Wow, you were stuck. I did the same once - misjudged the drop off in my pond and somehow thought scooping the weedy much out with my tractor was a good idea and since the front end was 4’ lower than the hard ground couldn’t use the FEL to push up. I eneded up twitching it out with my truck but learned a lesson.
Glad it had a good ending, and yes you definitely deserve some chocolate/raspberries etc.
