How stuck is stuck?

Had to put a new ag well in and went to float all the dirt and level everything as best possible roll up and see this The guy drove into the pit they made for water when drilling while trying to float the dirt out (didn’t know they were going to clean up). Got a good laugh I don’t think he will do it twice

Doesn’t look that bad. Good operator could get it out without trouble. Only issue is a good operator wouldn’t have got it in that muck in the first place. lol

Time to call Diesel Dave

I think he could of pulled himself out too but I guess the machine was “low on power”

Drillers mid is pretty slick

Ripped lower ram off the back hoe?

That's the outrigger, the operator is using the outriggers and the rear bucket to keep it from going in any further.

Now, I’ve done stupid shit drilling, but never that…

It's not even 9am, there's time.

That's talent right there, I'm not sure that is recoverable without help

It would be fun to try to drive that out.

That ain't coming out on its own - I don't care how good an operator you are.

Looks like he was trying to back fill it. Best thing to do is get the drilling fluid to dry out first, and get new dirt in and try to compact with new fill. That shit rehydrates like nothing you’ve ever seen. That area will never stop pumping if you just push the material back in.

Do you know anyone with an F150?

 

[OCMerrill]

Looks like he spent some time spinning tires before he flipped around and tried the bucket

Please make a recovery video for all of us.

I've heard being stuck described 3 ways: You're not stuck if you can still move. Not stuck if the the wheels will still spin. Not stuck if you can still see the wheels spin.

what does that hoe weigh 20K ya that is a mess, My Brother has been on one of these since the 70's and watching him work is amazing to me and more so listening to his machine as he isn't reving the shit out of it but I have watched him walk that sucker thru forms and some pretty tight places... that mud adds a whole different dimention to stuck.

A Case 580 is about 15k, pretty much the same size as a Deere 410. The Deere 710 is about 25k, I was surprised to see a Cat 450 is 30k

I could pull it out if it was here.

 

[Dcb.blake]

I was going to pull it out with our loader we had but the other company insisted on pulling it out with another hoe.

Basiclly 2 machines butt to butt and he used the back bucket to pull it out. Took a lot of finesse but it worked lol

Loader option seemed less taxing on the equipment but it’s not mine so hell with it
