more pics of equipment stuck!

[bear]

Oilsands guys...

How often do you sink a piece of equipment like that? Is there any way to use something like a concret vibrator to help "settle" the sands? Just curious. :beatsme

the cat that went surffing and found out it can't swim had to be a total loss
get stuck, get out and think. and u can find a way out. Keep moving and sink your way to the bottom

no it got rebuilt at levertons ,it was in the uk and owned by stokey plant ,the credit for these pictures should go to robert knighton ,a plant fitter here in the uk ,he has some amazing pictures ,sadly not to be seen now as someone copied and pasted the thread onto another site with no mention of where the pictures came from

the cost of the rebuild was £100.000 it was not stuck it blew a track motor hose at night

I've really enjoyed the stuck pictures and wanted to share one of mine. I have a Case 1550 that I use on my land for personal use.

I was filling in a hole from a stump that I'd taken out earlier, and was kind of in a hurry as it was getting dark out. The hole had a bunch of water in it and the dirt was turning to mush as I pushed it in. I was being careful at first, but as I lost daylight, I sort of got carried away.

It took me all the next day to dig out all around it with my backhoe, then a ramp to drive it out.

I waited a month for the ground to dry out before cleaning up the mess.

Nice one eddie.

I am sure alot of the guys here would enjoy seeing some of your pond building pictures also.

Funny how I forgot about this stuck picture, but the pond refrence reminded me of it.

I was cleaning out the silt in my small pond with my backhoe and putting it into my dump truck. I had hauled about five or six loads without any trouble.

My mistake was in not realizing that the water coming through my bed was soaking the ground under my tires. With a full load and very slipery clay, the mistake of parking without any barrier behind me became rather obvious.

As luck would have it, my neighbor was in town and happened to drive by on his land right after this happened. He went and got his backhoe, and with the both my backhoe and his, we pulled it out real easy in about ten minutes.

I drained the water out of the axle and replaced it with new oil. While doing that, I noticed that my U-bolts were loose, and so badly rusted that they wouldn't tighten up. I cut them off and replaced them with brand new ones, which I might not have noticed if I hadn't have taken it swimming!!!

..the cat that went surfing and found out it can't swim had to be a total loss

Yea, looks like you get to a point, do you pull it OUT or push it all the way under???

 

[MMSOCAL]

here you go

:usaNot all operators are qualified to work in silt pond. _Back story is pretty much the operator was being pushed to with a 6lgp and then when the dozer hand went to lunch, the hoe operator tried to back fill the hole he dug:beatsme and go dig further out in the silt. As we can see this process was flawed. He kept his job oddly enoughointhead.:usa

Um.....

this one may have been run into the surf to clean it. We did this as mechanics with our machines before repair on the sand mining company I worked for. We would run them out into the surf at high tide, seal off the exhaust opening and inlet and let the sand clean them. They worked in salt water all day anyway

Too Slow

This is mother nature at her best.

 

[Maxpro]

That is just crazy!!!! When I was young my one of grand father's dozer operators got a TD15 stuck. He had hit something like quick sand and before he knew it it was up to the seat. It took 2 other TD15's and alot of cable to get it out. I have to give credit where credit is due. This is way worse!!!!!

You mean Worst,........... Oh its not yours, .......it dont matter then

Wow

All I
can say is WOW. In the mine where I work they have 2 d10's that are in the bottom of the pit, right now you can see the top of one, the other is totally underwater.
