excavator trucked to site. dug out the drivers side to level it up. then the boys dug out most of the mud from under the truck by hand.

I love you man, thanks for taking these pictures. I cant believe it really. I though beating out 100 foot of 2 1/2 hose was a bad day.

Hope they called for locates,call before you dig,"grin".I bet the cost of recovery was like wow.Yes,thanks for the pic's,makes me remember all those bad days.

this happened in a fairly remote location in north queensland australia. 4hr drive to truck the excavator to the machine. initially they tried to get an all terrain crane to it but that got bogged too. luckily not far in and was towed out easily.

There are times, my friend,
When no matter how brave the Noble Knight
No matter how swift his Gallant Steed
No matter how pure the Maiden he would rescue
No matter how Just the cause for which he fights
There are times, my friend,
When the Dragon will still win.

yea some days you are the dog and most days there is MANY.

I know the straps are not that strong but I think the strap kept to boom in the cradle. Otherwise it would have been worse.
