This trick for clearing clogs saved me a full shift yesterday

I got fed up with my cutterhead jamming every time I hit that heavy clay near the riverbed. After three years of waiting for the backup to clear, I tried reversing the pump rotation for 30 seconds before engaging the cutter. Has anyone else found a specific sequence that works better than just ramming through the mud?

Wait, you waited three years for a backup to clear?

Three years is rookie numbers if it's a family heirloom drive with irreplaceable stuff on it lol. Could be they had to wait for the right recovery tech or someone to finally dig out a compatible ancient SATA controller.
