Stuck in the mud...Farm job gone wrong

What happens here

The large, heavy metal culvert pipe is positioned at the top of the gully. The operator uses the front of the skid steer's bucket to push the pipe down the incline and into the excavated bed. This is a delicate maneuver given the pipe's weight (approximately 6,000 lbs) and the slippery, muddy conditions, requiring careful control of the skid steer to prevent the pipe from rolling uncontrollably or the machinery from getting stuck.

Goal: Accurately place the culvert pipe in the prepared gully.
