This happened on a tile job I was doing. I tracked back over my trench & the bank gave way. It took 45 minutes to get it out but no help needed, it got out on it's own.

Did you really think you were going to make it?

I was only using the 2' bucket which I have done several times. I was ripping the old tile out & it just got a little crooked with the pulling & the bank gave way.

In AZ a guy I was working for did the same thing with his 200lc deere used my 430 to push dirt under his tracks without hitting the gas main (natural) or the water main we were installing and without him picking up the boom into the power lines. It was fun. just thought I'd share a non-mini incident with y'all.
