    Lol, yeah it does look like the wheel came off.  Where it happened is a bit of a wide draw bottom, its a spot I've already driven through about half a dozen times.  Just hadn't driven over that exact spot yet, wish I hadn't.  I figured I was fine then I noticed the tractor sinking in a few inches, looked back and saw the sprayer just drop.  Whole thing happened in like 2 seconds.  

    I got out and just stared at the thing in horror and disbelief, thinking to myself  "I can't believe this just happened...."  I already gotten stuck a few times in the past couple days, but not like that.  

    That tire probably sunk down about 5 feet or so....it left a big hole.  

    The sprayer puts a LOT more pressure on the ground.  The reason the sprayer sunk and the tractor didn't is the tractor weighs about 34,000 on eight 20" wide tires.  The sprayer was full of fertilizer, which is heavy at about 11 lbs/gallon, so it was weighing about 25,000 lbs, most of which was being carried by two 18" wide tires.

     

    Getting the thing out didn't turn out to be too bad.  I drug a tank out there and pumped most of the fertilizer out of the sprayer.  Then I just drove forward nice and slow.  Sprayer was unscathed, thank God.  I learned my lesson and only filled the sprayer half full from there on out and was able to get everything finished today.  

    You need some of those monster truck tires for the sprayer. Lol
