Re: We want pictures!-Bobcat+loader Stuck
gordon,
Would that be John Deere 644 loader,and if so its rare to see one painted green not unless its military in this area.
I hope the next picture not a Cat D8 stuck. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

Looks like "just a little wet spot". Talk about being buried./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Ya gotta watch out for those ground seeps. What was the story behind that?

Re: We want pictures!-Bobcat+loader Stuck
The operator ran out to an island to check on what timber was there. He was riding around in the heat goofing off more like it. But instead of going back the way he came out he ran through where grass was sticking up through the ice. You boys from up north know to stay away from ice if there is grass coming up through it. It's unsafe at best.
He left the machine there and called on the phone to the head of the crew and told them where the machine was stuck. The next day when everyone went out to get it unstuck he didn't even show up.
They first tried to hood the other skidder to that one, not enough horsepower to pull it out. Ended up getting a D8 from the next town over. Drilled holes in the ice with an ice auger. Then used chainsaws to cut inbetween the holes. Even giving it a bed of ice to ride on on the way out the D8 still had troubles pulling it out but it got it.
No major damage done to the machine. But they did go and visit Captian Nemo after they got it out!!!!

Re: We want pictures!-Bobcat+loader Stuck
I'm kinda surprise they waited until the skidder was out before paying that guy a visit.
I wonder if his pay check was a little short that week. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
Oh us boy up north still get into trouble like that now and than. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

Re: We want pictures!-Bobcat+loader Stuck
I don't have pics but looks a little like my John Deere last week. We have had so much snow here I've been piling it in the ditches along the road to move it out of the way. Well where our driveway is there's about a 4 foot graded slope from the road. I was booming along pushing snow and all the sudden the left side gave way and the tractor tipped over sideways into where I was pushing the snow. All that snow stopped it from rolling but it was sure stuck and buried!!!! To make matters worse I was already late for the office and had to leave it there for the day. Sure heard it from the local farmers that night when I got home!! They thought that was pretty funny. I was going to pull it out myself but as soon as I got home that night there were two of them there to rib me about it and help pull it out. Oh well at least I didn't have to pull it out myself.
