It wasn't easy but I was able to free the tractor from the stuck condition I left it my prior trip. I tried several methods of getting it unstuck; pulling with the truck, pushing it free with the front-end loader and come-along. The method that finally set it free was good 'ol elbow grease and a whole lot of digging. One thing that was hindering the process was that the box blade was also sunk, so I dug that out to a point where I could disconnect it, then I dug out the sides of the rear wheel and started a gradual grading of the dirt behind the wheel. I then stuck a big 'ol log under the rear wheel for traction that would travel from the rear of the wheel to the front. I gave the tractor some gas and eased it out of the whole only to stop, before I got the front wheel stuck in the hole the back wheel had come from.
I now had to fill the hole with logs to build a bridge for the front wheel to drive across as I eased the tractor out of its original resting spot. As you can see from the pictures this worked and the tractor was set free.
