Would it be possible to use high-tensile-strength barbed wire and some jug floats?

Walk both ends to the tractor hitch and then haul it out. Or anchor one end and attach the other end to the tractor.

Just spitballing for items that Rain might have easily available at his property.

(I have not tried or seen my proposal. Definitely DO NOT want to have anyone standing around when a strand of barbed wire breaks!)
