Deere is sinking!

Well, the excitement is over. I found him sitting on the bank drying out./w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

The pond is returning to some degree of normalcy, with the ducks out of hiding and a boy fishing. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif.

The boy told me that they hooked up 4 winch cables from two trucks and "pulled that sucker out."/w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif

General rule - When something is stuck... it will take something bigger to get it out.

Do you suppose they got a permit from the DEP for working so close to a wetland? I am pretty sure that is a violation of quite a few laws....../w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Or lots of them.

You're probably right about it being a "wetland". Deferred maintenance of more than a decade has changed this rainwater runoff collection pond into a wildlife refuge of sorts./w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif

Thats a pretty neat little Cat loader they have there. I didn't know that they had a rear engine track loader model.

 

[Will_C]

Most Cat track loaders have been rear engined for about 12-15 years now. It is an old concept brought back. Many of the earliest track loaders were designed that way for balance.
Cat also brought back the high track idea found on their dozers, D4 and up. The earliest Cletracs were designed that way in the 1920's. The more things change,...

Neat, interesting pictures. Makes me think about being a little more careful with my 'Bota.
