I should have taken pictures of the mess I had here in Bama a few weeks back, but I was too embarrassed. Triple axle dump-truck got stuck up to his axles delivering a load of dirt and got my JD stuck trying to get to him (forgot I had turned off 4WD). Took a backhoe about an hour to get the both of us out. Backhoe was impressive, lifted the back end of that truck up with his hoe and drove him out of that mess. Had to move my building site after that fiasco. After $5K more worth of dirt, gravel, dozer, and track hoe work I should start the building after Memorial Day. Expensive lesson on site preparation and gave me a lot more respect for the road building crews too.
