Skid Steer on tracks will go anywhere....almost

[Stubborn66]

We got a call the other day for a skid steer stuck in the mud.  This is a brand new machine with about 15 hours on it.  He was clearing this lot and was impressed with how good it moved on the tracks so the day after a big rain he is back at digging out the stumps, then he backed into a hole left from a stump that was dug out.  woops, it wont come out.  It was a greasy mess, I had to winch myself back up as far as I could then chain myself to his dump truck to keep me sitting still.  I rigged for about 20K resistance but I am sure it was not that stuck, after the initial movement it walked right out

Looks slimy.... They go like hell but when they are stuck...there stuck pretty good.

Nice work. 

As you know, It is always a good idea to over-rig when you can for thick mud pulls. The "suction factor" is difficult to figure into your resistance calculations sometimes.

Charge accordingly Of course.. 😎
