L-C Applicators owner, Dan Cole, said he doesn't ever remember getting equipment stuck in the past, but with this being the "wettest year that anyone can remember on record," there is a first time for everything. Even with "floater tires" on, the spray rig hit a wet spot and sunk while spraying in LaCrosse. It took a track hoe, a wheel tractor and "a whole bunch of chain" to set the sprayer free from the mud that sucked it under, Cole said.
