    A full sized 4 wheel drive pickup might get you out..... especially if the ground is harder where he would be..


    That tag is killing you...

    I was more stuck than that last time.....a Mazda B4000 4X4 gave me 2 or 3 feet. The boss came by with the Sierra 3500 4X4 gasser, and walked me outa there without touching the throttle.....solid ground for the pulling vehicle makes all the difference. I used about 20' of chain to keep them on the asphalt directly ahead of me. Shoulda got pics....

    In my situation there isn't solid ground just more of the same stuff the trucks on. 4x4 would still be able to do something but not as much as it would on cement I wouldn't think..

    Are you in a rural area? If so and your driveway is soft also I'd try and get a tractor lined up. They're easier on soft ground. Is it supposed to get cold overnight? If so dig it out like the other said than do it first thing in the morning while there's still a little frost in the ground. That's my plan anyways. good luck

    No chains on your drives?? Chain your drives and dig out behind your steers, I bet you drive out.

    Actually, as deep as your drives are now, getting chains around them would be a bugger.

    but you may be able to jack the drives up without burying your jack and get the chains on OK.

    another good idea, my neighbor has a farm tractor that's probably big enough to pull her out. now if i just can catch him at home.

    Yeah and the way the skirting is on this volvo can't really get a shovel behind the steers enough to get any digging hardly.

    Dig with a claw hammer. Put snow chains on your drives .
    My driveway used to be like yours. Always had a skytrak forklift available to pull me out.
    Good luck.
