Now that's some bad slop! It's good to see someone concerned about the equipment. Most people would have beat it into the mud bending every piece of sheet metal there was then cuss at it afterwards. You're a good level headed operator! Nice job, Stay safe, John

That big old powerful machine feels mighty helpless in a situation like that. I set a Komatsu 300 down in a bog like that & if not for a big old beautiful virgin southern pine within boom reach I could latch on to the base of,, I was in store for some powerful ribbing when certain people drove up to see what I'd gotten myself into. All that weight can work against you in certain circumstances & when that cab & frame tilts on you,, it's pretty disorienting spinning that booger around trying to get your bearings again. Glad you had the luxury of some dry dirt around,, I didn't. I made my own muddy sump wading into the middle of a suspect bottom twisting & turning those tracks until that bottom fell out from under me. Eventually it'll happen to anyone who works in unstable & uncertain terrain long enough. Thank goodness for big ole' southern pines!
