I had noticed that too. The other piece of equipment musta not been big enough.

Hopefully they got that D11 out before it froze up too hard!!

If they don't dig it out, they would never pull it out...trust me. We needed a 375 hoe, D375 dozer, a D7R and two 589 sidebooms to get a D7R out once. They don't just pop out of this goop.

Hopefully they got that D11 out before it froze up too hard!!

Actually, it's a whole lot easier to get them out once they're frozen. No more suction to deal with.

Why all the fans on top? Does the goo left over from the oil recovery smell that bad, or are they heaters for those cold northern nights?

Hey Brian - when the ground freezes around the machine how careful do you have to be when you "unstuck it" - not break any of the components? Just curious.

The fans are part of the cooling system. They move the radiators and coolers to the roof to keep them out of the mud and sludge. A normally placed radiator plugs up solid in about one hour or less.

We just dig, I guess you wouldn't want to hit the machine too hard, but there isn't any extra concern put into it. If it's going to break, it's going to break. Odds are after that it's going to spend time in the shop anyhow, there is already a bunch of broken stuff if it got dumped that bad. Don't get me wrong, we don't try to cause damage to get them out. But we don't put extra care into the recovery because it's frozen than we would if it was warm out. For what we doing, they are pretty robust and resist damage fairly well.

Well haven't done this in a long while but on Thursday, of course just had to take one more load of sand, and got stuck crossing a flooded part of the sand pit.

Cool pics. The feeling when your helplessly stuck is not a good one. Off topic but why do they use the JD machines with pull pans instead of the the regular scrapers?

Its cheaper on short hauls.

gettin those cat compact track loaders stuck is an easy thing to do...

 

[Loaderman380]

Here are a couple of pics. from the site I'm working on. This was just plain old operator error.

 

[Loaderman380]

Here are a couple more, same machine a few days later. Machine is a Komatsu PC-400. The operator was working on the begining of a large retention pond when the rim ditch gave way. He decided to walk down to the bottom of the pond to fix the rim ditch because he could not reach it from the top.

does he still work there?
