craigslist.org/grd/4625970275.html The down side of a real tractor is you don't "scoot" like the ATV does.
That Ford 1200 weighs in at 1244 lbs. Approximately twice as heavy as the ATV, I'd guess.
It does have big rear wheels and grippy tires. But wouldn't it chew up the "road" even more than the ATV?
