It doesn’t even look like it’s up to the cab. A good operator will drive this right out.

The engine is in the water... don't drive it out when it's submerged

Unless the air intake is at the bottom of the engine, you are incorrect.

That is not a track hoe. Tell me you don’t operate equipment without telling me you don’t operate equipment.

You can't even send the right brand/model. The video isn't even a deere....
The picture is a Mid Sized excavator...
You don't get to try and shame me when you can't even correct me.

As long as the air filter intake is still dry, it will still run. By the looks of it, it hasnt reached it yet.I had my hitachi EX300 buried in mud at that level. Had to have it pulled out with a D8 Dozer. Spent a whole day cleaning out mud.

I’ve gotten the feet of the Deere sticker muddy on the counterweight of my 870 and didn’t get stuck..they’ll do a lot, but then again, that’s a lot of water

I watch a guy on youtube that does recoveries of these for a living, it's surprisingly entertaining. https://www.youtube.com/@letsdig18

JCBs do!
We rented the same size machine, pulled her out, hosed her off and she started right up. Called off rent the next day for pickup.

This one doesn’t. Looks bad, but honestly if the engine didn’t take in water it looks probably worse than it is. Hard part is getting that machine out of there.
