What I've found works well when stuck in mud is to raise the front of the machine as high as possible by pushing down with the bucket fully tilted, then slide in some large fence posts crossways under the raised tracks. Once the bucket is lowered there's usually enough traction to get out. The bucket also needs some posts under it to lift the front of the skidsteer. In this case I would have placed posts under the left hand edge of the bucket, so most of the lift was on the left hand side of the machine.
Found your channel about 2-3 weeks ago. Have been binge watching all your videos lol. I’m amazed at what you can pull out with a 12k winch and snatch blocks. Awesome content!!
I like how you use your rigging training and math to develop a plan that works safely on the recoveries. Very professional in your approaches and actions. Good camera work as well.
Matt is an excellent person to pull vehicles and machines out of the mud. He’s uses skills and charts to decide how to pull. Great videos all the time.
Love watching you do these jobs with the right equipment. Never understood why so many people treat snatch blocks like they're a giant hassle to take the extra 5 minutes to rig up.
Been watching you for a while now. Never made a comment, but you have your stuff straight. You know what to do in a swamp, great show. God bless you and yours.
Your videos and content have truly inspired me to continue and double down on my development of an off-road recovery business in my area. Coming from a career in excavation, excellent work on this recovery with no damage to the iron.
Hey Matt I have been watching your videos for a little while now. I subscribed a few days ago. I'm amazed at what you do with a jeep and a winch. I have learned a lot. Thank you.
Nice detail about centering the winch cable. Enjoying the explanations of how and why you do things. How do you clean your straps and ropes? I'm beginning to get the impression that Florida is nearly 1/4 swampland. Greetings from Australia, it's 11:20 on Saturday morning, and I'm enjoying a good start to the weekend - watching 4wd recovery videos.👍
That remote controlled winch is a whole new ball game, it allows you to be in two places at one time You don't have to depend on someone, you now have both ends coved Well worth the investment.
there mistake was not using the brush to build up the ground they were pushing back onto. florida ground is rough its just like cornstarch in many places solid till you jiggle it
Between winning and los8ng. great to see old technics being used. Good old mechanical scotch blocks will anchor even better thansome hydraulic riggers Great job again. Hope your business is growing rapidly. Again your knowledge of rigging is the difference
This is a interesting channel to watch!! ... Better that anything on the TV (I got rid of cable years ago!!) ... It's different than some other off road recovery channels I watch. One thing I like about Florida off road recovery, is it's more similar to my area of Ontario Canada, where people get trucks and equipment REALLY stuck in the mud! :) Another thing I like is it is very realistic, one guy and his wife (sometimes even the kids along) dong a job for PROFIT and charging reasonable prices. It's all real, "Florida" Off Road Recovery never shows up with 6 vehicles and 8 men, to get a vehicle or piece of equipment un-stuck!! :)
For some context the John Deere 333g skid loader weighs a little over 12k lbs. With the front of the track under the ground, he's DRAGGING a 12k lb machine THROUGH the ground. Lol
Started watching cause the JT. Love that btw, but im sticking around for the content. I feel like im learning a lot about safe recovery seriously. Best kinda YT videos
Put a cable through the center of each track. Secure to track with a shackle or rope clip. Secure ends of cables to deadhead or tree. Drive tracked rig up cables. It will lift the rig right up out of the mud. The diameter of a set of tracks makes a huge winch drum.
I'm now watching your channel.last I saw Matt's off road recovery needs more ppl at his off road game sometime in March I think and you'd be a perfect candidate plz consider there's a group of close friends out the in Utah you'd fit in
@@matt.mckinzie ok your probably right I just thought it would be good for your channel and theirs I do enjoy watching your videos I'm in TN we have no real trails or recovery ppl of your or Matt's caliber
Kinda Customers call them They say call this guy They text me Sending you a stuck machine let me know if you can get to it thanks We get them out and charge the customer not the rental company But the rental company appreciate us getting them out without any damage or issues And Being affordable that the renter can afford it If they can’t then the rental company has to pay to get them out it’s his machine and he’s not gonna just let it sit there
Apologize for the last comment Cat skidsteers have eyes on the loader we hooked up straight down pressure on the bucket out she came don’t ever try to pull one out backwards they just dig down amazing job with a jeep hats off to you
Years ago my wife decided to do a little work with the tractor. She stuck it. The tractor weights around 5000 pounds. She goes next door and gets her sisters tractor to pull it out. She didn't bring her sister to drive the stuck tractor which only weight 2400 pounds. She gets it stuck with the chain tight now. Then she took my truck out there and again got the chain tight and stuck it also. She finally stopped and waited for me to get home from work. I told her to stay off the tractors from now on. I had hell. I finally got them all out. We had water tables on different parts of the property and we would have to break them up and let them dry up. Today after 25 years we can drive anywhere on the property. A brother inlaw who lives next door still has them with people getting stuck from time to time on his property. I tell him to call a toll truck.
Здравствуйте.Отлично работаете! Хотел дать вам совет, вы находитесь на против троса, если он порвётся то может попасть в вас и нанести травму. Мы когда вытаскивали из грязи, снега грузовики то наматывали на трос тяжёлую куртку "fufayka" по-русски это снижает скорость оборванного троса и меньше вероятность получить травмы. Отличный канал у вас смотрю с интересом.
Matt used the bottom of the bucket as a skid plate to help lift the tracks, so his anchor position was optimal. If he attached to the chassis, he would have been plowing the tracks through the mud.
The only thing i dont understand is why you dident wrap the ropes on top of the bucket, so that you could press the bucket down and raise the front of the machine.. 🤔❤️🇸🇪
It’s under the bucket to allow a lift If we had to push the bucket down to lift the tracks Plan was to push the bucket down and let it slide on the bucket if we had to
@@joeking3339 sorry didn’t see the first half of the question Ok so our base line calculation started at Operating weight 12,100lbs Over the tracks means 200% of weight required But we figured one one side is buried so really you base the calculation off 6,050lbs x 2 So a 12,000lb pull should be enough up to 24,000lbs if both side started getting buried Now this is also with hydraulics released and rolling Not with machine helping So ideally we planned it out as Apply 10,000lbs of winch force Move machine Apply 10k force Move machine Until it was coming out then winch and move together
Lol...I already knew how you were gonna get it out before I even clicked on the video......and winch and jeep was not my answer......logical planning and rigging were the first things to come to mind and lofl......calling casey ladelle was my plan b......which is safe because there is no plan b when you do it right the first time lmao

You are on the verge of redefining an industry standard.
Let’s hope so, no reason these jobs should be quoted out at 2 grand and a Jeep comes and pulls them out
If they quoted 2 grand you could be a hero for 1800. Super hero for 1600

Absolutely, which will make the jobs much easier
I love your recovery videos brother! I ran a wrecker and recovery section while in the US Army as well as my own business afterwards! Great job!!
there mistake was not using the brush to build up the ground they were pushing back onto. florida ground is rough its just like cornstarch in many places solid till you jiggle it
Wow, that thing was buried! The way it was plowing, I thought it was never going to pop up! Good job!

Cable through a rubber track?
@@aljosaskrabelj8412 Wrap a cable around the track pad. shackle in the center. Drive up cable. Thru or around doesn't matter.

You are very skilled at your craft, enjoyed watching, thanks for sharing. Eric, NH
Its not too joke with the mud, but happy ending ...🤝🏻
Looks like a natural spring in that back yard. 😮
What a lovely place to build a house.
😂
great recovery at first thought you were going at it the wrong way but once i thought about it knew you were correct
What's your opinion? I would have pulled backward. When our skids get stuck, it's always been easier to pull out from the rear if you can get to it.
Well done my friend and thanks.....
Old F-4 2 Shoe🇺🇸
I enjoy the content! That Gladiator of yours is a beast! We need a video with specs and mods! (You might have already made one. I haven’t looked…)
winch wins every time, keep parting the line with a proper anchor you could pull a locomotive out. Well done. 1st time viewer
Do you have a link for purchase of the scotch blocks or a pattern for them?
When I was ststioned at RTC ORLANDO I saw my first sink hole. We get mine collapses in Aridzona but y'all get Serious Mud!
One more snatch block off the tree then all the presure is between the tree and the machine. Plus increasing the pulling strength.
Snatch blocks are our friend's people!
That’s what I been saying
Trees and winches. Golden!
been there, done that... it sucks
Me Too
The equipment rental companies must have you on speed dial.
Kinda
Customers call them
They say call this guy
They text me
Sending you a stuck machine let me know if you can get to it thanks
We get them out and charge the customer not the rental company
But the rental company appreciate us getting them out without any damage or issues
And
Being affordable that the renter can afford it
If they can’t then the rental company has to pay to get them out it’s his machine and he’s not gonna just let it sit there
Nice job! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Amazing stuff!
Use the bucket to float the front up just pulling the tracks into the ground tip for next time awesome video
Apologize for the last comment Cat skidsteers have eyes on the loader we hooked up straight down pressure on the bucket out she came don’t ever try to pull one out backwards they just dig down amazing job with a jeep hats off to you
Very impressive for sure, I don't think they will push it backwards next time..
When you use the bucket like the front end of a Jon boat, you know you are really stuck! 😂
This is a man who knows physics
Rule no. 1, never stop working because of the conditions, props to the stump grinder for knowing this. lol
Man you are the real deal!
I like that rippin good ending.
A cyberthing would get that out.
You a dadgum master at this.
Block out one "do it yourself" but not the other one. Genius.
Pulling sideways on the loader arms will spring the loader
Should have did a rear pull so you can use the bucket to help push the machine along and the tracks wouldnt have went under the mud.
This jeep is the crowned king.. if it’s not then send a link to the other or the best.. until then all hail!!

Do you ever stop during a pull for the winch to cool down ?
Nice work!!
Another well done rescue. The skid steer tracks appear to be not very aggressive. Or were they work?
That a boy Matt good winch work
Thanks
Oh no! The tulips!
Could have used your services in the sandbox!
I'm thinking that's where he learned to do that. Most civilians don't have that knowledge.
That was awesome
Good work!!

that rope you use is unreal strong. what is it?
Get a bigger machine piece of cake, but I would just use block and tackle! Do it all the time!
Would love to work with you guys a show you some tricks,
Most people underestimate how much one of these "little" skid steers weighs. I'm guessing this one is around 15,000 lbs.
Do you use line locks instead of having someone holding the brakes in neutral?
Nicely done sir
As usual. Great job.
I really wonder how they thought the ground was firm enough to use that machine? Just one look should’ve told them it wasn’t.
Should be pulling from bottom skid steer chassis it better and less leverage.
Matt used the bottom of the bucket as a skid plate to help lift the tracks, so his anchor position was optimal.
If he attached to the chassis, he would have been plowing the tracks through the mud.
How does one turn that mud hole into dry, firm land?
I guess someone will be out with the pressure washer later...
Nothing sinks like a Deere.
Friend good work 💪 jeep
You are awesome dude!
Hi may I ask what kind of Winch do you have on jeep thanks for sharing

The only thing i dont understand is why you dident wrap the ropes on top of the bucket, so that you could press the bucket down and raise the front of the machine.. 🤔❤️🇸🇪
It’s under the bucket to allow a lift
If we had to push the bucket down to lift the tracks
Plan was to push the bucket down and let it slide on the bucket if we had to
Excellent !!
What did you figure the stuck resistance at ?
What is the MBS on your Spydura Pro 3/8 winch rope ?
Mbs is if I remember correctly 18,900
We had it doubled up so 37,800 ish
@@matt.mckinzie thanx Matt !
@@joeking3339 sorry didn’t see the first half of the question
Ok so our base line calculation started at
Operating weight 12,100lbs
Over the tracks means 200% of weight required
But we figured one one side is buried so really you base the calculation off 6,050lbs x 2
So a 12,000lb pull should be enough up to 24,000lbs if both side started getting buried
Now this is also with hydraulics released and rolling
Not with machine helping
So ideally we planned it out as
Apply 10,000lbs of winch force
Move machine
Apply 10k force
Move machine
Until it was coming out then winch and move together
@@matt.mckinzie gotcha ,,, appreciate !!

This is the price the pay for liveing in florida
What exactly are you blurring
Something tells me that home might have some water issues
I would have pulled backwards. Would have been a much easier pull. Track wouldn't dig in and Pulling on bucket pulls the machine down.
that ground needs a soak-away at the end of the land
