The HARDEST Recovery We Have Done | Bogged | D11 Bulldozer | Vlog 210 

Thanks! Doesn’t feel like we run a smooth operation sometimes😂😂

Youse did good work lads top job, guess it was all down to Phil though as he seemed keen to get off early and pick that bike up

Hang some car tires along the length of the chain?

I had to rescue a 307 that concked out climbing back to high ground when working in the tide on Sydney Harbour. We used the 20t Hyundai on a barge to lift her clear of the water but she had been under by then, so I had the job of flashing her back up. Stupid think was I asked the boss if he wanted me to service her before she went out and he ignored my advice and of course it was a blocked filter that ruined the day. My compliments to you all for staying calm and methodical.

Spot on😉

Yeah I think we will be right for another adventure for a while😂

Clearly I wasn't present during this operation 😅😂

Holidays.

I wanna see Brad giving JD a piggy back haha

@@fowletm1992 what are you trying to say about JD?

Actually, a bipod might be better. A tripod would need to be set up with a pulley and be stable in two directions, plus you couldn't run those straps through a pulley. A bipod however, you could connect to the excavator, then connect to the dozer and angle it more to the excavator to start with. Then it would lift the excavator as the dozer pulls it before reaching 90 degrees where hopefully lift is no longer needed. If the length of the line between the bipod and the excavator is a touch longer than the height of the bipod, then you wouldn't even need to re-rig it, just keep pulling and drag the bipod along which would actually help pull it out of the mud anyway. The real issue is, having a couple of beams strong enough with feet large enough to bite into the ground without sinking to bedrock, storing them, transporting them and setting them up. At that point, it would be easier to use another machine to carefully dig out an easier path for the excavator. Maybe an even smarter system would be the use of airbags. Think of 4x4 exhaust jacks. Well, they do make them much larger and whilst they are normally used with special air compressors, technically any air compressor would work, just a bit more slowly. They spread out the weight over a large area and use very low PSI (which is why you can hold one over the exhaust of a car to inflate them), so they are perfect in soft mud. A quick Google shows one intended for 4x4's rated to 4t for a few hundred bucks and I've seen them rated for at least 20t but not the prices on those. And at most, I've seen them rated at just 15 psi (some even lower at 7 psi). Honestly, just for laughs, I'd buy a couple of the 4x4 ones (still good for using on the 4x4's), and see if two of them can lift one end of the excavator on soft ground (not bogged). If they can, it may be a smart move to give them a try when it is bogged. Inflate them both and wait a while, inflate them again and let them break the suction slowly (if they can).

Haha message it on facebook if you can👍

😂😂

Unfortunately the springs are year round, can’t get much drier then it is👍😁

Moree is our main hub, where this video was filmed is closer to bellata👍😁

😊You’re looking at the Kaputars.

I think we would need a 3 inch😂

Haha no need to try, if we leave Brad alone long enough it just happens😂😂

Hahaha or bog-it Brad😂😂

lol@@thejacksonbrothers

​@@thejacksonbrotherssavage but when you're right! 😂

Have to see if it dries out😂

😂

What’s the biggest one they do?

Black Snake rope similar to Yankum rope i had a 120T rated one

@@darrylpaulhus3069 Bailey's is the best hands down.
