Those guys are all morons, dont even belong in a machine. I would have kicked them off and handed em a shovel and told them to find an operator to drive the stuck machine out once they got it dug out.

If they were smart they would first dig out all the mud in front of the stuck excavator and then he could pull himself out. They are just destroying the buckets and arms on those things. Did anyone notice that the stuck excavator and the one closest to the camera had an extra pivot point near the cab. What kind are they? I have never seen one with a pivot point on the main arm.

I cannot for the life of me believe that I just witnessed such complete idiocy.
