The footage is short and cuts off near the end (battery died), but it's a genuine hands-on look at trench-digging mishaps and recovery technique for owners doing their own excavation work.

Hook a chain behind the dropped tire and use a truck to pull it out, while positioning the backhoe on the opposite side to keep the tractor from tipping into the trench.
The backhoe was positioned on one side because pulling the tire would cause the outrigger to drop into the trench, so the backhoe kept the whole tractor from falling in.
Yes, there was a little damage to the trench that needed to be fixed with a shovel before getting back to the digging task.
