Man you would be surprised at how quickly that can happen on certain ground. If I knew how to post pics, I would show an 80k pound excavator with only the top 1’ of the cab showing on a subdivision in Wbr, within the last 6 months. On dirt that had been ran across by multiple machines, finally gave way.

I’ve done that with a 850 bushel cart full of rice behind me before

My wife’s uncle stuck one in a pond a few years back. He decided to bushhog a ridge during a drought in the fall. Needless to say the ground underneath couldn’t support his tractor and he quickly was up to the seat. You can still see the ruts when the water drops in the summer.

We were working a lease north of Houston a few years ago, backed up to a feeder in the ranger, back tires dude fine all of a sudden the front tires sunk, then the back tires, all the way to the frame. I’ve always thought quicksand was in the movies, but if the frame of the ranger would not stopped the bike I don’t know where it would have stopped. It was pretty wild.

Looking at the small amount of dirt built up around the tires, I would think it sunk in really soft ground.

Doesn't even look real. If the front sank first, how is the rest even possible?

Can't be easy to get either one of the 2 tractors in those pics out of that situation. Getting a machine to it would be risking getting another machine stuck.

Should have been around last years cane harvest.

That was all too common a sight.

A lot of cropland in the south Delta is still under floodwater or just recently was drained off. I’d want to location of that tractor pic.

About 2 or 3 tire rotations in gumbo will do that in a hurry

That sure is some rich looking soil piled up behind the back tires.

why are there no tire tracks in front of or behind it?

Even better question is why would someone go through the trouble of photoshopping something like this that actually does happen IRL?

Doesn’t really look like a tractor tire lug pattern. Center hub doesn’t look right either.

Vibration leads to liquefaction.
