Dad once planted his HD-10 crawler tractor and scraper up to the top of the
tracks. The front tires on the scraper were gone too. He got similarly
creative and chained 3' pieces of railroad tie onto the tracks with some old
pieces of log chain he had. He was able to walk it up out of that hole
enough to unhitch the scraper and pull it out from a little different angle.


You don't want to know what it did to those pieces of chain. :)

Yes, getting your largest, heaviest equipment buried isn't going to make
your day.
