Wily is at home laughing and shaking his head. Calvin is saying what did I get myself into.
Very impressed with your neighbor,Calvin. Not only is he a great neighbor, but a good man.
Cherish people like that.
thank god for friends like Calvin..not only is he a good friend but he also seems like a man of faith which in turn makes you a stronger person when you are down on will power and want to use some choice words to express your frustrations...and he's a heck of a woodsman, out there shearing trees and tops like he's been doing it for 100 years..stay blessed.
Note to self Never ever let Hank borrow any of my equipment
Hank, I hate to say it, but your inexperience as an excavator operator shows Calvin is crazy for being that close to you while you were working at getting it unstuck. With that said, the only way you get better is to try and practice. Every day is an opportunity to learn and grow!
Yea that was kinda hard to watch
Need more people out there like that Calvin fella. Hard to find good neighbors like that nowadays!
WILLY would never put himself in a situation like that, that’s why you’ll always be Willys helper
Hit dat ball Willy....
Great job, it made me tired just watching you guys getting it out in the humid hot Florida swamp weather.
Is this going to be a future episode 15 years down the road will it crank? Been sitting in this swamp for 15 years!! 🤣🤣
No wonder Gina has her own channel, as she wants no affiliation with this action😂
I'm honestly sitting here wondering why and how the machine got back there to start with! It may be a good idea, but definitely poor implementation! Lol
You learned a lot, no doubt about it! Lol
He obviously did it on purpose for our entertainment
That was a mess. Glad you and Calvin were able to get it out.
Hank, I believe if you had more seat time you could have gotten that thing out by your self. You would have known how to spin the tracks while the bucket lifts the front of the tracks. You would know to take those trees and load them across the tracks. You figured that one out eventually. I do have a question, is that thing gas or diesel? IF diesel, you aren't doing it any favors by shutting it down and starting it up all the time. Just leave it running. Good Job and you have a great neighbor!
Yeah that was painful to watch
I'm very impressed how you got that machine back there in the first place without using the trees as mud mats
William I asked myself that same question. 🤣🤣🤣
Neighbors like Calvin are good to have!
You picked a heck of a place to tighten your tracks! Tractor Hard! 🚜💪!
You got that right!
Attaching the chain to the end of the boom is going to pull whichever way you are pointing. Tie the chain to track frame and then use the boom to help it slide over the stumps and help it pull the machine forward. Really cool though and y’all did a great job. Love this channel it’s allways interesting 😂
Just a thought every time you sink that bucket up in front of you you're just making a deeper hole extend the boom out as far as you can hook a chain around the bottom of a tree hook the chain to the boom and pull yourself out or lay logs crossways and ride on top them until your out, and you need to get you some rail road ties lay them sideways and bridge yourself out
Hank, I’m beginning to think I’d be scared just to ride into town with you, what was you intentions to start with, lol !
You got to use your pan controls and foot controls at the same time with the tracks to get yourself out
Lol he is learning hard way
I say this. You did a great job getting it stuck. LOL! You don't do anything halfway. Calvan is a good friend.
Calvin is a good neighbor and even a better man and friend, your lucky Hank to have Calvin living beside you and don’t go back in there again.
Great teamwork getting that thing out of there. 1) @RonPratt would say there are many different ways to get the finish. You choose the path. 2) You might lose Wally in the swamp! 3) This looks like a job for Chris @Letsdig18!
I hope you bought Calvin a new car. He deserves more that a bottle of water. Thats a good guy, there.
A trick to putting tracks back on is sprocket first then you can use the machine to put the track on the front idler.
No gold in the world is worth good friends. Calvin is a true friend 👍 god bless 🙏
How did you and Wiley meet? I'm sure you've been asked this a thousand times.
We enjoy watching you both!

@@HamiltonvilleFarmbuying adjustable wrenches? Hahaha
Looks like you need to hang onto one of those skidders that you rescue. That'd pull you right out.
That stuck put up a fight. Hank, you guys worked hard getting that machine out. Thanks for sharing, buddy 👍
Calvin is a great friend and neighbor!
As a operating engineer it hurt to watch so I clicked the thumbs up and advanced it
Great neighbor. God bless Calvin and you all...
Hank, you owe your neighbor a steak dinner.
It was painful watching you operate that mini.🤣
roger that!
Don’t think I’m hating on you because I’m not. You got it out, but I’m just trying to help you and let you see that there’s better ways and safer ways to get equipment out like that. Especially when another person is around you and the equipment.
I think wily did miss this rescue adventure 😁😁👌👏👍
Great job, maybe you should have Calvin on more often.
You brought a hole new meaning to getting stuck to the plate ,lol
after all that work your neighbor will have earned one of those grease guns AND a lunch lol
Dang Hank!! You sure did a heck of a job getting that mini stuck!! 😂
You got a great neighbor! How blessed are you?
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable.
Now do not take this wrong.
Stay I repeat stay out of the swamp!!!!!!!
That equipment is too small for that work.
You need to bring in some big I repeat big equipment to make your road or whatever you want to do.
Florida ground is bottomless. I do not what you want to do there but get big equipment operators and let them do it.
Oh my Hank. You need a counseling session-ha!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to Calvin for his help.
Hank-stay out of the swamp.
You take care and be safe.
Thanks for everything.
The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.
Back up . Fill the hole with dirt pack it down with bucket add dirt as needed and pack.
This is like watching a cat trying to catch a fish with a piece of glass between them
It's at this moment I realized I'm never venturing into the swamp.... Fantastic intro Hank / the head cams were a little too shaky. Cheers 👍😁
I didn't know if you guys were ever going to get that thing out. It was STUCK!
Looks like Calvin got the short end of that deal! Your lucky he was around to help you out.👍
from what I see, that was by no means stuck, the operator ran out of talent.
Kinda what I said many times in the video. Thanks for putting in the comment section too.
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Its just a matter of learning to use your hands and feet at the same time. We have all been there bro. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Also when in tight spots like that the boom can pivot enough without moving the house to get around trees. I think its on the right side of the floor on that machine.
You always use your bucket to test suspicious ground ahead of excavator.
If bucket sinks so will tracks
I’ll bet the sight of that tractor at the end was the best thing you ever saw hahaha 😂. Really good job getting it out
'So I took the excavator to the Swamp'.... That just about says it all...!
What a mess!!!!!! What was you doing back in there with that thing anyway?
THANK GOD for good neighbors!!!!!
This reminds me of the time a M1 Abrams was stuck.
It took another M1 and 2 M88 recovery vehicles to pull it out.
Love your videos hank but my god will you please sharpen that saw!! 😂😂
Y’all got more patience than Job!
I found myself pushing my desk when you were pushing the tractor out. Just know, I helped.
What I want to know how the heck did you get yourself into that situation guess you didn't know when to stop great video thanks
it is essential to be able to use the foot drive pedals and pilot controls simultaneously when you have a machine hung. the lack there of made this much more difficult than need be. Pivot the house and undercarriage opposite to get the machine to turn
Same thing I told him. Gotta stop using them hands to operate the tracks. That’s what them feet are for. To get the tracks to rotate with or against the cab you gotta use your feet and use your hands to operate the book to get pressure off the tracks enough to rotate without throwing the tracks off. Or if in this situation to get the tracks out I’d the muddy hole and turn the way you want them to go.
What was you thinking, taking a heavy machine into the swamp. You sure do have good neighbors to wade in that muck you owe him a big steak dinner after that. As allways be safe. Peace.🇺🇸
That machine is very capable of operating in a swamp. That’s what their built to do. That’s why their smaller, lighter weight, to go in places a bigger one can’t. Just gotta be mindful of how not to sink up the door and how to operate it to get itself back out. I worked with the railroad (bridge gang) and we used a mini a little bigger than this and it stayed in swamps. Those mini’s are surprising at what they’re capable of.
great rescue!!!!
Thank you
FYI, next time you stick your excavator, retract the thumb especially while trying to claw your way out!!
Don't Be Hank.....😂
I thought I heard Calvin say the next time something like this happens call Wiley because I'll be at church praying
Hank…. Stay out the dang swamp! 😂
My anxiety watching this about got the best of me.
Wow hank love to see the black box on that hang up lol
Boy you are in a big pickle. Better call Wylie 😂
I sure hope you took Wiley and his family out for a really really nice dinner after y'all had several hours running through your showers. He really deserved a fine meal after all that heat, sweat and labor in the swamps of Florida during the hottest time of the year except for August.
Y'all done well, at one time I didn't know if you were going in deeper or coming out 👍👍👍
oh man that's some soup you're in there.
i am speechless. Calvin looks like a good guy but not much help and sure does not know how to run a saw... If you had gotten all the trees out of the way from the start it would have come right out... he left his stumps to high for the track to go over..you needed a little more help....still loved the video i could not laugh because i have been there before..
when you are trying to turn the tracks in a situation like that you should use boom to lift 1 track then try and turn the upper while driving the tracks however you want it to turn. when trying to traverse holes like that lay logs so they go side to side under machine and extend beyond the track width..
Oh my word. That's all I know to say. Glad y'all got them out.
Best video ever on Hamiltonville Farm 😂
You know it!

Could of watched a Heavy D sparks video on getting that excavator out. I know it's easy for me to sit and watch trying to give advice 😅
well done hanko! god bless you guys!
Calvin and wiley wont give up great ideas wow be safe guys only thing was wrong no joke and would have Calvin laugh
Sitting on the edge of your seat kinda video ! Surly that wasn’t the way you got in there with it or it wouldn’t have had such an issue coming out unless it flooded after you got in the area. Almost thought you were gonna just have to abandon it and then 20 years down the road we see a video on here of a grandson and maybe Wiley’s grandson recovering stuck excavator the grandparents abandoned in the swamp land ! 😊 Glad you and Calvin gotta her done though ! Have a Blessed Day my friends 🇺🇸TCB⚡️
It’s a shame you got off track. Call Andrew Camarata.
Man when you get things stuck you really get things stuck. Nice video just incase people get stuck they can see what to do.
Only one way to learn and that’s get out there and do it lol I bet you are a little more careful around wet ground and you use tree branches and logs underneath the machine to help from sinking in lol I’ve been there too buddy love watching thanks for sharing
Good to meet you Calvin!
So, I'm at the very beginning here, 7 minutes in.. I'm sure you'll explain it later Hank, but just looking at the predicament you're in here my friend, how.. what were you trying to accomplish going INTO the crap there? Generally when you're navigating swamp mess like that you start from the outside and clear your way in, dropping the trees down to build the road ahead of you so you DON'T get jammed in there like that, and you always have a road of logs behind you to back out on. Not sure your objective here the day you got stuck, but I KNOW with the help of a friend and neighbor you'll be just fine getting that machine back home!! Wow I can't wait to see how this goes!!
A good rule of thumb hank when clearing something you think you might have trouble with take your brush and build you a mat to walk on constantly
Hank needs to take a few lessons on how to operate a excavator
Yeah because you don’t learn by doing🙄
Great job guys Keep on keeping on God bless Stay safe
The way you should’ve done it was keep your hands on the joysticks operate the top with your hands, and operate the tracks with your feet, push your left pedal down with your heel and the right pedal down with your toe to make them go opposite directions and spin the whole bottom towards the way you were originally wanting to go. At the same time push down and turn the top to the right and the whole bottom would’ve spun sitting still. You kept saying you didn’t know which way the tracks were going or which was turning because you were backwards but the pedals that’s meant for your feet never change the directions or the sides that they operate. If you know what they do when the bucket is facing forwards with the blade then you know what they do when the bucket is backwards away from the blade they still operate the tracks the same exact way. All you need to do is remember that heel of foot is now “forwards” and toes are now “backwards” that’s it. Don’t try telling yourself that the tracks are backwards because they’re not the left pedal still operates the left track and the right pedal still operates the right track. Your issue was you kept taking your hands off the joysticks and using them to operate the tracks, when you get into a situation like that you need to use your feet for the tracks and keep your hands on the joysticks and idle the thing down. You could’ve accidentally but very easily killed your neighbor just from the idle being high all the time and you swinging to fast and hitting him. Gotta slow down. Use your brain and think about what your wanting the mini to do and make it do it. If it’s physically possible it’ll do it. I use to run one, one size bigger with s enclosed cab on the railroad. So I’ve had all kinds of situation happen just like you were in, I was a hand and foreman on the bridge department which means we built, repaired, and added on to railroad bridges. So a mini was crucial in what we did. Always around water or steep environments.
You have experience with excavators because you speak from lessons learned.
I told him the same thing at least ten times but he couldn't hear me from Kentucky to Florida... Lol I just got a Kubota KX040-4 stuck and unstuck on Thursday night and this being Saturday afternoon. It's fresh on my mind.
@@drufuss1981 yea I use to work for the railroad for 6 years on the bridge gang. Every crew had a mini “one size bigger than that one with a enclosed cab” and using a mini was literally how we would set pylons, dig out pylons, lift heavy steel all kinds of things, but they’re bad about throwing the tracks even when they’re tight, getting stuck wasn’t a issue because it could nearly always pull itself out, I’ve seen a mini do some crazy things, things a excavator shouldn’t be doing at all, we use to have to load it onto the rails drive it on the rails and then load it using itself to drive up on s trailer that’s built to ride on the rails, I’ve seen one go up a almost 90* hill by itself, just buy using the blade to keep it from sliding back down and using the bucket to pull itself up it tracks were pretty much useless. Luckily we never rolled one, but it was very possible they’re not like the bigger excavators they’re stable to an extent. But they will roll easily if you don’t know what your doing. Especially on a railroad track. Like in this situation he could’ve used stumps to pull hisself out instead of trying to dig the bucket in the mud, or instead of using the tractor use trees to wrap the chain around. And pull with the bucket, and man keeping that thing wide open all the time is dangerous, it’s very easy to hurt somebody with machinery because of blind spots and it being loud not being able to hear somebody hollering. But yea most of the stuff I learned was from experience and always thinking ahead the best you can. Keep people away from the machine while it’s being operated. Do the best you can to keep everybody safe and going back home that day. Luckily I never had to learn that lesson from actually hurting somebody. But yea lessons learned is right. Didn’t have a choice with the railroad because they would’ve been pissed if their brand new mini excavators woks be been rolled or destroyed.
“There’s a tube of grease in the glove box”
Wouldn’t that make it a grease box? 😂
Did anyone expect that tree to fall to the right? Vines?
Hank was fishing down in the swamp. Trying out the new pole. Caught a snag.
As Laurel and Hardy would say, what a fine mess you got us into. LOL
Lord have mercy Hank, looks like something I would do. That Florida quick sand don’t play nice.
I haven't seen somebody get that dirty since Wily disconnected that skidder driveline...lol 😅 Awesome job Hank and Calvin!! 👍👍👍
Hell of a mess. Probably hot as heck there too.
Hola amigo como están comprando que lindo me alegro de las cosa que hasen y lo que ver el lindo progreso del lugar me gusta le mando un abrazo alos dos Marcelo de argentina
Time to get that rented bulldozer in there. This way, we could have a 2 for 1 and then call Gina. For the rescue. But in all honesty, Celvin you're a hell of a neighbor. We see China turned off her phone
Hank what in the hell where you doing in there you can see how wet it is in there
Fishing for crawfish???😹😹😹
I can’t believe you got it in as far as you did! 😏 That is some messy soup that only Floridians and folks from Looser-Anna can comprehend!
Soft ground and a heavy machine on narrow tracks?
What could possibly go wrong 😂😂😂
Hank , I can't believe that with all of your expierence dealing with this equipment and stuck equipment that you would get your excavator stuck in a situation like this ! Just remember excavators don't float very well and water doesn't support weight !
You need to run it a lot more before you go in a place like that 😆
Hank, you almost got that sucker stuck!
