I was one of the beavers which was responsible fore the construction of those dams. Although I wasn’t pleased you ruining my work, me and my coworkers had the time of our life looking at you getting stuck in the ditch and your struggle to get out. For your information: the construction drawings for some new dams are already there. The actual build starts next week. Cheers.
I have come to learn that EVERYONE with an excavator will eventually find them selves in such a situation (might not even be their fault) so seing this and what it takes to get out is a really valuable. Thank you for posting and letting us learn.
Thanks for the video. Glad you got out without too much damage. The only people who don't make mistakes are the ones that never do anything :) . How many hours did it take to get the machine out?
Just a tip when trying to pull yourself out use joystick while pulling and move yourself side to side to break suction while pulling also seems to give tracks lil extra boost
Yea, a did all that and I have never seen a excavator that got boost on tracks when you move your boom an tracks together. This excavator don't have extra hydraulic pump for tracks or something.
To be honest that ditch did look ok to go across until you got in there my god you kept sinking but glad you got it out , I’ll remember this when I have something like that to do thanks for uploading 👍🏼
Reminds me of the time i got stuck next to a pond, the ground was soft under the surface but looked solid on top.... was just driving and boom sunk down to the frame.
Well unlike all the experts below i throughly enjoyed watching you get out of there! ....but then i ofter have to dig myself off the sides of mountains with hand tools.
I thought #beaversrevenge was something that once you caught it, you'd have to go to the doctor to get fixed? Oh well, heavy machinery is cool too! Nice job getting it out!
Damm good idea to lift The counterweight so you don’t swing in the mud put mud in the bucket and bounce that was awesome never thought about that been operating for over 20 years see you learn something new every day 🤟🏻👍👍👍👍👍👍
Next time bring big board to make a ramp just in case , safety first ! Beaver FLAG is waving in other side ! Congrats you made it... Beaver he's back ..run and swim for your life ...hahaha
legitimate question. when you are stuck in a situation like that, i notice you kept trying to go forward and pull yourself out. why not swing around and try and push yourself out? and specific reason?
There we're a few times that if you had turned around and pushed you would have come on out of there I've been bogged down in that same situation before
Yeah, maybe. I,m tried this many times with this excavator. It helps only when you can get a right angle for boom and stick. This machine is too weak this way.
When you pull yourself you pick up the leading edge of the tracks to get up on things. In this situation you would just push yourself deeper especially in the bottom of a drainage ditch. I’m wet mud like that suction is your worst enemy.
@@FattyMatty024 Yeah, that's right. I know that well but as you see I didn't do that enough when I was going into the ditch. I realized this immediately when I reached the bottom and I knew that now probably I get stuck. I broke the bottom of the ditch with the tracks leading edge.
Here we needed to remove the dam because we raised the water with pond dam and we didn't want to leave the dams under the water. Basically we removed the dams and raised water back up. So beavers got more water to live on.
Having no experience whatsoever, I have a curiosity question. If it were permissible, once stuck, would it have been possible to dig the opposing bank down to the level, maybe lower, of the stuck machine? Dig under the front tracks and place the drier dirt there for a base? Do this until the tracks could get traction and clear of the mud? Is what I described even possible? I know you were relieved once you got out. Thanks for posting.
It is possible. But in this case the water is flowing through and fills the hole. But we dug out the wet clay all the time and put the dry dirt back under the tracks. Basically we did this way.
I'm not a machine operator, haven't even played one on TV, but I have owned pickups (and a '91 Ford Festiva, my personal favorite) that I've gotten mudded up pretty deep before. Floor mats and dry brush always saved the day. I got the Festiva in a couple situations far worse than you have here where everyone was telling me to give it up and let it RIP as it was already mostly buried, but that silly smurf blue car never let me down and always managed to dig itself out once I sacrificed the floor mats and fed it some scrub brush! Don't tell the ladies, but we know it's all worth it if you're having fun.
The best thing about getting stuck in a 4x4 especially in mud (hip deep) is having my sons along, oh boy did they enjoy it lol, we still talk about it today, 'The Day Dad Got His Truck Stuck' lol. Maybe I should write a book about it, might make a good kids story, apart from all the swearing lol
Only when you've got in a pickle like this do you become an experienced operator , if you don't push boundaries you`ll never be confident enough to know it's capabilities and make a right choice !
That’s one thing you get to learn when working with companies over the years. Especially companies that like to hire inexperienced “cheap” “operators”. 😂 when I first started in the field I worked for a few of those companies. I got to see a LOT of crazy things happen. Drug addicts blacking out at the controls of excavators. One guy slumped over the swing stick and was spinning wide open for hours. Cops came. They tried throwing rocks at the cab to wake him up. Didn’t work. 😂 he finally woke up and stopped. Cop ran up and opened the door. Guy had a needle in his arm. Scary stuff.
WoW what a mess,, and I’m glad you said it first, and I’m not gonna say anything bad because after 37 years operating heavy equipment I’ve found myself in that same situation before and y’all rescued your machine that’s what counts. And I’m sure that you will think twice before trying to cross a simple looking ditch again. Great job guy’s keep on digging and get them beavers 🦫
Damn, I'm glad we don't have beavers in my country ha. Have you ever thought of making a bracket for the back of the machine to carry 2-3 wooden mats, or time for the bigger tracks. I used to work on the bogs in Ireland cutting turf, drawing/windrowing peat and ditch digging and we would have massive tracks on the xe 100s and trackers, you should look up on here Irish turf cutting and Bord na Móna stuck. Thanks for the great upload. 👍
Great video, glad you got your machine out. So do the beavers live in your pond now?. If you dont mind me asking how long did it take to get your machine out?. M. Canada.
This remind me of the 'King of the Hill' episode when Dale and Bill get an excavator stuck in a hole and are stuck all day until Hank comes to help them extract themselves. After having this experience, you definitely should watch it because you can relate.
That looked like fun. Went from safe, to about to do something stupid, doing something stupid, realizing stupid, calling in help and digging a deeper hole to get out, then your out. Congratulations. Did you learn anything? Go Beavers !!!
Thats one dam that would have been better left alone, the amount of making good required far outweighs any improvements. Also the removal can cause flooding damage elsewhere.
Thumbs are relatively cheap. Next time you might want to consider mats. The thumb would help a lot for picking the debris out too. I would have been afraid to go into a bog like that without mats. I would have sunk out of site with my narrow rubber tracks too. Anyway, thanks for sharing just how easy it is to get jammed up. Things like that make me think thrice before jumping off in a creek.
@@AFHProjects Oh, well... you probably saved someone else a lot of grief. I had a similar experience in a sand pit with a 1 ton and trailer. Had t o drag it out with the excavator.
For a more spectacular dam removal - explosives. At least you got out of that ditch again. So how about a stronger bridge that can carry the machine in the future?
I once got a skidsteer stuck in some stuff like that. The more I tried to get myself out, the worse it got. I had to have a friend extend planks to me over the swamp so I could get out of the cabin. Luckily my neighbor was working his field with his big 9R with tracks, he was able to pull me out. Once nature patched in the area, it did make a nice little deep spot by the creek, kids can swim in it lol. My engine bay was hit too, full of swamp gunk, smells like a turtle's gym sock.
Why is this trench there in the first place? A moat? Beavers are good for local hydrology and fire protection. Pretty wild experience! Glad you're okay.
it is pretty funny after the fact when it is not happening to you. I did something similar with an excavator a couple times. I noticed how you tried to pull yourself out the way you came. When i had done it my first time I only went about half as far as you were extended, dug my bucket blade in and lifted as high as i could go up before pulling while driving. Repeat as needed. Once my tracks were about a quater on dryer soil i swung around and pushed while driving. A lot less damage. But I can kinda see that the back of your machine might not have made it acceptable.
Have you ever considered Dynamite? ...It rids of Beaver Dams very quick and simple without wear and tear on mechanical equipment. I've seen one blown up and so I thought I'd mention this other option to you.
this might sound crazy but i've got 35000 hours in the seat of excavators. It looks like that machine has weak hydros but if its possible in a situation like that for a last resort is to lift your machine completely up onto the counter weight , rotate your rails 90 degrees and walk down the ditch till you can dig your way up the bank
Wow... The seat hours. Yeah, the suction was so strong. i tried to lift it out but... Actually my plan was to help with this another excavator to brake the suction and lift from tracks but the other excavator driver with more seat hours killed my plan. I don't know why.
@@AFHProjects hahaha yeah I could see how weak that machine is, sometimes it's not the operators fault but the machine is just too weak, happy to see you're out without any damage
@@digndurt6936 I wasn't saying to rotate the upper structure, I was saying to lift the whole machine up standing it on the counter weight that was on the bank , doing that lifts the undercarriage completely in the air and can be rotated to the direction freely
Phew I feel ya on that one. That’s a right mess eh. If I’m crossing a questionable area... I do the bucket test. If my bucket sinks easily more than 1/4 of its height... I take the side of caution and log mat it with whatever is available.
I guess you ended up on the side of the creek you wanted to be. I was anxious the whole time watching you. I bet you were to. Were you able to re-secure the bridge?
Wonder if you had lifted the boom as far as it would go and the dipper right in when turning you might have been able to push yourself up properly looked like you were pulling yourself in were you placed the bucket no expert just something to think on if ever in that situation again always easy to think about different tactics watching a video tbf. Stay safe and take care
Thanks! It's too weak to push like this and you push the back of the excavator into the ground this way. If you pull, it's stronger and you can lift your front same time.
Damage? Moving dirt around? Since when is "dirt" a god? Sorry but the needs of ppl far exceeds that of animals. Btw; a .22 will stop any further need for an excavator.
@@DanKoning777 lol take it easy buddy. Softening all that soil in that drainage bed could lead to some major erosion problems in the future. A flood could eat that away and cause big headaches. But seriously chill bro.
Shawn Segaar-Bratsch I love watching these mighty machines and the men that operate them impose they’re will on the earth. No shame, no guilt. Just digging, rip, shred. It’s so nice to be at the top of the food chain. The fact that it triggers weakling liberals......delicious.

Were the beaver dams causing damage to homes or roadways? Can you maybe explain why destroying their habitat was necessary?

Another fine mess you've gotten into Ollie.
could you add a winch to the excavator for when you get in trouble..get yourself out?
Theoretically, you can do that. Everything is possible.
What is geotextile used for? Sides will move with the wind
To prevent erosion.
That rapid's project is exactly the kind of noise that beavers make dams to stop. They'll be back.
Thats one dam that would have been better left alone, the amount of making good required far outweighs any improvements. Also the removal can cause flooding damage elsewhere.

@Chiloé Indómito Gracias!
Yup it happens sometimes. Luckily you had help getting out. I thought you could make it. More grip on the tracks and you would have probably made it.
My plan was to get it the other side and put some more logs under the tracks, but this solution wasn't my idea.
I would have a new fur coat after having to go through all that. :-)
Why is this trench there in the first place? A moat? Beavers are good for local hydrology and fire protection. Pretty wild experience! Glad you're okay.
This ditch is for water that comes from different places and lakes.

I agree there was a couple times he could have turned around and pushed and come on up out of that hole
Not enough power to push!

It's not so easy to use explosives in Estonia. You can't just buy it an use it.
looks like you found the deepest and muddest spot in the entire ditch to get stuck in haha
Almost.
i guess you won't be making that mistake again any time soon. lol
Whats the tracking back and forth doing to do except dig you deeper
If you try to lift the tracks out from mud then you have to move them to brake the suction.
Looks like your dog is enjoying the water.
this might sound crazy but i've got 35000 hours in the seat of excavators.

Beavers are remarkable animals. Big machines are cool but for something so small it really alters the lwndscape
I enjoyed watching him dig in deeper by moving the tracks back and forth like it was going to magically get him out!
Of course with my above comment said, i would have never got that machine out.

When handled properly ,an excavator is a beautiful thing!

Damn it! You were really stuck
Did the beavers thank you for the pool you installed for them

Thanks! It's too weak to push like this and you push the back of the excavator into the ground this way. If you pull, it's stronger and you can lift your front same time.
How nice! You destroyed the beaver ponds but then made them a nice new one under the bridge.
Yep... Need to fix that one day.
Was it worth it?
Of course not.
Y'all did more damage than any beaver could have.
Looks like that yeah.
Sucks when it happens but it happens. I got a skid steer buried once. What was worse is it got stuck in cow crap!lol
Damage? Moving dirt around? Since when is "dirt" a god? Sorry but the needs of ppl far exceeds that of animals.
Btw; a .22 will stop any further need for an excavator.
@@DanKoning777 lol take it easy buddy. Softening all that soil in that drainage bed could lead to some major erosion problems in the future. A flood could eat that away and cause big headaches. But seriously chill bro.
Shawn Segaar-Bratsch I love watching these mighty machines and the men that operate them impose they’re will on the earth. No shame, no guilt. Just digging, rip, shred. It’s so nice to be at the top of the food chain. The fact that it triggers weakling liberals......delicious.
how much time did you spend on getting the excavator out compared to removing beaver dams? LOL
14h. Beaver dams 2 maybe.
бобрам респект)))...и лайк тож,бобрам!)))
Мы делаем это. Мы их не уничтожили, я прорвал дамбу и снова поднял воду плотиной пруда.
the tread on that thing looks to be very smooth and i don't think it is just mud filling in.
It has at least 50% left. Thats not the case here. Yeah, the new ones are more sharp but it is what it is.
