    Maybe. And there will likely need to be a little digging needed to get to the attachment points of the truck, but it's still straight forward.. Hook up a chain to a dozer and yank.

    He's stuck but not huge deal for a big dozer or experience wrecker operator.

    It happens.

    Way of life here in the upper MW w/ spring thaw taking township roads to/from farms. Not that bad as OP, but you're up to your wheels/steps easily, and sometimes multiple times per night. It sucks regardless.

    I’m not thinking it’s going to be that easy.
    My guess Is from what I have seen in similar situations is if you don’t break the suction the dozer will just sit there spinning it’s tracks.
    Depending on how deep the mud is ( and it looks quite deep) the dozer can also spin down till the mud is up to the belly pan and then the dozer will be stuck on it belly with just the tracks turning going no where.

    You drive the dozer out, drop the blade in and winch the truck.

    How would you like to have to make that call to your boss? "Um, yeah, I'm a little... stuck."

    It ain't real mud until it squirts out of the holes in yer wheels like a Playdoh machine, and when you get out on dry ground or some asphalt, there ain"t no air between yer tandems cuz theyre packed solid with mud.

    Wanna try tail-gaitin me then, smart guy?
