Anyone Seen My Trac Hoe???

[GarGuy]

LOL! I saw this off 103 between Lufkin and Ratcliff yesterday. There were three trucks, a back hoe, a dozer, and that trac hoe out there. It looked like a few fellows went mudding in their trucks and it escalated from there. That trac hoe GONE!

Sucks to be them...

It can probably be recovered without permanent damage at that point

[Scoobyh]

[bfree]

Bad day

I hope so. The engine compartment was completely under the mud and it had closed in over it. Definately have to be dug out. There was a dozer stuck to the left as well.

Somebody should have told them the ground gets wet after a lot of rain.

[Tmag]

Not much forethought given in those plans. Glad I don't own any of that equipment.

LOL! I guess they forgot the drought was over.

Hope the circuit board/s didn't get wet. I know on some of the larger models it can cost thousands to replace a certain electronic part if it gets damaged from moisture.

Only the top of the cab and the boom were visible.

My dad once sunk a backhoe to the steering wheel years ago. They hit a small sink hole and it swallowed it up. They left it there until it dried out enought to get another backhoe and dig it out. Luckily it started right up.

I looked at the picture closer, may be they turned it off before it sucked mud and water into the engine

What I thought was the top of the engine compartment is the base of the arm when I looked closer

Hey Garguy next time you come to Lufkin holler at me. I will buy you lunch. I would like to meet you. That looks like that piece of property between those big hills on 103. 366-2620
