Back out and curl the bucket all the way forward, get the cutting edge in the ground and roll the bucket back while reversing out and use the curl power to push you out.
probably get some different tires as well, but its nice to see old equipment still running especially some of the old quarry equipment, alot of times it sits where they leave it or in salt mines they leave down below to rot in the caverns in some of them
@danthev8man People just don't understand that the bucket can't curl flush with the ground. The limited curling motion only allows the bucket to "tip toe" or hinge from that spot on the bucket tip.
Back out and use your bucket to push your self by rolling it all they forward dig in then roll it all the back then repeat as needed. Question what were you doing out there in the first place?
that works with skid steers and almost everything every time! exept when you are someone like me and manages to somehow get a 2wd john deere 301A sunk in a dry maneuer pile! had to get the john deere 450C (bull dozer) to pull myself out!
@odmcarp The operator put forth more effort where he killed the machine at the end. I the camera man was told to get a backhoe to help pull it out , but he managed to get traction off camera.
1 month and 1 hour and 43 minutes ago i subscribed because my dad watched "Autocar starting and removing the trailer" and I said hey the guy has some neat stuff. Now that same vid is in the options over there >.
This reminds me of a mahut (elephant trainer/caretacker) giving his elephant a bath on a hot day. Maybe a bit of a stretch, but to me it seems clear. Bet the fish and frogs loved that! Ha.
Lose the water in the bucket and come out at an angle. Head on without speed is the faulty way out. As long as the tires don't spin and collect the mud....
how about turning around and trying it in reverse using the bucket to push up the bank backwards, ive done that in a komatsu wa600 dozens of times playing in muskeg, mud and snow lol or was he just trying to do it fowards to see if he could
Old loader with bald assed tires, operated by a complete amateur, in an environment of water, mud, wet long grass, spells tragic comedy. Then stalls it out!
First of these guys have more knowledge of heavy equipment in a left nut than you have in your entire body. If they wanted the loader out they would've backed it out and pushed it out with the bucket. Second,it didn't "stall out" he shut it down.
@dimitrigregorieff Im still trying to figure out why someone would do somethin so stupid. thats like destroying the land and i cant even imagine how many critters along the bottom of the water.
No it’s not, they’ll sink right out from under you while you’re driving on what you think is a good road. I’ve had it happen more than once in about the same loader, 1976 87A
I love your videos ! If I could spend an entire day just driving those beauties I would be happy for a long time !

I had a 988 as my jungle gym growing up. Thanks grandpa for being such a badass.
THe old tractor brings back a lot of memories, old sluggish , slow revving things. I was building an HEB in San ANtonio, Texas
Not great traction by the looks of this, I would have expected a wheel loader to walk out of there.
That is an old machine... with the exhaust leak fixed it would actually sound pretty good... we run a lot of old iron and don't regret it
I love the old 988's , fixed a lot of them. Tilt levers and dog bones.
lol, we use to do this with our old Franklin skidder, but the skidder always got out! gotta love em big knobby ass skidder tires!
This gives stupid a whole new meaning!!!!!
It's a big machine. It is efficient. Thank you from Japan.
@kennethrobinson123 How many times you have lifted old Caterpillar with own bucket? Lift and knick little too much and you have broken tilt cylinders.
probably get some different tires as well, but its nice to see old equipment still running especially some of the old quarry equipment, alot of times it sits where they leave it or in salt mines they leave down below to rot in the caverns in some of them
I think this is one of the most beautyful wheelloaders, I've ever seen!
Rear end out first, use the front bucket to shove and work his way out in reverse.
Today's lesson, friends. A loader on yard tires with minimal bucket curl doesn't go well with soft mud . . .
The best thing about the video is the great engine noise!
It's a pity about the pond life being ruined, though.
Turn around ,use your bucket to push,not pull !!!damn
@danthev8man People just don't understand that the bucket can't curl flush with the ground. The limited curling motion only allows the bucket to "tip toe" or hinge from that spot on the bucket tip.
please enlighten us on your vast experience and knowledge of front end loader operation
great piece of machinery super!!!
I was watching suzuki van van :p and end up here, you tube knows what's best for me :)
i love those old cat loaders
If it were stuck it would still be there.
That is detained.
Lmao....most of the time they get stuck in the water...how ironic. Good video!
perfect bass fishing platform
Some friend you are. Put the camera down and push!
good video boss. fun stuff..
Every time he drives back into the water, he makes the way to get out wet and more slippery
That thing is badass!
Back out and use your bucket to push your self by rolling it all they forward dig in then roll it all the back then repeat as needed. Question what were you doing out there in the first place?
gotta love them old 988s
This is one good, fast way to clear pond weed!
@jeremylee99100 how did u get it out im just wondering how you got her out
omg and the sound is... godlike!
O.K. O.K. how did you get the 988 out of there ? Did you reverse out and use the bucket to push the load out , using roll out roll in ?
Now THAT is four wheeling!
@dimitrigregorieff This was made for entertainment.
That's one good way to wash the underside of your loader!
@DieselPowerTV How much does this thing cost?
that works with skid steers and almost everything every time! exept when you are someone like me and manages to somehow get a 2wd john deere 301A sunk in a dry maneuer pile! had to get the john deere 450C (bull dozer) to pull myself out!
I'd love to see a CAT 994F or LeTourneau L2350 driven in that pond!
pond clean - like a boss
Yes the 988 was on land but it couldn't get enough traction to get out because the tires were slick. The only way to go was backwards.
Did you have to get the D9 and a big long chain?
@odmcarp The operator put forth more effort where he killed the machine at the end. I the camera man was told to get a backhoe to help pull it out , but he managed to get traction off camera.
It's still there... nearly 3 years later. Reminds me of the Titanic - LOL!
1 month and 1 hour and 43 minutes ago i subscribed because my dad watched "Autocar starting and removing the trailer" and I said hey the guy has some neat stuff. Now that same vid is in the options over there >.
Omg,,,,,it needs a museum.
u were fishing with this WOW :D
You know them snapping turtles are like "HOLLEY SHIT"
@kennethrobinson123 Where would he get traction from going forward?
Great way to clean the algae from your lake!
Captain, we need more POWER.
Damn, she sounds good!
If he was smart he would use the bucket as an advantage
piece of art
if she can spin tires that big then she has plenty of power. and for being 50 years old thats not too shabby. lol
Smokin the tires! Wait a second...
This reminds me of a mahut (elephant trainer/caretacker) giving his elephant a bath on a hot day. Maybe a bit of a stretch, but to me it seems clear.
Bet the fish and frogs loved that! Ha.
LOL! so funny he cant get out. lol, cat going for a swim! :)
Lose the water in the bucket and come out at an angle. Head on without speed is the faulty way out. As long as the tires don't spin and collect the mud....
That is what you get for trying to steal the mud from the swamp. Yeppers the swamp won't let you leave with it's mudd. LOL ;-D
Cool vid.
D E M official's would be having a fit watching this
what year is this???? it looks very much like the one we have at our quarry, ours is a 1972
new way of fishing
how about turning around and trying it in reverse using the bucket to push up the bank backwards, ive done that in a komatsu wa600 dozens of times playing in muskeg, mud and snow lol or was he just trying to do it fowards to see if he could
"Hey Doug start the D9, the 988 is stuck by the pond"
These are a real chugging, sluggish beastie. You guys are really rough bladers, I'll tell ya'. Muck the pond alright.
It was just for fun.

They did if for fun
'PRICELESS STUPIDITY!!'
That poor old machine can tell your not gonna have it much longer
This is how REAL MEN catch yabbies
ima puerto rican from long island ny and i approve of this video :D
The D9G will have that shovel out in no time
That thing is massive.
dope!
maybe bud bogging wasnt a good idea
Man you have so many heavy equipment videos on here. What kind of work does the ranch owner do?
@dimitrigregorieff Im still trying to figure out why someone would do somethin so stupid. thats like destroying the land and i cant even imagine how many critters along the bottom of the water.
"Man this operator is dumb", would be an understatement!
shoulda got a short start then thrown her in high gear, use the momentum to carry him up to solid ground
The all new way of fishing. KICK ASS I WANT ONE.
that's good for fishing! =D
they'll find his sketoton sitting in the cab in about a year
backing out would have helped
@dimitrigregorieff they were probbly moveing sediment to drain out the water...
Is that piston slap i hear????
Skill baby
Hes ruening the eco life!!! Lol
The goo is always on the banks ?
This is one of those machines that you have to really TRY to get stuck.
No it’s not, they’ll sink right out from under you while you’re driving on what you think is a good road. I’ve had it happen more than once in about the same loader, 1976 87A
I guess nobody can think of going in reverse and using the bucket down to push.
looks like an old Holloway pit and machine.
Modern loaders have limited slip differentials, or computerised on the go lockers... with those, the cat would climb out of the water quickly...
YOU'VE CERTAINLY GOT SOME OLD CRAP KICKING AROUND!!
hahaha!!! all of that for a drink of water...
I like the tags
Lets be honest, a fresh set of tyres wouldn’t go amiss here!
Was there a purpose for drivin in the pond?
There's just something about seeing a big 4 wheel drive vehicle getting stuck. :)
COOOOLLL!!!
