Yea - I buried my Cat 963 trackloader up over the top of the tracks!! You could step out of the door, right down to the ground. I was trying to pull out a buried Pettibone and ended up sinking in short order! Yea - it was my 2nd week at my new job!!! NOT good. But my foreman had told me it looks OK - "go ahead and track down there and pull that guy out" so at least it wasn't all my fault. It took about three hours to finally get my loader out. A 30 ton track-hoe tried to pull me out first but no dice, so he dug all around my loader while we were waiting for the D-8 to come down from up on the job site. When he hooked up, (he was a tad ticked off that he had to spend 10 min. tracking down to where I was stuck) he gave it hell and dragged me right out like my loader was a little play toy. So - yes I still work at the same job, and every now and then someone brings it up and the guys all have a good laugh!! I'm just glad I didn't get fired!!

I went out on the 4th with a friend. We were coming down a trail and got stuck. After an hour and a half of digging, jacking, rocking, cussing, and laughing (she thought it was hillarious) i finally got it out.... was i stuck?

It was on the 4th. So duringand after the fireworks, we made a little heat of our own.
