Thats what you call whoops 
Thank god we don't have that problem here with soft swampy ground we have more concerns of rolling over going down the slopes
You can pretty much say that excavator is a parts machine now with the water in the engine and all the hydraulics.

There was one guy running a hoe in one of the swampy areas in this area wouldn't listen and walked a machine into a mushy area and down it went. The use of swamp pads work or help slightly and I don't mean wide tracks swamp pads are big squares built out of heavy timber for the machine to sit on.
Once a excavator sinks to the house no way you can dig or push yourself out most of the time more you wiggle deeper you get

It would have to be winched out if there was a solid anchor point near by. It may be a write off anyway. Hyundai aren't a real class machine and with water through everything it would be a massive job to clean it out.aussiedave said:

That guy is a brave man standing at the controls it wouldn't take much and the truck would probably swing. The truck must have lots of winching power if its lifting the wheels off the ground
That excavator he is yanking on looks like a 40,000lb machine (200Hitachi-690 deere) size machine.
