So the location is hard under the mud but the top is muck! The only thing I've seen done for this is to sweep it off and get down to the hard pan. Which I guess is maybe what y'all were trying to do. This might have been a good pad to use soil cementing on. Doubles the cost but you can come and go in any weather!

you dont want to scrape it down to much because if you do and it rains you got a swimmin pool. If we can get some sunshine it doesnt take long to stiffin up

Looks like a normal day in the oil patch to me . In my time in the PATCH if it was dry nothing was going on BUT let the monsoons set in Every producer wanted a location built a rig moved pits and water hauled and my dozers looked like that 24-7 . Ya learned how to reclam a location with mud and make it look like a golf course . Cleaning tracks sometimes was a four time a day event . And ya sure as hello would not load and haul a dozer with mud hanging off it or you were about to make new friends that had a big book of tickets and extra refills for there pens.

I takes an operator with a fine touch. For your trucks coming onto location, you're going to want to have the Cat equiped with mud tracks. Those short tracks won't pull or push a big frac truck or a tandem too well. I'd hate to be the one hammering iron in that stuff. Takes the starch out man in no time!

So is the well completed? Is that a polish rod I see? Are y'all setting a 'jack tomorrow in that case?

pulled many of frac trucks with a smaller cat then the one you see in the pic. Yes the mud can get on ones nerves some times, but if every one works together you can do alot.

actually if there would have been some hot sun out today, that clay dries quicker the more you work it. When I got there this morning most of the lease was under water. We got the pumps going and started to squeeze the water towards the pumps.

Is that Case hydrostatic? Looks like a For Sale sign on the front? Last year one of the machines used for cutting fire breaks was a new Case but apparently, the Hydrostat kept overheating? Have you had any problems like that? Take a track loader with narrow street pads and backhoe in the mud and you really appreciate why they make wide pad dozers.

At the mine i work at we had a 980 CAT and A D-9 stuck today. Do
you know what it takes to get them stuck and even more what it
takes to get them out? It was rough. We also got a brand new D-10
this afternoon. All nice and shiny. Give it a week and itll be all the
same
