    Brings back a bad memory of getting stuck in a muskeg 'sippy hole' while working for my dad years ago in SE Alaska near Ketchikan, AK. We had rented a Hitachi UH181 with a winch on the boom for short yarding in combinaton with shovel logging and loading log trucks. Anyway, the shovel had no belly plate (came to us that way) so it should not have been taken off-road but it was too tempting. Took us two days to dig all of the clay and mud out of the belly of the beast. Had to do it twice and replace all hydraulic hoses twice! Very humbling experience! Great video!

    If this seems bad, look at what Seattle had to go through. The tunnel boring machine they were using broke down deep under the downtown Seattle waterfront. They had to create a giant access hole just to bring it to the surface to make repairs. $300 million dollars and two years later, it was fixed, and finally could continue on from the spot in which it broke.

    I work for a CAT dealer doing inspections and preps on the rental equipment. We have to do the inspections withing 48 hours of the customer returning the machine so that if we find damage done from stuff like this. The coustomer then has to foot the bill. So when we had a week where I was busy fixing a coolant leak on a roller a lot of customers got away with a lot of shit.

      My back neighbor operates a 8T and companies quote jobs cheaper based on him being their operator, if they can't lock him in for the contract they are quoting they have to allow a fairly substantial margin for other operators time/errors. I got him over to do some work one weekend and it was a beautiful thing to watch him work, not a wasted movement, hits level by eye from the cab, just at 1 with the machine. I've seen many good operators over a number of machine types but I've only ever seen 2 fantastic operates and that is my neighbor and a bobcat operator many years ago who was the same with his machine.

    Comment,: Just for the record how big is the equipment that you used in part 2. What is the displacement of the engines ? Do you think a Cat 345 would have worked? I remember driving a 345 ? at the Cat proving grounds ( in those days, Cat would let workers go out and experience driving vehicles). Someone in the group buried a D6 in the mud, not water, and the young cooridnator came over and took the 345 Excavator which I was driving. He then went and put the bucket over the D6 and picked it up out of the mud, not water.. Oh! I was driving a 130 (close) Motor Grader (no steering wheel), and that was an esperience.

      Insurance is usually required on machines of this size. They ain't gonna pay for anything...you are. :)
