Having no experience whatsoever, I have a curiosity question. If it were permissible, once stuck, would it have been possible to dig the opposing bank down to the level, maybe lower, of the stuck machine? Dig under the front tracks and place the drier dirt there for a base? Do this until the tracks could get traction and clear of the mud? Is what I described even possible? I know you were relieved once you got out. Thanks for posting.
@AFHProjects
@AFHProjects 4 жыл бұрын
It is possible. But in this case the water is flowing through and fills the hole. But we dug out the wet clay all the time and put the dry dirt back under the tracks. Basically we did this way.

Drug addicts blacking out at the controls of excavators. One guy slumped over the swing stick and was spinning wide open for hours. Cops came. They tried throwing rocks at the cab to wake him up. Didn’t work. 😂 he finally woke up and stopped. Cop ran up and opened the door. Guy had a needle in his arm. Scary stuff.

I'm not a machine operator, haven't even played one on TV, but I have owned pickups (and a '91 Ford Festiva, my personal favorite) that I've gotten mudded up pretty deep before. Floor mats and dry brush always saved the day. I got the Festiva in a couple situations far worse than you have here where everyone was telling me to give it up and let it RIP as it was already mostly buried, but that silly smurf blue car never let me down and always managed to dig itself out once I sacrificed the floor mats and fed it some scrub brush! Don't tell the ladies, but we know it's all worth it if you're having fun.

it is pretty funny after the fact when it is not happening to you. I did something similar with an excavator a couple times. I noticed how you tried to pull yourself out the way you came. When i had done it my first time I only went about half as far as you were extended, dug my bucket blade in and lifted as high as i could go up before pulling while driving. Repeat as needed. Once my tracks were about a quater on dryer soil i swung around and pushed while driving. A lot less damage. But I can kinda see that the back of your machine might not have made it acceptable.

I think they did. I destroyed they're dams, but I raised the pond level up there again. So they have now big open water. I think they are happy now.

If you try to lift the tracks out from mud then you have to move them to brake the suction.

The hydraulic pump on the Hyundai is about half what it should be. Either the pressure is set too low or the high pressure release valve is damaged or contaminated. Makes the unit 1/2 the machine it could be. The drive motors wouldn't even spin the tracks in one direction. Someone good with hydraulics needs a day with this unit.

You may be right. It's not the new machine. The pump may worn out too.

this might sound crazy but i've got 35000 hours in the seat of excavators. It looks like that machine has weak hydros but if its possible in a situation like that for a last resort is to lift your machine completely up onto the counter weight , rotate your rails 90 degrees and walk down the ditch till you can dig your way up the bank

We blocked the water. But there was too much flow. Later it flowed pass by and the hole was too deep anyways to block something. We just dug it out as fast as we can. I needed to get the excavator out for the morning, because I needed to go to work. We finished it on the morning around 6:00. Started it at the evening 16:00. Worked all night long.
