You need a compact telehandler to pull the excavator out when it gets stuck!

If you manage to get an excavator stuck there wasn’t any hope of putting a piece of equipment there. An excavator has the key advantage of being able to work without moving so it doesn’t make as bad of a mud hole to start with, it has good flotation on the tracks and it can self recover when it does get sunk. I drove this one out. I didn’t get it stuck to start with either.

I know this for sure 4570 . . . BUT one of those would be really nice to add to one's arsenal . . .

You can get anything stuck... here's a video of an excavator digging out an excavator.

I didn't mention that the V417 compact telehandler will lift over 6,000 pounds and the front axle doesn't pivot so it is more stable than a tractor.
