Yeah, that was a bobcat 60" Mulching Head. It worked really well after we pulled it out and put it to work. mrsops, that was a 246C which is only 66" wide. Our bucket was bigger (74" wide)..

I didnt make the call that ended up getting that T190 stuck.. I just did what the big boss(Dad) said to do! I told him I aint going back there, I had a hard time getting to where I was, no way I could go back. But no, I could get through it just one more time!
It's because we don't have a Cat :laugh:*trucewhiteflag*

Got to get yourselves on a dozer for a year, then you get the idea where you can go with a CTL, and just to make everyone feel better, even I get stuck:

True Story from 12-13 years ago....
Local WWTP (a 10 MGD facility was having its sludge handling facilities expanded. An additional basin was being added with floating covers for all.
Basins were 12-13 feet deep with 20 degree slopes on sidewall. Backhoe operator was apparently distracted (full cab machine) and shot the machine backward down into the existing operational basin.
Machine disappeared out of sight except part of the cab roof. The operator staggered out of the sludge basin after about minute. Completely covered. How that guy managed to get out of the machine and claw his way up the slope in the darkness and smelly mess of an existing sludge basin is beyond me. An absolute nightmare.....

Doesn't the person know your supposed to take a wood stick and see how deep the water is before you go in :laugh:
Thank god it isn't something that has to be delt with here. We do have swampy areas but your not supposed to be working around them anyways it is illegal to do so.
Haha Junior- Trackless yes, broke no. Just doing an oil change. Many fond memories on that machine...
