6wd stuck

[spanky]

heres some pics to have a laugh at,cost me a box for getting stuck,this is what happens when you hit a soft spot in a paddock when weighing 50 ton.managed to tip off some of the load and another loaded truck towed me out,then spent 20 mins washing crap out of the rear discs and calipers.

[luckyme]

guess that's when the 18000Lb winch is not enough

[aroma]

what only a box, getting off lightly

[tweake]

soft spot in the paddock?
looks like the whole paddock is soft. surprised its not under water
certainly makes the my bosses little effort today look tame.

[mercutio]

i used to drive something like that a few years ago

it isn't a 4wd incident but this is me getting stuck at work








gues i shouldn't have gone back quite that far oh well a box of beer will erase everyones memories at work

[onebadman]

[basics]

what licence to you need to run these? WTR?

[hamboy]

A young fella borrowing our loader to recover his MU succeeded in doing this.

Tried driving around a fallen tree instead of moving it off the track

[onebadman]

Depending on size we run 40 toners so its class 4 and wh
eels licence

Or a class 2 and Special type-Wheels endorsement if you keep below 30km/h.

Mind you, most of the ADTs we use (from 30-50 tonne payload) have huge stickers inside saying "May not be operated on a public road".

[onebadman]

2 of ours have expired rego stickers hahaha

You boys have a long way to go.... 15yrs of logging you'll find a whole different level of stuck how about a 528 skidder stuck deep enough that I had to step up out of the cab to run the winch out.... pulled out 3 trees (thats pulled them over and ripped the stumps out of the ground) before one held
No pics if I'd stuffed around long enough to get a camera and take pics I'd have been sacked and more than likely smacked in the head by the boss or the forman for taking the piss
Heres a pic of a similar machine for perspective note the height compared to the containers behind (my wheels were level with the ground )

I got more on my old ph lol how about a 52 ton digger up to the engine cover in bog lol

[mercutio]

ahhhh astra big heaps of crap lol

That they are but i'll drive anything if i'm getting paid for it

an outfit i used to drive had astras and volvos, the volvos never had any problems and they had done heaps of hours and were driven like they were stolen as you get told to drive artics when learning lol but the astras you had to be so gentle with them and they still gave so many problems

[onebadman]

Yea shocking ride quality and small cab made it interesting for a guy of my stature we only have cats now.but did have a array of bells komatsu dosan trex hitachis and a damn astra lol

[mercutio]

the astras were crap but much more comfortable and quieter than the Terex TA40s i used to drive lol

[onebadman]

Haha the ta40s were shockin for electrical shorts n blowin taildoors i loved the little moxy mt36 little fo carts

[phraza]

Agreed,
Our Volvos are from 10-15,000hrs & don't give half the trouble of our 2-3,000hr Hitachi 30s or new Bell 50s. Just had a Hitachi die completely on me yesterday in the middle of a steep bottleneck & effectively shut mine ops down for a couple of hours until the mechanics could get up and swap electronic handpads over to get it shifted!
