Weak Track motors maybe ? I Had that problem w/ a 225 Cat once . New track motors fixed my problem We had a man my granddad was friends with we bidded a lot of jobs together .
He had a 25 American w/ a 6V71 Screamin Detroit in it used to love to hear that ole American 25 load trucks in a dirt pit all day. 1 things fer sure ya could hear it working coming down the road going backin the pit where ya couldnt hear the 225 Cat we had till ya got in the pit.
HAHA this is funny to watch. It really does look like a crane chasis. I think its the reason why it didnt come out under its own track power. Also hence the fact that the cab sits on the left and not the right or vise versa.
They are trying to sell this machine on machinery trader.my advice, buy a newer one as they used very thin material in the booms and sticks,as a result they cracked because they underengineered the machines because they did not have a good understanding of such a new technology at the time.
sounds like an oldie but goodie..12v71 Detroit.When everything else fails,this machine will still dig a hole..without electronics and failure prone shit like on the new machines..just don't be in any kind of rush,or it'l create a malfunction proportional to your amount of rush.
Get a pair of excavator tracks and you'd be fine a cranes pads are made to sit on a hard surface, hence why there's huge wooden mats under a big crane.

That was painful to watch why would you walk into something so narrow, you have the hoe? Make your self a better road, probably be faster too.
