SOTY entry!!!
A couple of days ago my dad managed to get our bulldozer stuck in the bottom of a tail water pond that's "dry" at the moment. He was trying to push some saplings out but ended up bogging it down in the muck. The mud is horrid stuff. Reeks like sewage and the more you dig in it or mess around with it the wetter and more slimy it gets!
Anyways, here's some pics:
First stuck...
After first afternoon of trying to get it out.
15' long bridgeplanks and two railroad ties under each side.
Other side.

Addtl pics.
How we finally managed to get it out.
Look at all that gunky mud!
The hole. Doesn't look like much because as we pulled it out the blade smoothed it out some.

I guess we could always just borrow my uncle's 8630, or my Grandpa's Big Bud 525, but then you'd probably suggest we hit it with the Big Bud!

KO, that looks very similar to a stuck i did about 12 years ago. i was checking to see how deep the muck was in a swampy area off the N.J. turnpike with a 225 cat, and broke through the grass root mat on top of the 12 ft of muck.
it took 6 pumps,4 dozers, and 2 more excavators 3 days to get it out. then it took 2 weeks of cleaning to get all the silt out of all the various systems.

you would have thunk that the fellow in the excavator could have reached forward with the scoop and puled himself out, but i guess he was in too deep.
that JD is purdy though!

A stuck Big Bud would no tbe fun to get unstuck, them suckers are heavy sob's. lol funny thing about a neighbor JD (exact same JD as above, dozer blad and all), got stuck in the bottom of a hill, it took two versatile 875's (each have been juiced up to 370hp)which one of them is about the same size as that JD, to pul it out, took quite a few passes with the cultivator to smooth out the holes that the 3 times we had to try to get that tractor out.
