Back tire stuck in wet ground
Mt Aire MH gas 38’. Tow truck couldn’t pull from back? No room to pull from front. Tried boards, etc no go. Thanks for any ideas. Pour small rocks down in hole? Thanks, Kathy

Kate,
I just went through a similar with a multi-ton sailboat on a trailer in my back lot. It was supposed to be gone by August.
Your problem:
If the ground is soft, jacking will be really tough, but with enough planks to spread the load out you can do it. We did.
Our axle was also on the ground so just towing was not going to work.
We ended up doing it all.
When there was room, we pushed stones under the tire to support some of the weight.
We jacked enough to get the axle up on planks and dug an exit ramp that we also put also put planks on.
We had to rig tackle to a hard point (tree) because the truck could not get enough traction on the wet ground.
Finally we got it out and now all I have to do is get in a 5yd dump of something to fill in the holes.
