D-8 drove out onto an old pond that had been dry for years and when it broke through the crust it became stuck in place sitting on the belly pan. School bus passed by it every day. Took them almost 2 weeks to dig it out with a little D-4. D-4 started on the edge and took little bites of the mud always staying on the hard pan underneath the mud. Once they had all the mud removed and the big cat was on semi solid ground they spent another week with a jackhammer and pressure washer getting the dried mud out of the tracks so that it could move again.

Ellie's Uncle back in the day as a blaster, would get calls to get dozers out of the mud. Usually stuck due to suction; he would put dynamite under the belly and break the suction!
