Yeah, I once changed out the Deutz engine in a Poclain excavator that had been sunk in the mud 'til they flipped off the cooling fan belts and melted the heads. They had to bring out a dragline and reroute the creek and wait nearly a month for the mud to dry. Had to lay crane mats to get the service truck out to it.
Another good one was a kid stuck a D9G in wet sand. I let it sit for 2 days and used the blade and ripper to lift it out of the hole and let him shovel sand under the tracks. Walked her right out and he knew when to stop after that.
