First of all, I know the dozer operator was keeping his blade low incase he starting slipping backward, he could dig it in and stop himself. That is good, but, when you realize you are slipping in the mud, you back out of the way and let the excavator scrape out the top couple inches of mud where each track will travel. And for the excavator, unless you have a rock or tree stump to grab onto, you push yourself up the hill, not pull, because when you put that bucket in the ground in front of you, you are taking too much weight off the tracks for good traction. Lastly, some people suggested going up the hill on a 45 degree angle or sideways....wrong! When you put tracks on mud or ice sideways, the tracks act like sled runners and when you get sliding down the slope on a dozer or excavator, you stand a good chance of flipping the machine and having a real bad day. Fifty one years experience operating dozers, loaders, and excavators. I should know something.

I always hated mud in winter, I drove the big Terex dump truck, but was delegated with taking the sharp shooter shovel to clean the dozier under carriage at the end of the day, mud tends to freeze on the rollers overnight and limit movement, wearing them out. Our trackhoe's had wide tracks on them, I've seen them practically float across an area that was 16' of back fill, my big truck would start sinking if I didn't drive fast across it.

Using the pull method on the excavator at each return of the bucket towards the cab he should rotate his tracks 45 degrees before letting the grip on the bucket go so tracks can dig in just enough to hold his place and not to much to risk a tip over depending on the incline. then when he extends his bucket out for another pull straighten the tracks and repeat the method. this has always worked great for my father and i working in the bush.

Actually, most dozers from the 80's and up are totally independent in drives. Most newer dozers are hydrostatic drive and steer/operate in a similar fashion to a stick steer lawnmower. Not only is there no diff lock you have a totally separate drive for each track,

I know I am about 8 years late, but I am watching this for the first time. Thanks for making that clear. I was wondering why the tracks were spinning at different rates and one spinning while the other was still, at times. Being locked together, along with some more aggressive cleats, would have helped a lot, especially if the mud would release from the tracks.

I have taken a D9 straight up hills like this right after rain. Them tracks must have been worn down badly. The guy on the excavator was toying with disaster though.. Even if you are good enough to feel the balance and know you won't flip, it is still best to not take the chance on such an expensive piece of equipment. Keep the arm to the rear and continue pushing your way up.

I would like to clearify a fact of physics about the excavator and weather or not the operator should reach behind him or in front, The logic for reaching behind is so you dont take weight of the tracks decreasing pressure. In actuality its a wash. It doesnt matter as for as weight distribution if your over the back or the front, either way weight comes off the side your pulling or pushing from and increases to the rear of the machine. I have been running excavators for over twenty years and in all applications from pipe lining to highway and civil development. I have taken excavators up 1/1 slopes, have sat and operated on 1 1/2-1 slopes, basically I am very comfortable on steep slopes. I always pull myself up since the two techniques are a wash its best for safety and control to see and watch where your going. In fact pipe liners are the only bunch I know of that turn around and push them selves up the slope and sorry to say even though they are the best paid (which is due to politics subsidies) they are typically the least qualified and skilled.

+James Sarensen My dad, back in the day, had to do the same thing with an excavator. The rest of the crew of bulldozers made it over the hill and then cleared the next hill effectively leaving my dad all by himself to clear the hills and valley. After he cleared the first hill and started down into the valley, the excavator slipped in the mud, and my dad saw his entire life flash before his eyes when he and the excavator was sliding down the hill. After that, the bulldozer crew figured out that they left my dad behind, and came back for him. He learned a valuable life lesson. If the bulldozer crew want to be assholes, and leave you behind on the excavator, get on the CB and whine like a bitch until they come to get you.
