Your utterly unwarranted assumption re heading straight for t/o is exactly the irrational reaction I was trying to illustrate - I explained this quite clearly and despite that you have just jumped straight into accusatory remarks utterly contrary to any suggestion of mine and exactly as I was trying to illustrate!
That just isn't rational, if I may say so.
In which case why the rush to get out of the mud?
Have you also ascertained the extent of any damage to the tyres, wheels, brakes, hydraulic lines etc? So you power out of the mess and then possibly can't stop...excellent idea.
Better off to lighten the load as much as possible before anyone attempts to do anything.
