not a know it all but next time cut you 2 logs hook chains to your tracks pull the logs under the dozer then come on out i got one or two unstuck like that
Knowing when to stop before you totally bury it was the key to being able to get it out. pay no attention to all the armchair operators on here you did right.
I've had a couple of tractors like this one with flat tracks. I found them to be of very limited use because of just what you see here. This tractor would hardly back up the hill even when it wasn't stuck. You need good deep cleats for this kind of work. I had a friend that cut lengths of 1/2" x 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" angle iron and welded them on because he didn't want to buy a set of tracks. Worked like a charm.
Grouser bars can be welded on if u don't want to buy new. and yes I've buried a dozer or two. Sad feeling when u go to back up and alls u do is go down Glad u retrieved ur machine with relative ease
Get some good cleated tracks for this tractor, or get a tractor with good cleated tracks (or stay completely away from the mud). Tracks like these with pads only are nothing but trouble for the kind of work seen here.
You see a lot of folk saying that track loaders should have decent tracks and that is why they got stuck, but this is a bulldozer and it is badly missing big grousers :o)
Kenny Brunette I could not agree more, I've seen wire cables break before under load, it's like a whip, I could hardly watch, I was going to post the same comment!
I'd like to know what the wrecker billwas on that adventure. Lesson learned...Stay out of them damn mud holes with the dozers children. They are heavy and will sink.
They keep spinning the tracks fast & it just keeps digging it down---They need to spin them really slow to try to get to come up on top more---belly pan dragging !!!!!!!
push dry stuff in front of you all the way and make a road out for youself if your in any doubt about the land your on next time to avoid getting stuck not trying to sound off just my 2 cents
Funny how people that probably can’t even start it know all about them !! Is that a early one with 691 engine ??? Or the 429 ? Filters look like 691 ,,
Lewie McNeely ok cool !!it is the 691 probably turbo charged !! I have basically same engine in my 1957 TD18A series 182 !! Take care of it !! Good collectors piece !!!
@@mramey4115 I've been around the old switchover engines and thought they did right well. I think folks had problems with warming up and cooling down. I like IH stuff. It always did what it was supposed to do and seems like that's all you can ask. And that one was sure smoking like it had a blower on it.
Lewie McNeely I like the old internationals , I collect and use them also , no problems other then normal old age issues , I have 2 TD9’s and a TD 18 A series 182 ,, really like all them !
They get stuck with tall grousers too! I have stuck a couple myself, amazing what a good winch can do. Nice dozer!
Digginok
Just idle back at slow speed let the wrecker do the pulling. So the cable doesn't go slack.
Your little TD is meant to stay on dry road building unless you want to change tracks.

Great idea -- I got a TD18 - good trick to know
It worked on JD 450 too 👌👌👌👌

That is what you would call a blacktop Dozer you don't dare take it off the blacktop..

9/10 of it's knowing when to STOP before you go out of sight.

Looks like an awful lot of wrecker for a single rear axle truck.
Been better off to let the winch do the work
I don't know if I'd want to go into that muck with any caterpillar.
yup, got the wrong tracks on that dozer to be out in the mud.. thanks for posting

Cool machine, those tracks look slicker than eel doo doo
I got my 20b stuck like that and got it out with a chainsaw.
If that cable snapped it would have cut the video person in half

Hate to be that tow truck operator if that cable snapped and came around and got him
Or the person filming, it would have chopped him/her in half if it had parted, best to always stand clear of wire when it's under load.

Sounds like that motor needs a work over. Dozer lacks power.
SMOOTH MOOVE EXLAX! KNOW THE LIMITS OF YER MACHINE, IT CAN'T GO JUST ANYWHERE CAUSE IT'S A CRAWLER, NICE RIG THOUGH!
Weld some grousers on those pads
Talk about slicks....damn.
DONT GO IN THERE AGAIN !!!- HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU !!! LOL !!
26 ton of fun. Stay out of the swamp.Grousers are worn but what he does ain't worth building up yet
This is clearly Dragline work. Once the Product is out of the pit and drained/dryed then use the track machine for placement. Chief CWD
weld on new grousers or know better to stay on hard ground with those kind of tracks
A salesman told me one time they(the bulldozer) are made to sell not run
Time to put on Better cleats for ground work
Did the dozer finish up pulling the truck back up the hill ? He did give it his best shot at recovering the TD 20 after all .
They keep spinning the tracks fast & it just keeps digging it down---They need to spin them really slow to try to get to come up on top more---belly pan dragging !!!!!!!
That will be a dollar sir
I told the kid don't go in the woods bottom...
weld on new grousers
I'd put it up for adoption,.... and soon!

It's the 3-valve gas/diesel job. I saw the push/pull on the left side.

@@mramey4115 I just run them. Can't be picky when the light bill is due but a Corn Popper will do the work!
wrong type of tracks for the project.
lol
wrong or worn tracks
Good video
STOP SPINNING YOUR TRACKS
Needs grouser bars, 2 inches minimum.
Why or how did you need a towtruck with a rear winch???
JR Ruhl Either the winch doesn't work or there wasn't an anchor point.

Winch is for the cable blade not towing.
