No operating fools ‍♂️ welcome to the circus!

 I love big machinery rescuing other machines. I'm a forklift operator, but just recently completed my training on the excavator, and on my third day I had to "rescue" a dumper which was stuck in the snow, just push it with the bucket - easy. Point is that it's awesome that you can use the immense power of one machine to rescue the other. You usually don't use the bumpers of your car to push another car out of a spot, but with these machines, covered with thick steel everywhere, you can use buckets, tracks, hydraulics, blades - whatever you have handy to rescue someone else - it's awesome! :)
 The most impressive thing about that whole video was the strap they were using.  I believed it would have snapped a chain.  Secondly, I'm surprised the camera man didn't get stuck or hurt.  Thanks for sharing and putting up with all the arm chair operator quarterbacks. It seems obvious to me that the reason the dozer kept his tracks going was to try and break suction and assist the excavator. The excavator would not pull the dozer skidding.
 I have watched this several times how does he expect to get that thing out you have to dig out behind it and the guy spinning the track on the dozer wow  How did that dozer guy think he was going to do anything with that mud. He was spinning way to much when the excavator wasn’t even pulling.
