The Worst Excavator Recovery Of My Career

that's my second set of mats that I've moved this morning and I'm here to get the 220 now because we have a

recovery

to do today and the fun begins, let's see the mess we get okay, are you ready to see the mess? because here's the story, it says he was out there digging the pond and it crossed his mind, it's a rental machine and the

recovery

company hired us to get it out okay, that's the problem, she's in there pretty good. the good news is we can still get it running, the engine is not underwater, we can dig it out, take it to where it will drain, just dry the air intakes, she is buried, at least if I keep running we can get it. dug out and some mats underneath so okay so let's move on victims look you're the man you're the man just a smooth transition man and you gotta turn the other way second of all that He's doing pretty well all the time. for my second day, oh god, we have a lot of work ahead of us today, taking down Matt, this is our only way to get there, okay, I have 12 mats and I'm heading towards the problem that's starting to uh, attract some attention, but the good news is that we have a lot of help to do whatever it takes to get this out.

The main guy from the rental company is here and he is in charge of everything he said. Take that thing out. there pretty much whatever it takes, so even though he drove here, I'm playing it safe and building myself a mat path, uh, for the extra 10 minutes it takes, it's worth it not to end up like this, okay , let me go there for the machine and we'll get more videos justin your thoughts my thoughts you don't do it on camera you don't want to know my thoughts maybe you want to remove pond digging from the job description on the services website I can tell you Probably I put them on the do not rent list.

What would happen if you went out here for a walk? They don't even have records. They do not have. No, I do not know. From now on, the machine will continue to work. Oh, not really. full of water so I'm going to go over there and try to dig around and get the water out from around the fan and we can turn it on and put some mats under it with this and it should come out. I wish,

worst

case scenario, I would give you a shovel and you can go down there and someone has to shovel the taxi out so I can see the tracks too.

Yeah, it probably won't be right, you know, what I want. What you have to do is get this water out of here so that when you dig around it it doesn't flood into the machine and then like this, like that, there you have it, there's a map. Hey, I don't do anything good when the mats on top of the machine, well, I had a matte orientation, it's fine for the computer, like this, like this, like that, yeah, do that side, take the front, let the water drain and then maybe we can turn it on, lift it up and put some mats under it, yeah I'm.

I'm going to put a mat down where someone is going to start shoveling the cabin out, so now what I'm going to do is come over to this side, dig up all this mud and get it to a place where I can dig next to it, it's really not a bad material if I was digging a pond. I would be happy to work for these things. It just crossed their minds, literally. Alright. I'll film it once I get close to the machine so I don't waste memory on the camera. Now let's dig. Push some dirt behind it so when we pull the machine out it doesn't collapse and all that water floods between us, so I'll see if I can dig a little bit around the exhaust for when we go and push it down. don't get in the engine about to lift it up so it gets huge under the front, yo, that's a fucking mess, so they buried it pretty good, hey, can you start it up, lift the arm, okay, let me , uh, I guess they have to. check the machine, I don't know why they haven't done it yet, we have to get it working, pick it up and, by the way, move the arm where I can take it, like this, and the track, like that, yeah, it was cat control. one, I think I cut the key and turned it on for a second to get the machine to start fine, you can turn that way now, you can turn that way now, what I'm going to do is dig in front of the machine try to get some maps for the way down like that it's like that like that so it's not going down they're deeper so let me get you a map yeah, it's not going up the hill though I'm going to have to speed up the moment of truth unbridled so you go out and I'll take them out, wait once, like this, like this, he had maps that he just took out of them hmm, yeah, but if I start taking all that water out of them.

It's going to sprout here just leave them leave them I wouldn't worry about them hey we're going to leave them if I go and get them out all that water is going to sprout he said leave them I'm not I'm not worried about the recovery time hour and a half there are some happy people right there , they didn't even have to touch a chain guy, she was buried, we were lucky the thing still works and now we clean all the mats we brought and load. get up and get out of here, everyone seems to be super happy, so there it is everything recovered and working, nothing really broke, just a bent panel, well all said and done, it took about an hour and a half from the moment arrives.

Here to take it out onto dry land, nothing appears damaged other than a few bent panels. He got lucky and I think we need to dredge a pond now. I don't know if that panel was bent before, but another successful day.
