Wonder how much that cost? Insurance cover it maybe?
A professionally done video of the recovery of a 30ton forestry excavator.
Impressive operation though, very professional.

If that's a professionally done video, my dick's a bloater! It was obviously done by some spotty adolescent with an attention deficit disorder - absolutely unwatchable

Ok, maybe professional was the wrong word, they hired someone to make a video, and I thought it looked like they made a decent job of it.If that's a professionally done video, my dick's a bloater!

It looks like the earth slipped away from the rock, don't know the full story, only really guessing.the forestry lads know how to bog kit but i wounder what caused it to slid off the landing at the top, ps who ever did the guarding did a good job
It would need to be insurance, the hourly rate for all the men and gear would be frightening! I'd imagine it would be more than the value of the machine anyway....Wonder how much that cost? Insurance cover it maybe?

It looked like they did have it running, it appeared to be pushing itself back up the hill, with the winches helping it. Then it got itself onto the lorry at the end. Machine appeared fairly un damaged.To be realistically though unless the machine had been running on its side and seized then the excavator could of righted it and it would of tracked out then.
I didn’t see the end then where it was loaded. We won’t go into detail of using two excavators chained together to get up a hill, one holds the other while it re positions the boom and bucket.......
Was the doosan damaged at all ?Okay dokay,
The real story is...
The digger based harvester landed at the bottom of the hill operatorless, he was building a skyline winch tree landing area when the saturated ground gave way under the weight of the machine and the repeated constant tracking back n forth in the one area, as soon as he felt it slide he jumped clear and watch it disappear down the hill, ground was/is a thin mix of peat and red clay on top of rock, the hill side is probably between 40° and 60° slope.
Recover; Cat digger was winched down the hill by the wrecker, to create a smoother track for the extraction of the harvester, then once the digger was pulled level it as left for a day for oil levels to settle and mechanic to check over before initial start up, then the wrecker pulled the Cat back up then the harvester head was removed from the Daewoo sorry Doosan and winched up, then the Doosan was recovered as in the video. The recovery firm made the film, and I personally wouldn't use the word professional and them in the same sentence either...
2 broken windows and a side door panel bent.Was the doosan damaged at all ?
In the grand scheme of it you’d take that2 broken windows and a side door panel bent.

Teagle used to recommend that you put some grease on the hook when using their trailers.It reduces it - as it lessens the metal on metal contact - any particles of steel are in suspension in the oil or grease which provides a film buffer.
The oil or grease may attract other contaminants depending on the ground conditions - but they should be less hard than the steel.
Hardened Steel - 7.5 to 8 on Moh hardness scale
Granite/Quartz - 7 hardness
General road crap - less than 7 unless you are driving over powdered diamonds or silicon carbide etc
My 2p worth.
As long as you don’t suffer from epilepsy although you may do after watching itBe good to watch video if Any one canput it up so us none savvy people could watch it
With the weight, pressure and repetitive motion, the grease seems to disperse fast especially when the eye is new.Teagle used to recommend that you put some grease on the hook when using their trailers.
