Man I was pulling on the arm’s of my recliner and rocking back and forth the whole time, I was even breathing hard bye the time he got out of that bog.
You would be surprised by how often this happens, totally different skillset than cutting grade or digging trenches, number 1 rule is when you start to sink STOP, assess the situation, don't be afraid to seek help before your buried.
I've seen this 200 times and the same idea is tried every time with the same outcome. next time you have a dummy driving your machine have an air compressor standing by with 40 feet of threaded pipe to pump air underneath to break the vacuum because that's what the big issue is... vacuum
Thanks for sharing and putting up with all the arm chair operator quarterbacks. It seems obvious to me that the reason the dozer kept his tracks going was to try and break suction and assist the excavator. The excavator would not pull the dozer skidding.
I was actually the guy in the dozer, and that is exactly why I was doing that. BUT.....I'm not the one that got it stuck, I was just a welder on that job and the guy in the hoe got it stuck. That was a mud desposal site for all of our bore sections that was just being pushed into a pile. To dry out. Lol some of these dude's on here are ruthless 🤣
@@fergusonlandmanagementweld3696 Not to mention, it only took 10 minutes to get it out. It wasn’t like the hoe hand spent an hour before he dug out behind you. Armchair pipeliners.
@@bradkalfee7256 Didnt say they were. In fact, the dozer hand flat ass said he was a welder, and the “hoe hand” was the guy who got the dozer buried. I said it didn’t even take ten minutes to get themselves out. I’ve been around this shit over thirty years. Nobody or any equipment got hurt. They took five more minutes than you would have. Lighten up.
@@fergusonlandmanagementweld3696 makes sense now, I was sat here thinking ‘why does he keep putting the blade down when all he’s doing is lifting the cab up and down really’ now you’ve said you’re not an operator it’s clear. 👍🏻, I’m hoping you’ll say the idiot trying to snap the slew ring and twist the dipper on the 210 isn’t an operator either. 😂😂😂
Anytime you get a machine stuck like that, you HAVE to get the suction lose. Dig the mud away from the sides first. I hope no one is paying you guys to run these machines! Not to mention if that strap breaks the way you are pulling its gonna smack the glass.
I'm an ex combat engineer, used to end op in all sorts of sticky situations. What i would have done, was removed as much dirt/mud behinde the bull's tracks as possible, the hook the bull to the diggers undercarriage, start to drive. And then use your arm in the digger to pull you and the bull out 😎✌️ But nice job, and thanks for the action here on YT 👍
It looked like it was straddling hard dirt too. The hoe operator should've done more digging behind, and the dozer guy should've kept his blade up as far as possible instead of dragging it like he was at first.
I've always been curious why a dumbazz would drive off in soup like that. Not to mention the dumbazz on the dozier constantly spins the tracks that keeps it bottomed out.
Esos maquinitas no puedo creer dé que estén trabajando tán mal no tienen un capataz que les guíe porque no saca todo lo que impide sacar la máquina luego con dos eslingas la saca trabajando en forma de abanico y listo. así va a destruir las dos máquinas estan perdiendo tiempo de trabajoso nota en cualquier obra las cuales fuesen tú tienes que tener el tiempo y viento a tu favor y no en contra de eso jamás se olviden
I love big machinery rescuing other machines. I'm a forklift operator, but just recently completed my training on the excavator, and on my third day I had to "rescue" a dumper which was stuck in the snow, just push it with the bucket - easy. Point is that it's awesome that you can use the immense power of one machine to rescue the other. You usually don't use the bumpers of your car to push another car out of a spot, but with these machines, covered with thick steel everywhere, you can use buckets, tracks, hydraulics, blades - whatever you have handy to rescue someone else - it's awesome! :)
Back in 1986 while I was assigned to an Engineer Battalion at Fort., we sunk a D7 Dozier into Belton Lake. It took two M88 tank recovery vehicles and two HEMMIT wreckers to pull it out. We two officers in the Battalion that were recreational divers. They got drafted to dive in the lake to hook up the two cables. While they were under water a moccasin swam over were they where. Everybody saw it. Our 1st Sergeant yelled at everybody stating "Don't tell them about the snake. We'll never get them back in the wayer!!!" Now body side a word. Eventually we got the dozer towed out. In went to 3rd shop Maintenance Battalion to get repaired. Our company didn't get it back for a year.
Ok I was thinking the same thing, but I was doubting myself. Exactly why not try to dig it out a little so your not fighting the suction of the mud in addition to the fact that the excavator is too small to pull it out
I have watched this several times how does he expect to get that thing out you have to dig out behind it and the guy spinning the track on the dozer wow
They ought to have worked in unison instead of against each other. The man on the excavator was trying to pull while he was lifting the blade to get dry dirt under the tracks. Also, they should have got some of the chains off of the trailer and hooked it to the tracks on the dozer. Use the excavator as a anchor point.
Por fin té diste cuenta carajos no es lo mismo que saber manejar una máquina que saber cómo trabajar con ella porque es el complemento de uno en el Trabajo a mí cargo habian una motoniveladora grande y otra chica u Caterpillar una retro retroexcavadora ñ oruga grande otra chica retro cargadora a ruedas yunday una bulldoserg y una grúa grande creo que desia 75 toneladas y otros tractores camiones camioneta yo siempre escuché a los maquinistas sus opiniones y luego opinaba porque son ellos los que saben lo que puede dar Las maquinas en funcionamiento y trabajando hay que preguntar escuchar leer estudiar los libros de cada máquinas hay que ser humilde para aprender porque todos los días se aprende algo nuevo así es la vida importante hasta dé un ayudante por más nuevo que sea dé el también puedes aprender jaja jaja
Final comment, looking at the heading I would flip it and say operating fool! But only for the dozer, resque with small machine out gunned three to one, bloody well done that man!!!
When I did this with my dozer I learned a few things. The crusty cracked mud looks temptingly safe to cross but the more you jiggle it, the more liquid it becomes. Once the dozer's tracks lose traction they "dig out' the dirt/mud beneath them and the dozer drops until it sits on its belly pan (where it has enough area to support the dozer on the mud) and its tracks "dig" until all their slack is sagging below and there is no way to put weight on them to get "TRACKtion." To unstick the dozer you have to slide it on its belly pan using some external traction like the excavator. The dozer is still "in a hole" meaning it is below the "safe" dirt around it. Not only do you have to slide it against the resistance of its "mud stuck" belly pan, you have to lift its weight to the height of the surrounding "safe" soil (by dirt or other ramp, jacks and blocks, or a crane or excavator). Imagine how much traction the dozer needs just to drive up an otherwise drivable hill! You now need more than that to unstick it. Digging the mud from beside the tracks may reduce suction but does nothing to supply or increase traction, actually making it worse when in mud. Turning the dozer's tracks in mud only makes it all worse, as many here have noticed. Obviously they worked this out, but not very elegantly. As a dozer driver, once you spin a track, you must immediately stop trying to drive until you get some external traction. In this case (as well as my own) it is too muddy to put logs or rocks under the sagged tracks. I had nothing but bog around me so couldn't use my excavator, and there was nothing close enough to tie to and pull off of. I waited all winter until the ground dried enough to jack up my dozer using the 6 way blade. I had no rippers but I was able to lift the dozer high enough, in steps by rocking it on wood blocks under the tracks near its center of gravity. At some point I could also put blocks under the winch. The blocks readily sank in the, now drying muck, but I made a wide enough footprint with them, which gave me enough time to add blocks faster than they could disappear. I jacked and blocked, see-sawing, until the bottom of the sagging tracks was at surrounding ground level, filled under them with dry dirt and rock, and also moved the surrounding soil so I didn't have to climb over even a slight bump of dirt. At that point I quickly drove to solid ground before the blocks and dozer had time to sink again. Needless to say, after cleaning and scraping mud, I now avoid any semblance of boggy soil. Fun problem - better if its someone else's tractor.
The operator is not using the trackhoe to its best advantage. You need to use the machine to dig a little more and then use the hydraulic to pull on the dozer.
to start with, you need some CCR for back ground music, also before getting that far stuck, we used to use a chainsaw and actually spend a few hours setting up, amazing how much flotation you can build to get through or back up, any way was fun to watch, I one time was a train engineer and with our engine had to pull a few trucks out of the ditch on our work trains, we also would carry D5 and a tracked hoe with us as well, amazing the places they would go
The most impressive thing about that whole video was the strap they were using. I believed it would have snapped a chain. Secondly, I'm surprised the camera man didn't get stuck or hurt.
It was made of carbon fiber the strongest fiber known to man. The camera man has years of training in Polaroid usage. He's experienced to say the least a pro.
"Oliver could see that Byron was stuck deep in the mud. Strong cables were attached between the two machines. Oliver pulled and struggled, but every time he backed up, he kept on tilting."
These guys look so intelligent. Just wait till the rental company sees this! Pour sawdust or wood shavings on that mud. It tends to dry things and then it’ll come right out.
AFTER 50 YEARS OF OPERATING, I'VE SEEN JUST ABOUT IT ALL. SAD TO SAY I'VE PULLED SOME PRETTY BONE HEADED STUFF IN MY YOUTH, BUT, I LEARNED. ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS IS STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES. BUT I HOPE IT WAS A LESSON LEARNED. FUN ANYWAY.
Once saw a 1066Korehring with mud up to the top of the tracks and he was still walking. He knew not to stop or try to turn. It took a while but he and it got out. My job was to clean it off.
How many watching this thought about what would happen if that 1 inch cable snapped? I had a foreman shut down an excavator once when he broke his windshield out due to safety. It was replaced a few hours later, and the operator went back to work. Shortly after, a hydraulic line broke directly in front of the operator, shooting with such force that it broke the new windshield again. Had that glass not been there, that operator would have been hit by 350 degree hydraulic oil. It lost 50 gallons in just a few seconds!
Inexperience will kill your equipment, your project and overall budget... Even the relief operator seems inexperienced as well 😂😂😂.... 2 peices of rail ties should always be able in wet conditions
the way he keeps spinning his tracks shows his lack of experience no wonder he was stuck. spinning tracks when nobody was pulling was a waste of effort
Yep. It looks like the dozer "operator" had his blade down most of the time which made it nearly impossible to be pulled out... until he figured out he should lift it. I would NEVER let my face be shown on a video like this if I was on the dozer.... lol (Hose A and Hose B)
First timers I imagine. Better off as hamburger fryers. Dig behind the dozer to solid ground, then pull it out. A dozer is like a boot when you step in the mud. The suction just holds you there, duh. Get a clue
