Rough terrain crane vs all terrain on a muddy job site in Alabama last month

We had to set up in a field after three days of rain. The rough terrain with those big tires just sank right in after a few lifts. Company sent out an all terrain with the outriggers and it handled the soft ground way better. No spinning or digging in. Made me wonder if I should start pushing for all terrains more often on unstable sites even if the rental costs more. Anyone else been stuck in the mud with the wrong rig?

Makes me think how we always pick the wrong tool for the job until we're stuck.

Wrong tool for the job" - yep, been there. Switching to a basic spreadsheet saved me.
