This machine was somewhat bogged down in the pond !! Was trying to clear the area and failed. The driver was not a happy bunny!!-from memory told me where to put the camera!!

Shouldn't have been a problem getting that out of there under it's own steam, just lower the blade in to the mud. lift up the machine then in to reverse and out she comes. Seen it done many times.

Behave yourself Garry, there's no way that thing's getting out of there unassisted, blade up or blade down, there's just no purchase on slutch.

Gary has a point, but the real reason for getting bogged down in the first place is stopping, always keep moving the tracks will do the rest.

this d8 22a direct drive has been converted from a rope operated blade to hyd blade, and a 3 tine ripper fitted,there is no way this machine will come out with out help,due to the weight of the ripper.
