All that experience getting other folks out has its rewards. Nice job rescuing yourself!

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

Come on, you didn't stuck, it was just a little dozer's rest for a while. Problem solved.

[@bobjoncas2814]

...gotta be careful playing in the mud...lol...good one, keep safe..

[@sr20ser.]

As a former boss told me: "If it is still not moving after 15 seconds, get your ass off the gas and radio for a pull." Granted, it was a D10 he was complaining about...

[@colinwallace5286]

My dad told me that if it was slowing down and not powering out, best to lift the equipment and get out of there. If it stops going forward, just get a pull before you make a mess. It worked well for the most part. Quite often running a breaking disc, I’d pull the pin and crank the tractor off to the side out of the hole, then tug the disc out with a big chain. If you bury the biggest set of wheels, it only gets worse from there.

[@fredygump5578]

Good advice! Even with a truck, you can tell pretty much right away if aren't gonna make it out. But plenty of guys think 10 min of spinning tires and throwing mud everywhere is eventually gonna get them out.

[@tedc7714]

@@colinwallace5286 Amen. if you bury the biggest set of wheels.

[@Mtlmshr]

“STUCK” is NOT in Chris’s vocabulary! After watching him get that one excavator out that was buried to the cab that he rescued there is nothing he can’t get out!

My D3 LGP had triangular shaped pads which gave more traction.

[@frontagulus]

Pretty rookie stuck though that one. Not hard to get out when you have a 20 something ton digger right there : )

[@bobbrinkerhoff3592]

It's pretty bad when you need to put a lift kit under the dozer to keep from getting high centered.

It’s been wet for sure! Love the videos Chris! We have a lot on common when it comes to operating skills. I own a small grading business and do a lot of the same jobs y’all do. Good, honest living and would not change it for nothing. Keep up the videos my friend, we all enjoy them

[@davidmorse8432]

Sure would be nice to have a winch on that dozer. Mine has got me out of some bog holes many a time. Plus, they are so useful for other things as well.

[@Mtlmshr]

Haha! I was thinking the same thing but the Chris first starts to “Row” the Dozer out and then uses the Excavator as a pivot point to push on, evidently his experience and knowledge makes him think completely different from us “normal” folk!

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Wowza. All I can say, Chris, is I am in awe of your talents, skills, and abilities. I was amused at the beginning using the Skid Steer to get John's truck unstuck but you working alone to get yourself extricated: that was fabulous. You are the best, by far sir. Thanks for sharing this. It was fun to watch (I imagine not fun to have it happen - I've been stuck before).

[@SuperRede4u]

@Chris Boy when you had the 250 bucket up against the blade of the Komatsu it really made me appreciate how big a machine the 250 really is. It kinda made the Komatsu look like a Tonka toy. As usual you made light work of getting it unstuck and carrying on the job.

[@patrickcolahan7499]

I once berried my 4 Wheel Drive 1962 Scout so deep on a logging road in the mountains that I couldn't even open the doors. In the PNW, on the coast, back in the 70's we got close to 100 inches of rain a year. The ground never really dried out, only got a crust on it. Hit that spot at about 20 mph, broke through the crust and sunk, never stopped so fast in my life. Took a D4 to get it out. You just never know with mud. Sorry for the trip down memory lane, but watching you fighting that stuck dozer brought back that memory. Good memories though. Thanks for sharing.

[@rabidbigdog]

Is it because the baby-dozer 'bottoms out' on the under-tray rather than lacking 'grip'?

[@mudman7618]

Forgive the ignorance, I'm not in the business. Why is it, sometimes on building a road you use the skid steer, other times a dozer to push gravel, and rarely a grader? As long as the road is, I would've thought you'd use a grader? Can you maybe do a video explaining why and when or what you use each piece of equipment for and why? For example, I've known guys that dig basements with a mini dozer, and skid steer as opposed to an excavator, grading a long road with say a dozer or skid steer as opposed to using a grader.... Help us desk jockies understand a little more of your world, and perhaps how to get into your world operating equipment. Thanks, enjoy the videos.

[@sandy1653]

The grader is for cutting and finishing in, not really for spreading and grading bulk materials. Also depends on who's job it is. The grader belongs to his uncle if I remember right, and I don't know that he's mentioned what kind of arrangement they have for equipment sharing. If they even have one.

[@dansbrown1313]

@@sandy1653 I haven't seen John using any of Chris Guins equipment or vice versa. I'd guess Betty wouldn't have had the same issue going through there. I was wondering why they didn't place a 24 in. x 20 ft. Corrugated HDPE Culvert Pipe in there even if temporarily because they are going to have to at some point anyway?

[@fragglepoop7185]

Skid steer way faster than a dozer , dozer heavier and can push more weight . Grader for finishing , a grader would just get stuck trying to spread as the blade is in the middle not at the front 🤷‍♀️

[@snowblowerman5115]

Grader can only be used for one job as a skid steer or dozer can be used for many. Doesn't make sense to haul a grader out to finish grade a road you'd haft to spread with a dozer or skid steer anyway

[@jdsparky288]

Betty is much heavier and narrow tracked. Not a good combination in that soft ground

My father was in the Operating Engineers Union for over 50 years. He always said that a dozer without a winch is scrap iron. That was a deep hole. It might need a culvert. It might be a good place to build a pond.

I already know that the couch operator comments are streaming in. And yet they would be extremely lucky to have you to come unstick them. It happens. It's just you're wise enough to know when to accept that you're stuck and still put it on video. Hopefully someone else learns from this and some are smart enough to know that this isn't that difficult of a situation to find one's self in. I of course am beyond very impressed. And any wise ass "genius" operators out there should take a very humble lesson from the master. Obviously 😂are stupid people who think that they know better. I'd just be stuck. CHRIS!!
