Bobcat Nose Dive

I got a little cocky for the camera and tried to drive down over the piles of fresh fill. It was pretty soft and when I tried to lift the overloaded bucket up it just shoved the front of the tracks down deeper. I'm just glad I never had my door on.

I recently did the exact same thing on a much steeper slope! I though I was going over for sure! Also, I had about half a tank of fuel, but at that angle it moved in the tank and the engine died. I wasn't to excited about having to climb back into it after fueling all the way to try to get it unstuck. I made sure I threw some rocks under the front of the tracks so that it wouldn't tip anymore. Eventually I got out safe, with a rather large audience haha. Great vids, I'll have to use my gopro

I hate tht style of control. I can never get used to it.

Nice job. I've been there and done that. At least the dump truck pulled you out and you didn't have to get a tow truck and pay a couple hundred dollars.
