I see based on you plates and avitar you are from ND.

I live in Winnipeg Manitoba. Are you close to the Red River?

In the pic with the high clearance sprayer are you draining the water our before you pull it out.

Strange how it is reasonable dry land and then wet holes. Is there underground water flow or just low spots that I can't see from the pics?

 

Im 180 miles or so west of the Red River, yes they drain the water out first to make it lighter. We had a ton of rain last year, way above average, and we also had lots of snow and lots of rain this spring too. Thats high ground actually, but the ground is so saturated that the water table is very high, all the low spots are full of water and close to half of the land that is normally farmable is under water this year. We have lost many roads around the area due to them washing out from all the snow melt and spring rains.

 

Very awesome selection of pics! I do have a question though! Did they keep getting that flatbed stuck or was it in the same spot the whole time? It looked like it moved and then got stuck in a different spot but I could be wrong. Crazy how deep it got too!

yea they got it stuck in about 3 or 4 spots, its a winch truck so i kept pulling itself out by being hooked on that 4 wheel drive tractor, but it just kept sinking. Its usually what they use to pull stuff out when it gets stuck, winch is very handy, but it didnt work this time, then they tried the track hoe, which didnt work either so they had to go get the big winch dozer but it kept sliding backwards instead of pulling out the sprayer so they had to use the track hoe as an anchor and stick the bucket into the ground about 6 feet and chain it to the dozer and then winch on the sprayer, it was quite the operation, lol! There are 3-4 foot deep tracks everywhere out there cause everything but the dozer kept getting stuck.
