Cat 330 excavator stuck in lake

Got our caterpillar 330 stuck in a lake. Trying to catch too many fish at once. Had to dig it out with 325. Took over an hour. Machine was about 8' deep in muck.

@d9oper8tor Apparently you are not an operator either,A real Excavator operator knows how to get him/her self out of the stickyest situation,It looks like you are a dozer operator from your name .If that is true,Stick to dozers and leave excavators to professional>.>>>:)

I was an excavator operator for a number of years, and never could I not get myself of of the stickyest situation.I hope that operator Retired after this video was made.

so what you do there is take the bucket and jam it in the dirt, stick out boom down, and then pull your self out as you track forward.

@mharrop396 no they let me cut it up for scrap

Just the type of video needing banned from YT. Sure, seems harmless & fun, but that's how it always starts. One big excavator decides to grab the bucket of a bigger one. Then some gentle tugging of each others boom, touching each others hoses, & rolling around in the dirt leads on to one of them pulling the other closer. After 100 or so hours of operation, you wind up with a couple of small excavators, tracking through the neighbours yard, breaking their trees, & digging ponds in their garden.
