Haha, my wife's uncle bought a 20T machine for his farm
walked it straight over to his pet bog, got 10 minutes in and got hopelessly bogged, ended up leaving it there and went home
came back to the farm next morning and it had sunk to over the engine cover
one new engine later... and it was dry enough to get into the bog with a wheel tractor by the time it was fitted and finished... and uncle has a good digger for his farm.

That’s where experience comes in on bad ground.
Main thing in a situation like that is not to panic most operators do and it gets in a worse predicament than it originally was.

Yes, most of us grew up on dozers and crawlers with decent tracks.... but EX200s arrive on slippers and he was super excited
it was stuck for about 2 months and all the neighbours gave him hell, he said he couldn't sleep at night and woke up feeling sick!
He told me that he'd put 8.3 hours on the old motor and about 8 of those were trying to get free

Put a rare plant on it. Nobody will be able to dig that up.

Who was the cheeky pansy that said I don’t use a shovel…
A good digger driver never uses a shovel
That’s what they tell themselves .
