Tractors STUCK in MUD 2023!!!

I recently heard of some people in Kentucky inventing a tractor tire with paddles that pop out from the tire when you get stuck. If they can develop those, that would be incredible. When you're out of the muck, the paddles retract and function like regular tractor tires. It's beyond me how they'll be able to have paddles emerge from the tire. But it sounds like a terrific idea...hoping. here's Haha

We farmed the same plot of land for 30 years, discovered all the holes and springs the first year, and got stranded twice. We left such locations alone (did not till) till the next guy came in with big ass tractors and got stuck multiple times a year for the next ten years. When they went bankrupt, the owner demanded that we return. We refused since the ground was ruined and the sink holes had gotten worse.

I always Cringe when I see close recording near those farming tractors pulling each other with CABLES. I once saw something like this and the cable snapped, It hit so hard that he bent the metal on the cabin on the rear tractor and the window was smashed to pieces. Imagine one cable snapping and hitting the guy with the camera. Needless to say he will be in the Hospital for a long time if he is lucky, or maybe 2m under if not.

I'm wondering if it hasn't occurred to them that the tethers/ropes can break and fly around, providing a major risk to the employees near the machines. That's what occurred when my grandfather attempted to retrieve a sprayer that was 4 feet deep in the muck. When the tether snapped, it slingshotted behind the tractor. I was watching from inside the home, and I could clearly see what was going on. He had to grasp another rope and dig the sprayer out more before attempting to pull the sprayer out.
