It happens, the hard bit is swallowing your pride very early on and getting assistance? The damage is done by fighting the situation, what could be a two minute recovery can very quickly become a written off machine.

I think they realised pretty quickly that they were going to need a bit of help.

Whyever would anyone take a monstrous 180tonne excavator (& presumably on very narrow rock-quarry tracks) off the absolutly certifibly rocky "hard".

As Steven used to say "does not compute, does not compute":lol:

Indeed. I learnt the hard way many years ago with a hired in digger, ended up stuck in a fish pond I was cleaning out! Thank God there was a building firm next door, who pulled me out with a mini JCB loadall.

 

Never been stuck since thankfully. The difference between a skilled operator and one who just understands what lever does what is also a huge factor.
