Digger Stuck on Bournemouth Beach

[@DonaldFraser-c9v]

Great little video of what was a major rescue mission against time and tide.

[@McCluckles38]

Excellent video! I've seen it reposted on Instagram a couple of times sadly

[@AgnieszkaMichalczewska-c3b]

Excellent video! Great filming and editing skills and good choice of music too - well done 👏

Next episode: recovering 3 diggers stuck in the sand...

Mogło by być ciekawie 😊

[@kilomike3523]

Never ending story😆

[@CaptainChuckles]

Excellent video but would have been nice to have a brief overview on why it was there and how it stuck

[@aidenscofield9428]

I'd guess they were doing some kind of re shaping of the beach and the tide came in just a guess

[@graememckay9972]

They were showing Diesel Dave and Heavy D how to do heavy plant recovery properly.

[@adi4x4]

The groynes are being replaced, the digger tipped into a hole and got stuck

[@CaptainChuckles]

@@adi4x4 That makes sense, thanks much appreciated.

[@ianross9099]

Digger sounds like my kids watching mighty machines. Lmao I bet all 3 of my kids could call it by it's name!

Nice Video

[@MKS_Media]

Thanks

[@snapon666]

needs a voice over in an Attenborough voice describing how the other dinosaurs gather to save the life of one of their kind stuck in the tar pit

[@JosephRawsthorne31]

That looks like it will be an expensive repair bill.

[@neilrafferty2097]

Tracks too narrow?

[@sheepdogman1]

Theres a digger going cheap. One careful owner never raced or rallied

[@harryxhumphrey]

Looked after, had an easy life, only ever loaded trucks at the yard. Reason for selling so cheap - surplus to requirements

[@JohnnyMotel99]

that looked an expensive rescue

[@adamhorton1601]

Watching this in silence is like watching a good Samaritan video of hunters pulling a stuck moose from a bog. Kinda heartfelt and uplifting.

[@redeyedmongoose2963]

So why were they digging up the beach anyway?

[@AgnieszkaMichalczewska-c3b]

General beach tidy up before spring season

[@JK-wn3cc]

That required a lot more effort and resources than i thought it would. The strange bit for me though is that at no point did it right (wright?) itself,.even at the end.

[@richardlangmead]

Such a good video!

[@misterj1968]

It's not a what you call a digger it's proper name in most modern construction circles is a tracked Excavator for as long as I can remember........

[@ReefOoze]

also known as a digger

[@sharkeyist]

Its a digger here 🇬🇧, deal with it.

[@Dan23_7]

@@sharkeyistGrowing up I just knew them as a Hymac and the other type was a JCB 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@sharkeyist]

@@Dan23_7 and a drott loading a thames trader too i reckon😎

[@tightbhole420]

​@@sharkeyist you sure its not a wobbly-arm doodly bob?

[@seanmichaelo9777]

Jheez some monies worth of plant there! ………..Back story ?

[@marcobrian1619]

This is a huge problem with plant nowadays...... All the crap that's on the engines to "so call be green".... When it does go wrong the main agent's can't get it to it now....coz there sorting other stuff out. The local plant fitter can't do much coz he can't talk to the bloody computer that's shit the machine down....... It's all bollacks now.

[@sharkeyist]

Looks like the cause to me too, it was easier to recover too, pull a lever and the oil would move to let it slew where it needed to be, hold the tracking levers and the tracks would kinda roll,

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

Not so much a rescue than a recovery ! The excavator is already a dead loss.

[@ianmarshall170]

Poor plant working in sea water turning into RUST!!!

[@PrangGella]

Thats why they use rentals

[@ianmarshall170]

@@PrangGella still a shame!!!😳

[@sharkeyist]

@@ianmarshall170got any better ideas?

[@DarthScorpion]

it will be fine. Its salt water: Natures healing balm

[@spacecat7247]

Always nice to have those kinds of resources.

All those flashing lights makes you crazy. Safety first the wrong way.
