In this version of tug of war there are two contestants: excavator and driver vs. the mud.
Most of the time, driver and excavator win this game of tug of war…but sometimes, well, the mud wins. And the driver has to get his excavator unstuck, and face the boss’ wrath.
In reality, it’s not that easy to explain to your boss why the digger is stuck — again. So when this happens, humans tend to overreact and sometimes get a second machine battling the mud. Sometimes it’s successful, sometimes not.
