  • its a freakin track hoe morons!!!!!

  • I call it an excavator or track hoe, but everyone has there name for it, don't need to get to politically correct, with heavy equipment going into grassy areas or really any area you don't know what your going to find, but i would say he is good for walking it out like that and having patience so kudos to the driver.

  • Why do people always slag off the drivers ? I have worked on swamp land and water medows and thought could get out of any situation till the other week traveling back across a dry track that had crossed moment earler sunk into a peatbog and once the sucktion gets you makes it hard and the ground is like a grow bad you cant push machine up coz the boom sinks and you cant pull your self out coz the ground pulls though so easy its like digging in a grow bag

    Was luck i could snatch block it out

  • @d324ta I understand that the area might have looked stable enough for the excavator but had people known it was that bad, do you think a 'swamp excavator' would have been a better choice? I know a little about excavators and used them a few time(by all means not a pro) but I know nothing about the swamp version, what is your 2 cents on this?

  • dont look stuck

  • id call it a track hoe...

  • Nothing beats the hydraulic power

  • Ouch, don't envy you here. This must suck. Can tell your a good operator. My dad's friend let me operate his cat. Got it stuck took me a good 3 hours to get it unstuck. Both were laughing there asses off the entire time. He told me i did pretty well for a first timer said with some practice I'll be a good operator. Coming from him that's god worthy praise he rarely gives out complements.

  • hes not stuck thats what the arm is for. other than digging of course.

  • HEY D324TA. I'VE BEEN TRAINING APPRENTICES FOR YEARS. THIS GUY DID A GREAT JOB GETTING THE RIG OUT. BUT, THE FIRST THING I WOULD HAVE SUGGESTED IS YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN AT LEAST 5 MATS ON THE JOB JUST IN CASE. AND OH YEA, I AM AN EXPERT OF 37 YEARS.

  • nice to get stuck like that eh !! been there, done that many times here in holland ! soft shitty bodem. and im on a mobile excavator, thats even wors to get stuck. the last time was a half year ago(check out the vid on my channel) and cost my boss a new gearbox! i told the guy i was working for 10 times its not possible to go in there but still sad no you have to try it ! after that they bring in a tracked excavator anyway! stupid shit!

  • fyi its an excavator

  • On word: SKILLS!!!!

  • thats fukin mint operating he knows wat hes up u can tell clearly by him exiting he hasnt folled the same track as he enterd and 35 tonner is a big ask to have sitting on peaty boggy shit plus u can see when hes pulling out the tracks arnt walking 2 gether which makes life hard in situations like that cats are bad unequal walikng wen using all remotes he did sweet eat dick all you haters

  • holy shit that was intence i watched it twice

  • I'd say he did a bit of work.

  • good operator driving this thing. its not easy to get yourself out of boggy ground like that and he did a good job. all you wanker having a go at him id like to see you get in the cab and do a better job, half of you wouldnt even know how to start the fukin thing lol

  • haha thats funny

  • christ is every one gona have a pop at him end of the day the boy got it out who gives a fuck about how hard it was gona be to clean the tracks

  • Let me guess.

    You own a cell-phone?

  • Good recovery indeed +++

  • ground looks familiar, this in south is ?

  • I'd hate to see you in the same situation lad pushing yourself in deeper.Where did they get you at all.And more to the point,please tell me you are only on a mini digger on granite and not let near anything else.

  • still seem to be a lot of experts out there who no nuthing about the job we were doing or the conditions like wnen you are walking over the ground then suddenly sink out of sight this ground has been hump @ hollowed with stock on it

  • point taken,i dont claim to be an expert at all.I drive a Zx200 on medium to shit ground and I know i wouldnt do what renpolo said or i'd be minus a digger and minus a job.Cheers

  • are no you don`t!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Que susto que este operador levou, hein!!

  • looks like some good westcoast digging!! about some fliping are ya?

  • man im working in the same type of terrain right now but very steep ground makes for a bad time at the end of the day when you gotta clean the tracks haha..this guy prolly knows what im talking about!!

  • sworznie na łyżce zapierdolone ziemią- tak sie nie robi

  • theres always one clever nob who thinks hes better than every 1 else. bet you couldnt have got it out dipshit

  • Digger

  • wheres the part where he gets stuck?

  • have fun cleanin them tracks.

  • ur in the wrong place with that my man

  • Co za ciota że wpierdala się w takie bagno

  • Krystiangsi widać ze nigdy na takim sprzecie i w takiej robocie nie pracowales ; )

  • A właśnie żę się mylisz kolego bo robie na koparkach,, ładowarkach spychach ,dzwigach, wózkach widłowych i nie raz sie zakopałem ale tylko bez doświadczenia i rozpoznania terenu ktoś sie tak wpierdala w tereny bagniste ciężkim sprzętem.

  • heh. Aint ever been stuck that badly. we got swamp pads we use if it gets to bad.. Lucky ya didnt throw a track.

  • fair play thats not a good place to be u done well to rescue ureself bet u let out a sigh of relief done the same myself many a time mainly hoping the tracks dont come off

  • plenty of armchair digger drivers on here the bloke did alright, how do you know it wasnt a soft spot that he didnt know was there until he got on it - sometimes no going back oh and by the way for those of you calling it a back hoe it aint its a bloody digger correct name hydraulic 360 excavator

  • you have got it in one this place was a nightmare.heaps of soft spots that were like this.we spent the rest of the 4 month job sitting on mats.the next block was worse only got some drains in and left it

  • you done alright getting it out though - makes me laugh when people on here insult you when they have probably never even sat in a digger. ive been in those situstions where the ground looks fine you get a bucket full go to lift it and instead of the bucket rising the tracks sink. then you are in exactly the position you were in. good video mate just disregard the wannabe operators on here

  • @markgates2 Some people call it a backhoe. Some call it an excavator. I've heard it called a digger before but the "correct name" for this particular excavator is a Cat 322 cl hydraulic excavator. Not a 360 Look on the back of the machine right in front of the counterweight.

  • @flarpsniffer i appreciate your comment, ive been in the trade for years in england and nobody ever calls it a backhoe here. really we are just splitting hairs. you pointed out the model name (cat 322 cl) its a hydraulic 360 because it describes the fact they spin 360 degrees. ive been to cat, volvo and fiat hitachi production lines all over the world and they all call them 360 hydraulic excavators,(even chinese when translated) s do their fitters that come out. thanks for your comment

  • how can u call him a rookie wen he gettin himself out on his own??

    dumb ppl just jelouse cuz he better than u or mabie he gotta go through it to get to of from a job.

  • people that call them diggers are retarted

  • Comment removed

  • what do you call them then mate . and by the way its retarded

  • @cattrax320 i think you'll find the word is retarded, and when ur in the trade you call them diggers. none of that poncy crap, it would take you all ay to get a sentence out if you used all the correct terms such as 360 hydraulic excavator...plus when there more than one on site you just call em by their model, ie 360 blr etc

  • you can't get stuck with a backhoe and the dude opring the backhoe it's NOt a good op

  • its eaisly done, been in alot more 'stuck' situation and have always got out, its just part of the job

  • you r never stuck if you have something solid 2 grab or pushon

  • For me you can't say the driver is an idiot, the people he working for might have pressured the guy, and they could be un-prepared!

    Fair play to him he get out of the deepest rut, they should have what i and many would call "bog mats" under the tracks, this stops the machine sinking in boggy ground.

    I was operating a JCB JS220 on a canal cleaning job, i had the bog mats under my tracks and the machine stayed up.

  • seems to be a lot of xperts out there unless you were on site to see the big picture of what we were doin. its a bit hard to criticize the job and this operator is no rookie

  • Obviously one yourself!!

  • @Laurids82 such a rookie? i think not!! he did well crawling out of there,very good operator indeed

  • "stuck" ?

  • hes not really stuck he just in a soft spot

  • i hate workin on shitty ground,

  • Thats the kind of operator i would hire..get it done... no bullshit..ha ha hard core operating...

  • When I get in a questionable spot I crawl in backwards. Leading with drives. If you have to get back out you have more track power.

  • similar thing happend to me last month, my ancient JCB 3C got Bogged down up to the top of the bonnet eventually, because it was pissing it down and it just got worse so we decided to just bury the thing! Shame, it worth a bob or two.

  • wow i cant beleive i fell for this

  • just think what it would have been like if a track came off!!

  • I am disappointed, he wasn't stuck at all..

  • may want to invest in some swamp mats,(just dont fall off them)

  • what i did when i was stuck in a swamp like that was clear out as much in front of me as possible and push my way out cause i had no pulling traction i kept digging down but couldn't get anything strong enough.

  • I feel for the poor bastard that has to shovel the tracks out...

  • LoL u cant get stuck whita digger nerly imposible.. use the arm!

  • yes you can.. if you cant´t reach something solid to grabe you wont get of there.and if the ground is to muddy, then the mudd will creat vacum under the excavator. them you will realy need a nother excavator..

  • @sweeaa if the back end goes down past the groundlevel then you cant slew to get rid of the bucket full, then you have to just pull urself out with whatevers in front of you and if its too much, then ur stuck.

  • At least you're not driving a 307C, It woulden't even have enough power to pull itself out .

  • tells you that it takes a lot to stop a CAT. nice work.

  • dragline operator ? what r you operating ive got a couple of 30 s (ruston bucyrus) and a 54

  • well done gettin out of that shit man lol

  • u were lucky 2 get out of that!!

  • look like very soft ground ...

  • wat a ass!! any gud digger driver nos not 2 go on 2 peat ground without bog mats!!

  • mate they had mats they had the whole nine yards

  • wth are you thinking your tracks are stock and you went into that slim .... get the mod for your tracks dude makem wide

  • I like that one "Excavators don't get stuck.. Just delayed" haha

  • just think what it would have been like if a track came off!!

  • You were just lcuky it was a little 322, try that with a 350 or 365. We have had some pretty nasty digs. Have you ever worked on muskeg, makes that stuff look firm lol

  • stuck, thats not stuck! stucks when you've only got the top of the cab poking out the ground, and watching your efforts there you've no chance if you get stuck!

  • lol i thought it was grave digger....dumass should say catapiler digger stuckk.....dumass

  • how many panels did they bend?

  • digger was goin the other way, i had to dig around him so he could slew around then pushed a log under it. this ground just turned to liquid when you dug into it but it wasnt the worse area we had to develop,it was a battle.

  • theres no way a dozer will do what we have done in this swamp we had two diggers siting on matts to develop this land. it has now been humped an hollowed, grassed with dairy cows on it.

  • >westcoast swamp crushing scrub

    Why use an excavator. Its for digging pipe and foundation holes.

    The rough land will remain rough until you use a bulldozer, so use a bulldozer to start with.

    Or keep the digger on the leveled surface and keep levelling the land as you proceed.

  • You are joking right? How long do you think it would take until that bulldozer was hung up? As soon as you lose traction with a dozer you are screwed. At least with an excavator you can pull yourself back out. With a high track as soon as your bottom idler goes under you are toast.

  • they had the dozer on the harder going and it got stuck no chaance in hell it wuld have even approced it

  • "You aren't stuck until you're out of fuel!" is what I always say.

  • "you arent stuck until your out of BEER" i run a 345 cat high and wide u/c and 18 inch cab riser so my feet dont get muddy

  • great i love it

  • now , give it a wash , park up , and fck off :)

  • You know - you're not stuck as long as you can move!

    (unless you are moving down, down, down of course...)

  • gd dam that arm is strong
