He starts yelling at me, and I’ve had enough that I yell back. I tell him he’s the damned fool who bought a piece of land which had sat undeveloped for decades, because it was full of gypsum and clay and turned to a huge cow patty every time it gets any water on it.

He fired me. Three hours left he called to rehire me. I had already called a few people I knew who had worked for him before and left, and had another job lined out.

You can only put up with stupid for so long.
So how did they end up getting all that equipment out?

I don't have many pictures of my stucks with my little tractor, these two weren't too bad, the last few were worse... :). The second one is older but it might not look like much but I was pulling a pull type disc at the time hooked up to the tow point just under the PTO (it's not a drawbar so I'm not gonna call it that...)...

Not sure how my wife did this one. That area is solid. Bless her heart, she dug out so much the frame was on the ground. I went out after work, dumped the 5 tons of gravel, hooked up and pulled it out.

We still laugh about it, atleast I do.

This is stucker. They have to probe the swamp just to find the dozer.

This was a great video! I didn't watch it tonight but have seen it a few times. I'm always amazed that they were able to tow it off, once the final drives were removed. I believe that in another video they showed it after they got it running.

I remember a story of a dozer that was buried at Camp Roberts Ca. in the 1950's . Could be the exhaust stack sticking out of the mud between the barrel and the sign post. It might still be there , I never heard of it being recovered

Supposedly there's a dozer lost on a pipeline, about 50 miles from here. I haven't been able to confirm it though, it was lost in the 1950s.
