That's some good chain! It looked like lamp chain stretched between those 2 heavy machines! It must have been stronger than it looked as it did the job!
Ah memories. 30 years ago I stuck a 977K so bad I could walk straight off the deck onto the ground. Pops was not happy. I do miss the old traxcavators though. Don't see them around much anymore.
Track loaders are more of a regional thing now I think. In SE Wisconsin they’re sporadic, a company may have 1-2 but they’re more backup machines. Go down into Illinois and I mean just across the border and they’re everywhere. I really don’t care for them, a backhoe is faster and a wheeled loader is more versatile but I’ve seen a guy run a track loader and my argument of them being a thing of the past is heavily negated, damn that guy was good
Quick tip put the teeth of the excavator bucket in the ground and crowd out using the bucket as a anchor/leverage point. Works really well in slipper conditions.

good way to get hit by a chain. trust me i learned that one the hard way with my 953c and a big tractor. chain broke came through my back glass. fortunately it missed my head but it did bang up my elbow pretty good
makes me wonder about creating some clamp on to the sides of the treads that could be installed fairly easily.. get a leaf spring manufacturer to create it out of spring steel so you have a few treads with big paddles to help get you out of Sticky situations like was shown in the video.
Get that out with explosives. No seriously, you put a stick under it and when it goes off full forward travel. It breaks the suction and a little "lift" and in that moment you can move. Years ago a old cat skinner showed me that dammed if it didn't work. 5min safety fuse it's a long wait tho. Good times.....same tool you use to get a bent axle moving out of one takes all the windows out of the shop. Good times.... Welcome to the west coast of BC
I wonder if there are unditching attachments that would be useful in situations like this. Like the logs used to unstick tanks by lashing them to the tracks?
That log idea would work if the can be attached or two or three wide enough eye beams brought to the site when needed . Possibly a way to attach that chain or cables to a few trees and one or both of the tracks. My motto is "There is always a way". Evident in and proven by the Pyramids existing! The trick is finding the easiest solution that works and believing in the motto even when your at a loss at the moment. Don't give up thinking because your stumped.
My guess it is transport 70. Pretty much indestructible. When I ran my own dozer I never even looked at farmer chain, got some steel loading chain and stretched and broke it, got some transport 70 and never had a problem.
Hi, Folks. Armchair commentator strikes again. Track loader do NOT normally have tall grousers like a dozer as that would chew up the ground too much with all the constant sharp turning while loading trucks. Instead, they normally have two or sometimes three much shorter grousers per track plate as per this video of a NEW machine. th-cam.com/video/-Cvc-srIaI0/w-d-xo.html Just my 0.02. You all have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
@@dplant8961 I’m sure the point he was making, regardless of the purpose of the slick tracks, is only a dumbass would take those slick tracks into something like that.
Hi, @@jlbush8249 . I'm not going to try to read his mind and guess what his point might have been. I was simply stating that most track loaders do not have taller grousers like a dozer, which is literally what his comment referred to. You can sometimes see dozer style grousers on a track loader in the timber industry or some other specialty application but not in normal track loader usage. IF I had HAD to take that machine anywhere near that situation, I would have gone in face first 'cos that would have kept the engine uphill which would have improved traction and I could have used the bucket to help get myself out if needed. It is amazing just what those Cat hydrostatic track loaders can get themselves out of if the engine is facing towards firm ground. BUTTTT, I would have needed a REALLY GOOD reason to go anywhere near it. Also, and to put not too fine a point on it, it would not be anyone's 'smartest ever decision' to take ANY machine into that mess Just my 0.02. You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
those tracks look totally worn out, the should have much better bars. You would not switch tracks though, they are heavy and expensive, those just look like they need to be replace.
Al S we often switch pads here in Ireland. We just change the whole chain for a different set of chains. Wet bog land winter would put 3 or 4ft pads on and for summer normal work we have 28 or 30 inch pads as standards.
Was the guy at the end, making hand signals the one that got stuck? He had that look in his eye. Chris is doing okay these days I reckon. Just unstuck a excavator few weeks back.
I'm a big fan of slings versus chain . seen far too many chains let fly on heavy pulls . not that it would have helped in that greazy slick mud ... why does that machine have the track version of racing slicks as opposed to tracks with cleats that would have more grip ? cost ?
Chris please buy and use some 3/4" mariner chain. It makes me nervous watching videos like this. I'd hate to hear about you or someone else getting whipped buy a broken chain
Looks like a good grade 70 chain, can't believe you didn't know how to hook it, pulling down on the machine only puts weight on the front of the tracks and makes it spin worse.
aye letsdig18 I was wondering if you need a high school diploma to be a operator or can I just have a ged and go to school for heavy equipment operators
+Brendon Desanto buddys right u need to work your way up, i started as a labourer and run equipment now, a guy started after i did with all his `` operators tickets`` and still doesnt run anything bigger than a spade shovel, get into a smaller company and work the trenches to get seat time then goto a larger company once you can actually run equipment like i did, easiest way...

That is one tough ass chain! But it looks like I'm not alone in that thinking.
Wow! Your Volvo is Huge! I never knew it was that big it’s a monster compared to that other one.
That's some good chain! It looked like lamp chain stretched between those 2 heavy machines! It must have been stronger than it looked as it did the job!
that was what I was thinking !
Small chains always scare me a little bit
+fastgreenohio I was waiting for a nice pop and to see that chain go flying. Sure didn't look strong enough for all the yanking they were doing.
I thought the exact same thing!
Haha I love the camera angle, it makes the loader look tiny, like a Tonka truck. Makes it easier to pull out of the mud that way right.
That Cat lader was deep stuck, but the Volvo excavator got it out nice Chris
Ernie won the Bet ! ...he crossed the pond ...but he got stuck on the shore line ....poor Ernie
I think that y’all do a better job of getting stuck than I used to do when I was farming
Chris prob made the Chain himself. That would explain a lot ! 👍👍

The tracks are smooth, no teeth , wore out
love your video's !!
"Hey operator, the only thing you're going to operate for the rest of the week is the ass kicking machine"!
Loll right look at his face when he gets out hahahah gon get a talkin to
That certainly was nice of him to Linda helping hand!

Everytime I see a video like this with a chain I'm like, couldn't throw a heavy blanket over the chain to keep people from dying?!
I once got a D9 stuck... fortunately back before youtube. Took a dragline to get it out. Or at least we used a dragline because it was there.
I was expecting that chain to let go anytime, taking out some glass or even worse. balls of titanium.
OOOPS ! good thing ya got that ex to pull yer ass outa jams like that .
Damn that pond was low, awful lot of silt in there. What was he trying to grade the banks and slid in?
You got that right THE Foreman. Really dumb to run off into that mud.
And this is why we can't have nice things lol
wow perspective it looked like a tiny bobcat style skid steer as you walked up to
Are there any cleats on that loader? Not much in the way of gripping power.
track loader or submarine?
Old trick was to put chains onto track pads and secure to a tree and use tracks to pull yourself out . Hard to get a hook in between pads.
Not a bad thought. How about welding up a device that can be attached to the track for when a chain attachment is needed?
The 160?
So did you get the job?
makes me wonder about creating some clamp on to the sides of the treads that could be installed fairly easily.. get a leaf spring manufacturer to create it out of spring steel so you have a few treads with big paddles to help get you out of Sticky situations like was shown in the video.
Sounds good but you know they just dig even deeper into the mud.
What better job than to play all day. awesome sauce
Uh oh another recovery
Looks like someone got caught playing in the mud.
Well....fast forward to 2021; it's better than having one *sitting there on fire.*
Back the excavator up might actually be able to do something your knuckled into closed already
Better idea would be to run a chain from the tracks to the tree, and just walk the machine up the chain..
definitely can't cross there lol

Grade 10 chain, it brakes at 80 ton, when looped.
that's right good chain but Wtf was he thinkin
Nice recovery
Say chicken nugget over and over again like a choo choo train.. it sounds cool..
i want to know what kind of chain that was .
My guess it is transport 70. Pretty much indestructible. When I ran my own dozer I never even looked at farmer chain, got some steel loading chain and stretched and broke it, got some transport 70 and never had a problem.
dudes got no treads, its like racing slicks on a loader

Are there tracks you can switch to with deeper teeth so you aren't just sliding around in the mud?
Yeah there is. Triple bar grouser pads with one extra high rib. Single bar grouser pads. Or apex pads or curved apex pads
those tracks look totally worn out, the should have much better bars. You would not switch tracks though, they are heavy and expensive, those just look like they need to be replace.
Al S we often switch pads here in Ireland. We just change the whole chain for a different set of chains. Wet bog land winter would put 3 or 4ft pads on and for summer normal work we have 28 or 30 inch pads as standards.
Yes probably $20,000 easily.
Darrell Roeters wouldn’t cost that here.
You need some TRACTIONS with more TRACTION ....
Haha now that bad boy was stuck
Could've used that old dresser
Was the guy at the end, making hand signals the one that got stuck? He had that look in his eye. Chris is doing okay these days I reckon. Just unstuck a excavator few weeks back.
Take 2? lol.
Why did you keep moving the bucket like that?
i think he did it to transfer weight ,,
My grandma had necklaces thicker than that chain but apparently it was strong enough.
Is there any place in N.C that isn’t a swamp? OK, other than the mountains.
👍👍
Youve done that before then !!
I'm a big fan of slings versus chain . seen far too many chains let fly on heavy pulls .

+kasnitch Ahh, crawler loaders have short grouser tracks for turning a lot without tearing up the U/C Not designed for swamping.

I'm a little shocked you brought that 953 anywhere near mud with tracks that look like yours !!!! What's up with that ?
nice save boys!

Uanow
Guy in excavator isn't doing anything
this is nature becuse excavator strong of truck loader or wheel loader she is like metal dragon ...nice👍videp i love like this good luck peace
your cat needs new tracks !
Putting gloves on to take a chain off. I bet he carries a purse.🤣

Ok thanks bo
@@brendondesanto2892 GET A GED AND THEN GO TOO HEAVY EQUIPMENT SCHHOOL OR ARMY
Bad kitty
That needs new tracks there messed up
Nah I have a 1981 953, that how the tracks are on those. Not hard to get stuck.
Oops.
Why the fuck did he keep shaking the loader bucket up and down??????
Dang

Crawler loader on pit tracks, not much crozier.
+Marvin Wegner why? those are the standard pads?!
You rescue "cats" from trees too? ;)
thats not a tonk toy
the fuck were you thinking going in there with that!?!?!?!
He didn't put it in there, read the description... it says he got a call to go help the owner of the front end loader get it out of a pond...
no shit... read before you bash people
exactly
Zero growsers left on those pads..wow..
Pretty sure they are just street pads.
@@graemedalgleish8944 Kinda like using slicks on a car in the snow..
Street pads would let you travel around in town without cutting up the pavement but where he is I don't think anything would have helped him.
My god that's some disgusting muck the loader has sunk in.
Lol lol
Dad gum boy it's getting to be very tiring watching u get unstuck, maybe u should stay with the pickup!
REALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
A good operator could have got himself out without sticking it further.
There is no substitution for experience !

Hope that kid stopped smoking.....
Idiots dig the suction around it first your gonna brake the chaine..
SHOULD CHANGE YOU NAME TO "BEGINNERSAREUS18"
He's not the one that got stuck! He was called in to get it unstuck.
