Thinking back to your lowboy crawl a couple vlogs back as I'm binge watching your recoveries got me to thinking about some videos a couple years back of MASSIVE equipment transports where every individual trailer had electric independent steering (& drive)... I wonder how much faster and safer you could get staged if you incorporated low-speed steering on your lowboys to turn the rear of them into sharp turns way faster... I've watched some of your fabrication videos & I'm positive your shop could do the mods & safety speed restrictions completely in-house. Just my penny's worth of possibilities...

I'm a former Navy Sailor that went to Nam on an "Oiler" (USS Mispillion AO105) and witnessed (or I should say, saw the aftermath) of an emergency breakaway while refueling an aircraft carrier. The cables we used were heavier than yours and when they snapped... Gawd, it was pretty crazy the damage done to the steel super structure of our ship from the whipping cable. Stand clear folks... we heard the horror stories from the crew who'ed been onboard for years and I won't repeat that here, but one can only imagine the destructive power of a snapped cable.

I'm very late to the show. Sorry about this late, late comment. I have spent, maybe 20 hours behind the controls of an excavator. I have watched, with awe, professionals grab 55 gallon drums filled with broken up concrete, turn them over, shake out the concrete, and put the drum in the recycle bin while I was the supervisor on a demolition project. I'm impressed that they got that machine stuck so well. Most operators can get those unstuck pretty easy (at least to the view of an amature). Edit: that is one big mud hole! No wonder it was stuck!

I guess the issue was the 450, I've never seen an excavator not been able to lift the tracks up by pushing the arm down, that machine was low on power it seems, all they needed to do was to lift both tracks on one side and put mats underneath, then swing to the other side and lift the tracks and push backwards at the same time

The only machine I ever had to dig out that was mired in like that was an old Loraine drag shovel in a sand pit that hadn't been active in 4-5 years, so several years of wet seasons unmoved sitting on a sand bed, it had sank completely up to the cabin, To be fair, we were a little less kind with our choice of tools pulling it out. Dozers and skidders chained up together make for one hell of a pull. Still was a lot of digging, and work to get it out. The downside, the engine was not in serviceable condition so we pulled it out as complete dead weight

I spotted something I have pretty big respect for, I mean of course I respect the entire hustle and getting people out of these situations and recovering their equipment and vehicles but one small detail I noticed Sparks do was around 15:00 when the other guy was like “let’s get that hook off” and he approached the bucket of sparks excavator, Sparks took his hands completely off the controls so that the machine is completely dead stopped which is a huge and good habit to be in, seen too many people get smacked because someone went to get something out of a bucket and the operator didn’t stop in his tracks and let go of the controls. Awesome job paying as close attention as possible and making sure no one gets hurt in these recoveries man. I’m in the landscaping industry and for those in that industry, in the construction industry, whatever industry you’re in with heavy equipment, always a good habit to have when you have hands on the ground helping you with things so you don’t have to get out of the machine a million times. I love these recovery videos and have been bingeing them since I found your channel, such a cool vibe and I don’t even watch tv anymore cause of this channel and channels like this over the past year that compose their videos to come out like a tv show but better, less commercials, more personal, better content.

I love your guys work and you are good at it. Something that will make things a little easier and less risky: Next time try hitting Dozer first, clean up around the site and get the working ground lower. Then Assume the direction in which the water is coming from, dig a deep trech about 4-5 ft deeper than how deep the tractor is sinking. This breaks the hydraulic bond of the water underground, reduces the movement from pumping more water into the wreck. This jist makes it easier to work and reduces the headache of getting in and out to the wreck.

I'm thinking this one might take a couple of days! Teamwork makes the dream work!

Its the suction of the mud that prevents lifting vehicle out of it. Like stepping in gooey mud and your shoe gets sucked off your foot. I learned a trick from a crusty old maintenance Master Sergeant when I was stationed in Germany. He had fabricated these long pipe sections that he could connect to an industrial air compressor. Drive the pipes under the stuck vehicle then blast air through them. The compressed air breaks the suction. We had an M113 that was stuck bigger that Stuttgart. Even tried an AVLS (M60 tank chassis based bridge launcher) to no avail. So this MSG pulls up, rigs up his pipes, blasts air under the M113, and we pull (winch) it out with a 5-ton wheeled wrecker. I don't know why I've never seen this technique used on any of these recovery videos, but hope this gives someone else an idea. But if someone patents it, I want royalties.

Good point. When the English fought the French at Agincourt in 1415, the mud suction gave the English the victory. The English wore cloth, the French plate armor. If a French knight fell down in the muck, he could never get up as he was suctioned down into the mud. So an Englishman could just come over and stab the Frenchman through an appropriate hole. If a Frenchman fell face first, he would drown in his own armor. Mud can be nasty stuff.

That soup creates a heck of a suction to hold that puppy in place. Did you think about building a coffer dam around to reduce water intrusion to dig it out?

Great recovery, it's knowing the ability of what your equipment is able to preform .

I'm sitting here going come on, come on. Turn that turret on the 450 around, the counter weight is dragging and use that bucket to push. Soon as I thought that, he did it YEAH

Ya'll must have the best karma in the world doing a recovery like that and helping out the cera gordo dude out just out of kindness. Many blessings , SMR

hell of a job, might want to look intoa couple m88s lol

Take the dozer, lift the front end with the blade and go forward to get the tracks spinning and let it dig a hole, then hook the winch to the stuck equipment. Its what we used to do when moving rail cars that derailed. It gives the dozer a back stop or a chock to brace against to keep the winch from pulling it backward.

This was great. It was neat to see that guys family out there digging with everyone. They were grateful for the answered call of help

I love watching you guys do recovery I find it really fascinating and I got excited when you finally get the whatever stuck unstuck that is like the coolest feeling ever but I can imagine what you guys feel when you finally get it unstuck yourselves

Amazing rescue...but the amount of people still near the cables under full pull is crazy...they'll rip you to pieces faster than a blink... either use weighted bags on them or double the distance on the people ❤❤❤

most overlooked aspect of this video was that amazing family!

The algorithm really thinks ill watch just about anything… its not wrong Edit: this was a lot more interesting than i thought, thanks algorithm :)

8:30 can't believe you guys got it out so quick.

This was superb viewing, informative too as we got a glimpse into the real world of heavy equipment recovery from challenging terrain. It was hugely enjoying seeing those tracks clear and to see movement, nice too was seeing the lovely family whose investment was finally coming home. Great video, excellent narration and editing, subscribed.

I was wondering how long it would take for them to finally turn around and try to push them selves

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Dude knows music.

As a safety guy who has investigated too many trench collapses, these conditions really make me nervous with the combination of unconsolidated ground and water plus a lot of vibration from heavy equipment. As the video showed, those sides were very unstable and prone to sloughing. I was happy to see one side of the hole looked to be sloped back pretty well, the other side was a bit too vertical for my liking. It might be worth installing some shoring for projects like this in the future, but It seemed like everyone was aware of the hazards for the most part. You guys did good work and showed excellent communication. It's always a pleasure to see a group of professionals at work.

Love your videos watch them all the time .

21 hours just under a day but I've never seen anything like this ever

This looks like a very rewarding career. If I was 30 years yunger I would have been looking you up.

I loved that part. I had NO idea that the came from the factory that way. Sure saves the end user from having to put all those dents in there by himself. Such forward thinking!

That deete operator did very well

Excellent recovery, good attitude by everyone - for me, few heart pounding moments - people a bit close to some of the cables when rigged, I have seen 12,000Ib pull cable snap recovering a stuck Land Rorver, took out 2ft thick tree - have also witnessed the after effects of a cable snap and what it does to a human body - not pleasant. The fella in the redt shirt kept running under the main boom when operating - madness. However, really good job, everyone safe, mission accomplished and a great video. Maybe you should look at buying a M88A2 Hercules...pulling machine on steroids.

Great stuff guys. Really enjoy watching your team work through unique situations.

I work on excavators at a dealer. That machine needs a pump/ work group adjustment. Not enough pressure going to the travel motors or work group. A simple turn of a couple reliefs would have made that recovery much easier.
