Its not uncommon to have to walk an excavator over a deep trencch. It pretty safe on certain soils and if you dont look off and let your undercarriage walk off into a trench. I walked a 790 Deere ov er 3000 feet of pipe 12 feet deep last weekend. The one thing that got me stuck on an excavator stradling a trench is on a rock Job where we couldnt blast we had to Hoe ram it out using a 5000 pound Hydraulic hammer on the end of a 300 Komatsu. I had one behind me digging till he hit rock then Id ram the exposed rock and walk down the trench. I was under a power line so some of my movements were cautios and i was watching the power line and let a track fall off into a wider part of the trench. I couldnt pick myself op with the ram on the boom so I had the loader man bring me my bucket i used the quicktach to drop the hammer and the bucket to lift myself out.
Ive seen dad walk a standard excavator across a swamp using trees to to old the machine up like a crane mat.
I need to scan a few more of me and the JD scraper stuck at work. I have a picture here of a friend of 2 other scraper operators I work with and me all stuck in a staggered line from driving when it was too dark on the haul road and we were following the others tail lights and found a soft spot.

How does the equipment handle being in the "drink" like that? A pretty hefty repair bill?
Any info on the combine driver? That cab looked pretty bad off. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

how not to pull out a stuck tractor
don't use a D6 and a ford Versital
there is also a second picture of a John Deere ,it is the best thing that could have happened to a Deere web shots

I think the JD dried out OK. If you look closely, you can see the operator in the cab, trying to push himself out backwards with the boom, while the big tow trucks are pulling with their winch cables. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

It was city equipment and a city employee doing the operating, so he probably got a week off with pay to deal with the post-traumatic stress. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

 

[herdfan]

A government worker, huh?
In addition to the paid week off, he probably also got a promotion - lol

last one this one made my jaw drop down, I'am surprised that there is still a forklift to take a picture of.

 

[rockinmywaypa]

OOOOPS I got the order mixed up. Oh well first time adding attachments. I shouldn't have tried so many at once. Hope you enjoy them anyway.

Hey Perry, do you know where this "Ford meets Cat" incident happened at?

 

[PerryWhite]

No... I didn't hear where the Ford meets CAT happened.
I'll ask around. Someone probably knows.
