Bulldozer Rescue

[@dozer1642]

A track loader is in fact not a bulldozer.

[@david427steel]

Seemed like they figured out the hardest and most expensive way to do it.

[@PATSICK]

That was truly amazing. a. there wasn't any bulldozer involved in this video; b.the chain loop onthe tow fixture of the front loader was running at about 250% of it's safe load rating c.0nce again really good machinery that never should have been treated this way, saves really foolish people who never should have been at this job site.

[@outcast861]

This wrecker driver must be a few cans short of a six pack there is no way in hell i would pull a 45,000 loader up a hill like that with two single lines hooked to one chain take the time to do the job right double your lines back hook to two separate chains and do it safe you are very lucky that chain didn't let go under that pressure or a cable didn't break . I would much rather have 100,000 pounds of pull as to 50,000 with that weight and angle of the pull

[@sickandtired353]

Can't say I agree with how they did that.

[@1899lpv]

Got stuck once and I was alone until an older gentleman told me to use chains and logs tied to the tracks. It acts like snow shoes and once the chains are close to the wheels you reset them with new logs and it works. Its time consuming but it works.

[@ippielb]

I own a 973c and i pray to god i never get myself into this kind of situation.

[@ROAMinstuie420]

WRONG. those are double grouser track pads instead of singles which dozers usually have. excavators have triples which allow for easier turning but less traction. and ps they look like their smooth pads cause their packed with mud. clearly you have never worked on a muddy site. i love the keyboard operators that have run all this equipment and know everything.

[@oldscout2514]

Did you pull it up the bank, because it went in that way ? Why not start it & drive it out ? Was it there forever, before you rescued it ? Lots of questions I know, but I always wonder why ?

[@paulbrasier372]

Some of the stupidest questions ever.

[@uticaplay]

Rome read my post very carefully."This was a tracked loader that does not have grouser pads like a dozer but more of a crane type of grouser." You do not dispute the fact that it was not a bulldozer to start with, you admit there is a difference between the grouser pads as well as I had established, you also point out the lose of traction in the pads as well. So what was your point? Buy the way anyone that says you get can't get a dozer stuck never drove one long enough!

[@kdw75]

You didn't need any tow trucks. All you needed to do was to hang on the upper back corner and bounce with your legs. That would teeter it down on the tracks and you could drive right out. Or if that didn't work just throw some kitty litter under the tracks.

[@MsRagingbull21]

hate to have the bill for those two wreckers rough day huh

[@slimG2082]

At my work we have 3 973 and we run grouser pads to build roads in blue stone quarries , never seen one stuck yet

[@dweathers56b]

I call that maximum effort for minimum return.

[@SpcPoole]

because you know his rig better than he does.

[@bottleforty1]

I'm not an expert, but you think the loader needs new tracks?

[@integr8er66]

No, track loaders don't have large gouzers, the tracks are made to slip so you can dig with the bucket without digging a trench with the tracks.

[@ROAMinstuie420]

it infuriates me how many people try to act like they know it all. i haven't been in the business that long but i've taken the time to learn as much as i can about the equipment i run. cause as important as it is to walk the walk u still need to be able to talk the talk. nice chattin' with ya lol taker easy.

[@NZDIRT]

bunch of muppets. i garuntee you that they could of gotten that trackloader out with the excavator in 1/2 the time.

[@g.r.4853]

Don't much care why they brought it up the hill because they were there and know much more than I, but the guy driving the Cat has either the biggest balls in the universe or a death wish.

[@JimBloggins1]

Or very little experience and his being stuck was the result of that in the first place. I've worked around operators who do the most stupid things because they think that's just what's done.

[@enterBJ40]

it wasnt easier just keep driving forward ?

[@raphielmonendez1230]

I had a 963 stuck once and that stunk big time !!

[@garengtutorial8923]

👍👍👍 bagus bos

[@coltongarber8087]

That poor 963!

[@abcd33995]

Cat 963C not is bulldozer.

[@kdw75]

If that chain had broken things wouldn't have been pretty.

[@kennethrobinson11231]

There no way that engine is getting oil. You need a new operator.

[@dozerman8114]

I apologize a little bit that was not a 53. I need to look at the # and machine itself closer.

[@a2zhandi]

I suppose your right. If he wanted to drive to china..

[@FILIPFROMSALMO]

Hey- thanks for the hundreds of hours of entertainment

[@3113-q5z]

How did he end up in that hole

[@ThePeterbiltKenworth]

That is a track loader not a bulldozer

[@dirtking9329]

how many tow trucks and drivers does it take to do 1 excavators job???????????????

[@panzerstrom]

How come nobody with a dodge dually cummins has posted that they could pull this out no sweat very strange am I still on You Tube.

[@teamidris]

Already got rope on, so might as well keep going I guess. Saves having to hand spool them back on.

[@busdrivernine]

liten to the little IHC DT 466 giving it hell all wound up

[@alco424]

That's hilarious, and sadly, so true!

[@jeantnk]

I did not like! The steel wire could have broken! Do not take any security measure. Never work on the side of a steel cable that is trying hard.

[@LottsaLasagna]

Moe,Larry,Curly,Construction.

[@madswordsman88]

HAHAHAHAHA yeah internet experts are brilliant human beings are they not? Opinions and expert criticism on every subject. Perhaps these people should start up a training academy for all us 'amateurs of life'.

[@uticaplay]

I used the term as a simularity crane type pads are not as aggressive as a dozer grouser nor are the loaders as aggressive. Heck ROAM most people don't know the difference between a track hoe and back hoe in here ok ? Peace

[@LUTHERJ304]

963c track loader. From cat.

[@joserosario6846]

No.son.operadores.

[@6771Randy]

ROTFLMFAO! You speak the truth brother!

[@slayer236071]

must have been a couple union operators lmfao! did the hoe operator not know how to dig him out? and did the loader operator forget he had a hell of a power down on that bad boy! have dug out way worse with a little 160 lc great rig operators but ti cant figure out wich failed worse the loader or the hoe! haha good recovery!

[@MsRagingbull21]

maybe thinking it was a bulldozer is what got him into trouble there lol

[@ohot0]

A little meat on the under carriage would make all the differance.It's like off roading with bald tires.

[@hurricane6907]

I like it when the sidewalk supervisors call anything with tracks a 'digger'. Thats how you know they know what they are talking about.

[@b.j.scherff3166]

another well thought out and coordinated recovery effort by the Silverback. "The best way is the hardest way" Why do people like this get to use such nice expensive machinery?

[@russellclement2058]

He pushed a track in the other way but I guessed this was the best way out

[@likeaboss860]

Hey man I know what you mean, I see all the same "pros" usernames on every video I look at. I would love for them to actually back it up with some videos and such, it seems like 95% of every comment I see is either a highly trained operator, manufacturer, or owns a company. It's funny I am only 16 and I see right through that bullshit.

[@geoff3319]

Now, get in that track loader and drive it right back down that hill !!!! PS The engine has oil baffles in it and can run like that all day long

[@jamesbradley1695]

Nice job and good video! It's lucky no one was in any hurry though. lol

[@matfenwick]

Not just experts on noisy yellow things - it seems like the world's entire knowledge (if not spelling ability) is concentrated in a select group of KZbin users. Whatever video you post up, there is always someone to helpfully point out how you are doing it wrong, and how there is a better way...

[@killingoldgrowthsince]

Because some of us have been running equipment for over forty years...

[@1899lpv]

At first I was wondering why it has those tracks until I saw that it is a loader, not a bulldozer.

[@henrykpawetadeusz4538]

Can the driver of a tracked vehicle operator get his vehicle / caper, bulldozer out of the mud, charger and other / if he has technical awareness, then you can manually extract the sunken machine yourself: -if you don't have a second machine to help, - and your machine's engine and drive system work efficiently, -You can attach such a device yourself - a wood log, chain or belt to both caterpillars, - so a blocked beam to drive the machine, - completely eliminates the possible slip of the drive in unstable ground, - dragging the beam under the machine, - enough to pull the machine out of the deep mud .. is the method of armored forces of the former Warsaw system ... instructional video: @KLJ0

[@tomebakke]

embarrassing to watch. if you dont get a machine out of a little hole like that with a digger, you should get a better teacher to learn you how to operate the machines.

[@killingoldgrowthsince]

And my guess is that you've never run equipment...

[@randyberetta6277]

WIDE tracks are much better in wet soil but man when you get them stuck stop trying to get out by yourself.!!! You will only make it worse.!!!

[@megaflunky]

They are standing in the worst possible spot if they break a cable, it would cut them in half. They have no feet down on the tow truck and it could slide off the hill trying to bull out the dozer. Looks as if safety was not even looked at. Many things done wrong..

[@Fuelman8003]

Where is the "DOZER" that's a loader.

[@tmpbigdog]

Hall Co. landfill The stankhole.

[@integr8er66]

I wonder if his engine had any oil pressure at all with those angles.

[@Agnemons]

With true bulldozers (not tracked loaders as in this case) you have to be nearly vertical before they lose oil pressure. There is probably some variance between manufacturer's but both Cat and Internatational's were capable of some extreme angles

[@SMikhaylov]

@glenlewis3348 Yeah, next time I need to get someone to help me with the vehicle i'm trained to operate i'm just going to ask the helpful denizens of youtube, who must all be highly qualified on how to make split second decisions for stopping a hundred thousand dollar vehicle from drowning.

[@samsnushall5572]

hell man unfortunatly with our line of buisness alot of operators are the most arrogant people you could meet and very opinionated. its just funny that they draw from past experiances of theres then look at a youtube video and think its the same when clearly you just can not know 90% of the variables involved. to all you boys out in youtube land gettin shit from keyboard operators, forget them bastards and keep the diesel burnin and the tracks turnin

[@1badassPowerstroke]

Hahah what a waste of money for the winches!! Seriously we own a excavation company, so I would have just pulled it with the excavator, we've lifted the entire loader with the excavators before, so it's not big deal.... Also why didnt you just push your self with the bucket?? That's what I've always done! And really that hill isn't that step!! That would be a cake walk to some of the places we log, just sayin... Nice machine though.

[@PATSICK]

It looks like county employees; apparently the excavator operator was just there to bill some time to somebody. When I first realized what the "plan" was; I was astonished and I had to watch the whole thing. I was taught that these equipments are called a "front loader" and an "excavator"; but there are probably other names in use. And yes, the track layer would be my first, )and only) choice to back out the front loader.

[@uticaplay]

First of all it wasn't a Bull Dozer! Cat Dozers are by number D3, D4, D6 ect with sometimes D4H for a example. This was a tracked loader that does not have grouser pads like a dozer but more of a crane type of grouser.

[@samsnushall5572]

lol true that brother any thing that moves can get stuck and the best operators are the ones who hav been stuk and learn from there mistakes and the ones who see others mistakes and learn not the ones who skyte theyve never been stuck lol

[@ROAMinstuie420]

it doesn't have "crane type grousers" if you read my post i explain what type of grousers it has. tracked cranes, for the most part, have smooth grousers. thats what i was disputing. and i've gotten a dozer stuck twice in 5 years.

[@Ghostrider2999]

I am not an expert, but I hated those loaders with the tracks, always made us use them on terrain that the tracks weren't meant for that they had on there. But good job, must have been a long slow one to get it out. Did it total the machine?

[@GearHead1625]

I'd just like to say, that is not a bulldozer (track-type tractor). That is called a tracked loader! I know because I work on that shit every day!

[@RockinUP844]

you guys really had no clue as to what you were doing did you ? thank God he watched over you and it all ended up well.

[@badboyhawk123162]

This is a disgrace to machine operators

[@killingoldgrowthsince]

Good thing you're not one.

[@FortWorthPro2010]

Hell when my father international dozer stuck in a hole logs and big farm tractor done the job. Not passing judgement but thats is a hell of a hill side tow rigs maybe been needed.

[@dirtking9329]

moving mud making trails is this not what you guys do for a living or whaaa

[@BrunoEmanuell]

guinchão loko hein,bem q eu queria dirigir um desses

[@BrunoEmanuell]

hehehe,se não sai por bem sai por mal hein,rsrs

[@shawnhammack8479]

Thats not a bulldozer. Its a crawler loader/track loader.

[@john6218att]

why not take it out from below where the excavator is ?

[@pythongunner]

And that's not even a big one like a 973

[@paulbrasier372]

That was the best recuse ever !!

[@itogermany]

Nice Video

[@jda1961]

machinery and idiots don't mix!

[@mattg2448]

That was an expensive recovery........

[@ibelieveyou2066]

No bulldozers here.

[@backspacecows01]

No Comment

[@1badassPowerstroke]

Haha what a wast

[@paksu6666]

sperin tast

[@TheAspietunes]

9:50 better hope that cable doesnt break

[@blackoxygen69]

that is a track loader not a bulldozer and the track-hoe couldnt pull it out cause of the angle and it is to small
