- So After the Dozer got stuck, they had to rent a trackhoe to do some work and then got it stuck... After we helped em get the trackhoe out, we had to get the dozer out

As soon as i heard "hey bubba" it all became clear to me how this happened. I was just surprised it wasn't followed by "hold my beer and watch this shit"
I'm loving that there was a guy named "Bubba" involved with this !!!
You know the best part of this video?
I was not there.
Isn't that the TRUTH! Gotta wonder why they drove a dozer off into that bog.
Looked like pure silt. No bottom for a WHILE!
I'm sure there were exciting moments for them---we just did not see all that.
That's also my favourite part.
We all get stuck in mud, but the difference between experience and idiocy is knowing when to STOP turning the tracks and drilling yourself down a self made hole.
THAT is where it's AT! Knowing when to quit before you go out of sight!
I have gotten stuck in swamps but a hoe can snag something to walk on usually and not leave the scene of the crime. Stumps or poles or brush but just don't go too far. One at a time is enough.
I love it. If you haven't been stuck you are missing out on a lot of fun and learning how to get it out. Seems like they got it out just fine, other than standing by the chain.
As soon as he said bubba at 55 seconds.Sorry could not help myself.
Ouch !!! Yup Yup...
The Joys of playing in mud when playing with Construction Equipment!!!!
No Problem!!!
Just a bit of lost time and some good laughs !!!!
Thanks 4 Sharing Bud.
Yup, that was in there. If the dozer operator had tried just a little harder, they could have trucked it back from China......When the mud is over the top of the tracks, STOP, its already too late. When you have mud coming into the cab, you are about to lose a lot of money....
I swear some people just have no business running heavy equipment ugh

It's easy to do. It can be dry 10 feet to either side but you get lucky and find the puss pit to China, it happens.
nardp96 I've been there with a d7.
nardp96 it's also easy to see when the machine starts sinking, then it's even easier to just stop b4 you sink as deep as this guy did and go get something to help pull you out
true, my mom once rented a small back hoe because she though it was dry enough after a literal drought and 90 degree temps for a week and a half...fuckin thing sank damn near over the front wheels and it was so muddy it just pushed the mud instead if the machine
I'm pretty confident you needed a swamp dozer.. bugger. You probably own that one now.. lol
Now you know you can't go mud boggin' with a nice set of 44's and a lift kit!!!😂😭😂
I"m just so impressed with THAT CHAIN!!!!!!
Are these the same guys who got the excavator stuck? Good lord, stop renting machines and go flip burgers. Harder to mess that up.
Scott M if they screwed this up, I don't want to eat any burgers they cook either............
I flipped a burger one time, couldn’t never get it to run the same afterwards
At least they smart enough to stand by cable like that !! If it were to break there would be less smart ppl out there !!!
I was thinking the same thing, I wonder if chains are at least safer to be near when they snap. ha probably not. I've heard of people losing limbs from snapping cables pulling barges.
@@DJRonnieG I think recovery straps are safest
all i'm sayin thinning the herd, thinning the herd
@kamphwagon1 thanks for the pool of knowledge the link shows what appears be manila rope or something not a recovery strap, Ive see chains pop and knock out the rear window of a truck. And no chain, rope, cable, or strap are made for tug of war but some are in fact made for vehicle recovery but whatever Opinions are opinions
It was too wet and those boys almost bought some scrap! I run a 5-K LGP sometimes and it won't float. Yall did a good job.
this proves the rumor that bull dozers don't float
Usman aj
I just sunk a 4wd tractor to its axles in a ditch today. It hasnt rained in 28 days and temps have been in the mid 90s. Ya never know where water could be. So, I aint judging nobody. At least I discovered a fresh water spring that I plan on tapping and diverting to the pond.
This is A M E R I C A !!!!!!
We ain't scared to get a little bit of mud on the tires ! Lol
CATs have nine lives...
Funny that, Cat is short for caterpillar. Its got nothing to do with wild cats . Interesting how usage changes over a short time.
One of the better examples of the difference between: being able to run a piece of machinery, and operating a piece of iron.
this is the best part about rented equipment......
LGP Does not mean it can go anywhere. It is still a heavy piece of equipment. Haha
Surprised it wasn't ruined, that red clay is hell on me here too in SC bro.
The red stuff is bad wherever it is. Got you in SC.
I've had tractors sink in ground they previously drove over just fine. It happens. Anyone using machines off the beaten track has had one stuck, or been lucky.
Austin Shackles exactly. A lot of guys on here are so quick to criticize. Things like this happen, you're playing in mud, eventually you get stuck lol
ike fun I've seen plenty of good operators bury machines. Just because you get hung up, doesn't mean you suck lol I've also seen plenty of self proclaimed "good operators" that talk a good game about get people killed. Also I'd refer to that pus pit this guy got stuck in as muck, sooooo
There's a big difference in getting stuck and sinking a dozer like this guy did
I swear, the instant before he addressed the operator, I was thinking to myself, "the Bubba that buried that dozer should have known better".
Compliments to the backhoe operator. Good job.
Excavators are such useful machines
Man put some trees down an walk on it. Or just work around that spot till it dries. Knowing when to stop is key. Looks like it'd been there for weeks
"There's drivers, and there's screwdrivers..."
Or..there's 'drivers' and there's 'drovers' i.e cattle..
Genius at work !
Got to love rentals!
That trackhoe made it look easy.
How do you not know a mud hole from dry land. A new crew is needed.
Should sue CAT for not installing pontons on their dozers. You would probably win in todays day and age lol
Eastern Explorer huh))uhunh7uunyuyyyyyhhbyiby yggggggggggggbhhib
They actually make swamp tracks but man idk thats just mud.
Good job getting it out
There is one machine that could clear out the mud easy. When Disney started clearing out the swamp in Orlando, Florida they used draglines as the primary means of moving muck and Meier until they dug down to solid ground having said that and been stuck numerous times stuff happens
I've run draglines off and on for a long time and I've walked draglines on MATS over places I couldn't walk myself. You make your own road. It's interesting work.
Nuttin like a good Ol' Mud Bath! 😁!
Damn
REALLY!!!! Dude actually drove that heavy machinery on wet mud. How foolish can u be?
👌
You guys need a Huey for this one. Only option now XD
Put up the "idiots at work" sign next time before starting the job. Chuck a lucks.
dam where did u rent a d 5 i need one
where are yall from?
what part of louisiana are you guys in? im from baton rouge... been in similar situations myself....
"Bubba"... Ya, the a that's a shocker.NOT...
was this Gold Rush , swamp version ?
hi
damn!! that stinks. but at least they got it back out.
Looks like they had a HOLE lot of fun ?
what part of the country
Some people never learn.
How does that even happen... smh
Did you read the instruction first??
Was he taking notes from Todd Hoffman?
they not know the land was to wet..
This firm's a real shower first the excavator now the dozer..
that's why you get the rental insurance
Why drag the dozer out backwards through the length of that hole when it was already lined up to come out going forwards so much easier..?? Maybe there's a clue in why it was in there to begin with.
Bubba on the bucket...so fitting.
Some of these rental operators couldn't drive a bargain, never mind a dozer.
Looks too wet, give it a go anyway, yep too wet, now we look like idiots, hahaha...
yeah! somebody else gets to listen to the swearing, wade the mud, drag the chains...
looks like a baby CAT stuck
question: do these and other heavy equipment generally need or require some repairs, as it were, after having been submerged in mud for some time? Or is simply no additional attention necessary?
Mud is terrible for any kind of equipment, mainly because it can cause major overheating because there is nowhere for the heat to dissipate to other than the oil, the other issue is that the mud can harden and break into seals causing oil leaks or possibly causing damage to hydraulic cylinders as well. Most of the time the equipment is protected from this, but having things like this happen can damage certain components or cause abnormal wear on the machine.
Depends on if it is a rental or your own machine! Rentals never need maintance they just run until they are resold. (Not true but that's usually what really happens) however if it is your own equipment then by all means it needs attention, as mentioned seals, fluids, berings all need regular attention and I'd clean that machine up and do a go over before continue in to use it.
Yes they should have the fluids checked with other things checked like final drive gears ext..
Impresionant
Can't fix stupid. To run it to that point it's dug almost over the engine. Then bring another piece of equipment in to help and get it stuck also.
Now on Craigslist. Slightly used bulldozer for sale never been in mud.
...hard to excavate mud...quicksand is even worse...
Yeah Bubba, curl your bucket in some...sheesh!
How tf??
Cat Rentals next equipment at Ritchie Brothers auction has been well taken care of never been in the mud or anything like that
I guess if there were a lot of mosquitoes, that would suck
aww how cute his first rodeo.
" Where's the Dozer Dude"
Your standing on it. - 👇
I don't think this can be classified as an accident. I would say it's just a plain old fuck up.
That was easy ! Easy stuck and Easy out >>>>
who is the circus manager? time for a new bunch of clowns!
That's what she said.
Who check the area & picked right machine for the job,,the super int is in trouble!
These people should not be renting this equipment clearly seen
......Holy Shit.....
makes me cringe every time I see people pulling with a chain
Chrisd5341 why safer than a wire. As long as it’s not a lifting chain
Chains fall when they break. Cables cut your head off
ike fun you got me shaking my head boss
That wasnt that bad looks like they just pulled it right out by the pic i would have thought it would have to be dug out
that's crazy
Ummm🤔, yea....thats too wet!...lol. Looks like fun tho!
Dozer was too small, excavator threw it back.
whats it cost to rent equipment of that size. Looking into building a lake and tare down some old barns and get ride of some concrete foundation.
+Michael Anstead Depends on a few things.. the Dozer around here would be roughly 1700 a week and the hoe would be somewhere around 2100 a week.
thank you sir
Seriously bro??? Wtf???? This is why you hire professionals, smh
Rental agreements should include IQ test.
mud usually wins
a good power washing. all good :)
Hate mud and snow probably why I live in Arizona nice and dry 300 days of sun
poor dozer
Nothing ventured nothing gained
STUCK LIKE CHUCK
no shit!
What a BAD day!!!
A real operator would have walked himself out of the hole with his blade but then again a real operator would have felt it sinking and would of backed out
Can you say you’re fired!
