Years ago I was out cruising on a hot summer day. My dog was getting hot and I knew that I had to do something about it, when we came across a square hole in the ground just about the size of an excavator. Although it was a mix of water and peat moss she got in and started swimming around, which cooled her off nicely. I later was talking to somebody about it and he said they were delimbing trees on the woods (excavator based limber) when it dropped out of sight. At one point only the boom was showing. He said the insurance company wanted it out so badly that they were bringing the guys meals so that they wouldn't leave until it was on dry ground.

They got the bucket out of the mud. Not sure how long it took. Wife left property early afternoon yesterday and they were still fighting. She went out this morning to do more wood and it was sitting on the powerlines 2 track.

Reminds me of the lost TD24 retrieval story;

My father-in-law showed me where a Sherman tank had driven off the road during the battle of the Bulge, not knowing that both sides of the road were bogs, and sank in seconds. Seventy years later it was still a rectangular hole.

All the best,

Peter

I've watched that video several times. The first time I was amazed that it actually rolled after they removed the final drives.
In another video they showed it running.
