 My old chief, the engineer I worked under for a few years had a saying,
"God looks out for fools, drunks and sailors". Well today someone saved my backside. Went to pull out of the job, had grand intentions of hauling till dark and trying to get moved off this job, using every inch of daylight with only 4 days off.
And this is what happened. 

 
Went to get up the hill, couldnt make it thru the grease, backed down and got sucked off into the soft stuff. I wont post the bad pictures, but lets just say air under the axles is an understatement. Didnt hurt anything. I lucked out on this one. Had the dozer hooked to the nose and the 450C hooked to the back while I carefully unloaded it and then got yanked up the road with the dozer. 

 
The wife took that while she sat on the slasher, get everything out by the road hopefully tomorrow or wednesday. 

 
Finished slashing everything for the job, had 60-70 trees left on the header. Makes a pile of sawdust.  :D

No  never get days like that  ;D ;D just kidding. Never had time to take pictures when i am in a situation like that.  My neighbors always tell me that I don't have enough tractor for what I am doing.  Hate to admit that they're not always wrong. :) At least you got away with no damage just some lost time.  :)
Make sure you know how to fall properly when you fall and as to not hurt anyone around you.
Also remember, it's not the fall what hurts, its the sudden stop. !!

Nothing worse then getting stuck and have to unload and then have it go down hill from there. Makes us all appreciate the good days  :).

I do that with the forwarder quite often, but never with a truck :o
