I’m stuck!

I had MAXXtraxxs with me but it was bottomless. Winch was just a faster option than moving the tracks 20-30 times.
 
It looks like one of those duck excavators they use for ponds and dredging wetlands. Did they have to bring in another excavator to dig him out?
Tried couldn't get him out. They ended up dumping stone on top of the pipe run burying the trench boxes and all and then walked it back out on the stone. This was on a job adjacent to one of ours ground was unbelievably shitty. We were there for an entire season. We got something stuck literally everyday. Good times, not.
 
It wasn’t me this time

I have a decent sized live oak tree that is right next to the pool. Being tired of always having leaves in pool and worried about having roots in the pool decided to get tree moved. The front yard was kind of damp still so I put some plywood down so he could dig the hole

Got that done and then moved to back yard to get the tree. This is when it became a long day

It took a wrecker and my tractor to get it out.

It was at that point that the operation changed from moving tree to cutting firewood.

Bummer, you always hate to lose a nice tree like that.

That sucks big time! Is the company going to plant you some new trees in order to replace that one?

Not my rig. Found this one out in the hills behind my house. The idiot had actually came straight down the hillside from one of the ridges above, probably over 500 vertical feet without any sort of trail/road. They ended up in this ditch just a few yards from another road. Not sure how they eventually got it out of there but it was gone when I went back a couple weeks later. I can't imagine that this didn't involve copious amounts of liquid courage to even try to drive down the hillside they did.
 
Rain today after a foot of snow melted in the last 2 days. Jerry should just say his wrecker is broken when they start calling.
He said he pulled one guy out and he went right back and is totally buried now. Guy said I'll get a back hoe....LOL
I have seen D9's get stuck trying to dig out tanks.
I once used a whole stack of picnic tables to use to get our tractor unstuck in the park after the idiot supervisor drove around after I asked him not to along the lake shore.

Or you could say to yourself, maybe I should wait a day or so....LOL
