That is one tough ass chain! But it looks like I'm not alone in that thinking.

Ernie won the Bet ! ...he crossed the pond ...but he got stuck on the shore line ....poor Ernie

That's some good chain! It looked like lamp chain stretched between those 2 heavy machines! It must have been stronger than it looked as it did the job!

Track loaders are more of a regional thing now I think. In SE Wisconsin they’re sporadic, a company may have 1-2 but they’re more backup machines. Go down into Illinois and I mean just across the border and they’re everywhere. I really don’t care for them, a backhoe is faster and a wheeled loader is more versatile but I’ve seen a guy run a track loader and my argument of them being a thing of the past is heavily negated, damn that guy was good

Wow! Your Volvo is Huge! I never knew it was that big it’s a monster compared to that other one.

Chris prob made the Chain himself. That would explain a lot ! 👍👍

Haha I love the camera angle, it makes the loader look tiny, like a Tonka truck. Makes it easier to pull out of the mud that way right.

That Cat lader was deep stuck, but the Volvo excavator got it out nice Chris

I think that y’all do a better job of getting stuck than I used to do when I was farming

The tracks are smooth, no teeth , wore out

Everytime I see a video like this with a chain I'm like, couldn't throw a heavy blanket over the chain to keep people from dying?!

love your video's !!

Quick tip put the teeth of the excavator bucket in the ground and crowd out using the bucket as a anchor/leverage point. Works really well in slipper conditions.

Bravo to all concerned!!!!!

I once got a D9 stuck... fortunately back before youtube. Took a dragline to get it out. Or at least we used a dragline because it was there.

I was expecting that chain to let go anytime, taking out some glass or even worse. balls of titanium.

Old trick was to put chains onto track pads and secure to a tree and use tracks to pull yourself out . Hard to get a hook in between pads.

What better job than to play all day. awesome sauce

makes me wonder about creating some clamp on to the sides of the treads that could be installed fairly easily.. get a leaf spring manufacturer to create it out of spring steel so you have a few treads with big paddles to help get you out of Sticky situations like was shown in the video.

Hi, Folks. Armchair commentator strikes again. Track loader do NOT normally have tall grousers like a dozer as that would chew up the ground too much with all the constant sharp turning while loading trucks. Instead, they normally have two or sometimes three much shorter grousers per track plate as per this video of a NEW machine. kzread.info/dash/bejne/X3eqxY-soqzHeZM.html Just my 0.02.

Hi, @@jlbush8249 . I'm not going to try to read his mind and guess what his point might have been. I was simply stating that most track loaders do not have taller grousers like a dozer, which is literally what his comment referred to. You can sometimes see dozer style grousers on a track loader in the timber industry or some other specialty application but not in normal track loader usage. IF I had HAD to take that machine anywhere near that situation, I would have gone in face first 'cos that would have kept the engine uphill which would have improved traction and I could have used the bucket to help get myself out if needed. It is amazing just what those Cat hydrostatic track loaders can get themselves out of if the engine is facing towards firm ground. BUTTTT, I would have needed a REALLY GOOD reason to go anywhere near it. Also, and to put not too fine a point on it, it would not be anyone's 'smartest ever decision' to take ANY machine into that mess Just my 0.02. You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

definitely can't cross there lol

Get that out with explosives. No seriously, you put a stick under it and when it goes off full forward travel. It breaks the suction and a little "lift" and in that moment you can move. Years ago a old cat skinner showed me that dammed if it didn't work. 5min safety fuse it's a long wait tho. Good times.....same tool you use to get a bent axle moving out of one takes all the windows out of the shop. Good times.... Welcome to the west coast of BC

Could've used that old dresser

Well....fast forward to 2021; it's better than having one *sitting there on fire.*

Haha now that bad boy was stuck

Nice recovery

Grade 10 chain, it brakes at 80 ton, when looped.

that's right good chain but Wtf was he thinkin

My grandma had necklaces thicker than that chain but apparently it was strong enough.

I wonder if there are unditching attachments that would be useful in situations like this. Like the logs used to unstick tanks by lashing them to the tracks?

@rickdees251

3 жыл бұрын

That log idea would work if the can be attached or two or three wide enough eye beams brought to the site when needed . Possibly a way to attach that chain or cables to a few trees and one or both of the tracks. My motto is "There is always a way". Evident in and proven by the Pyramids existing! The trick is finding the easiest solution that works and believing in the motto even when your at a loss at the moment. Don't give up thinking because your stumped.

Was the guy at the end, making hand signals the one that got stuck? He had that look in his eye. Chris is doing okay these days I reckon. Just unstuck a excavator few weeks back.

Are there any cleats on that loader? Not much in the way of gripping power.

Are there tracks you can switch to with deeper teeth so you aren't just sliding around in the mud?

Al S we often switch pads here in Ireland. We just change the whole chain for a different set of chains. Wet bog land winter would put 3 or 4ft pads on and for summer normal work we have 28 or 30 inch pads as standards.

Looks like a good grade 70 chain, can't believe you didn't know how to hook it, pulling down on the machine only puts weight on the front of the tracks and makes it spin worse.
