Hi Jonas,
I have buryed my backhoe in some pretty soupy stuff in the past. I have always been able to use the front bucket and the hoe simultaneously to pull myself to firmer ground. It sure makes a mess of the ground but thats already a given. Try lifting the back wheels with down pressure on the boom and when the wheels clear the ground swivel the boom. This will swing the tractor to one side, often putting your wheels on firmer ground. Or, push with the boom as you pull with the front bucket. A sunken hoe is a pretty big anchor to try to winch out. But I imagine you probably tried all of this already.
Good luck,
Tim
