Brilliant thread and I've seen some classics over the years best left without photo's I think!

 

Here's one I was asked to nip over and see if I could drive it out!

 

It was rescued with the aid of another 13 tonne machine and some bog mats, with thankfully no damage, apart from a bomb crater in the poor guys field!

Whatever the bloke operating it was thinking was beyond me, as I had to walk the other machine over to where he was on mats to prevent it going down too!

This is probably my most famous incident, and fair play the cake they presented to me for my birthday was an all time classic!:thumb up:

That was totally my fault! We had cleared a wetland site and to do a tidy up simply chained a bog mat to the rear of the Dumper to drag around and remove all traces of wheel/track marks.

The best way is to drive the Dumper skip forwards and actually turn in the water as obviously you don't leave any marks there.

It worked brilliantly until there happened to be an old ditch literally a few feet into what we assumed was just inches of water, and we had been tracking past for weeks!

 

Fetched it straight out and no harm done thankfully, if it had been the other way around it would have been a write off!
