If a tractor becomes stuck in a paddy field, it not only significantly reduces work efficiency but can also lead to serious damage to the machine’s components. To prevent slipping and getting stuck, it is essential to take several preventive measures. Here are some practical steps you can follow:
First, it's important to assess the depth of the mud in the field. Pay special attention to areas with ponds, ditches, or uneven terrain. If necessary, mark these spots using branches or other visible markers to avoid them during operation.
Second, consider using non-slip tires, high-pattern paddy wheels, or special iron wheels designed for muddy conditions. Ensure they are installed correctly, as improper installation can cause severe slippage and even make the situation worse.
Third, adjust the working depth and width of your tractor based on its technical condition and the mud depth. Overloading the machine can lead to slippage and sinking. When turning, raise the implement promptly to reduce resistance and prevent the tractor from getting stuck.
Fourth, when performing plowing, hoeing, or rotavating, maintain a water level of 3 to 5 centimeters in the field. Insufficient water can cause the drive wheels to stick in the mud, resulting in slipping.
Fifth, when crossing the field, try to use a hoe to level low-lying areas. This helps prevent ridges from blocking the tractor’s chassis and causing slippage. For fields that are 30 cm high, it’s advisable to reverse the tractor to avoid rear wheel slippage.
Sixth, if you notice the front wheels sinking, stop immediately and reverse back. Avoid pushing forward into deeper mud, as this can worsen the situation.
Seventh, if one of the drive wheels starts slipping, engage the differential lock to drive both rear wheels together and move out of the problem area. Once clear, disengage the lock immediately. If your tractor doesn’t have a differential lock, you can use a unilateral braking method by gently pressing the brake on the slipping side. This forces the non-slipping wheel to rotate and helps free the tractor.
Lastly, if the tractor becomes completely stuck, follow these steps: First, remove the attached farm equipment to reduce the load. Then, turn the steering wheel left or right to try to move out of the hole. Avoid flooring the accelerator and lifting the clutch in an attempt to "push through," as this can sink the tractor further. You can also try using a wooden stake placed about 5 meters in front of the tractor, tie a steel cable to it, and loop the other end around the drive wheel or crankshaft. By cranking the engine, you can pull the tractor out. If this doesn't work, seek help from a more powerful tractor to tow it out safely.
By following these tips, you can minimize the risk of getting stuck and ensure smoother operations in muddy paddy fields.
