Put the 950f to work. Derm Forced the property owner to remove about 2 feet of fill from his property because his property was an environmentally sensitive area and the fill he used was contaminated not sure with what. Been there 2 weeks pulling out about 300 truck loads a week still got about 600 more. That 950f definitely has impressed me my only complaint is damn she is thirsty.20151112_152240.jpg

kind of got the 950 stuck the other night working late trying to get ahead on a project so we wouldn't have to work next week any how it was crazy how it literally fell in, that area is all hard pack there is no swampy area there but it looks like it dug once before and back filled with what ever they can find so go figure we got it out that is all that counts

Looks like you found out how far it was to good footing with your 950. I just got down south of Tampa for the winter, went for a ride on my motorcycle, Wednesday. While riding the back roads keep looking around at the ground, seeing either dry or water standing thinking be pretty easy to get stuck. Then throw in trying to work late and it seems for me things go wrong in a hurry. At least you had a backhoe to dig and help get out.
