That's impressive Dirge, that tractor isn't going anywhere.

How the heck does that happen? Its like the front was grabbed by omega supreme and twisted by hand.

How the hell did you do that?

such is what happens when you have unequal pressure in your front tyres and one blows out while travelling at 25 mph. if you think a blow out in a car is bad this is worse cause you have over 20 tonnes traveling at 20 mph and it goes exactly where it wants to in this case directly in to an unsuspecting tree
P.S. no moron drivers ( namely me ) were harmed during the making of this picture

Sorry if this question has been asked before dirge, but what do you grow??, the blow out looks a bit like potatoes or is that just the nuts from he tree?, but in the back ground of the solo bog looks more like a corn or maize but it looks to wet for those.

Ah, maybe i should have been clearer
for those of you who dont know me i am a farm contractor, i go to many different types of farm driving tractors some are livestock and some are arable the blow out is actualy grass silage and the nuts and such are from the trees
it has been a very wet summer here and as such the ground has been sticky to say the least hence getting stuck but you are right it is corn.

Just remember one of the 'golden rules', if it looks like its going to fall it probably is, and if it probably is then get out the way and don't try and catch it!Hound wrote:No wonder farming is so dangerous!

he was lucky that it didnt take the tractor with it
lets be serious for a moment
its not nice being sat in a tractor when it rolls over
i speak from experiance
THESE MACHINES CAN KILL IF NOT USED PROPERLY ALL OF THE PICS YOU HAVE SEEN AND WILL SEE THE DRIVERS WALKED AWAY
NOT EVERYONE IS SO LUCKY
i have had my fair share of VERY close calls and i have been doing this job for 15 years even the professionals make mistakes.
* back to the laughing at this picture *
its one way to unload the trailer but he could have at least taken it to the silage clamp first

better yet just stay well clear of working machineryif it looks like its going to fall it probably is, and if it probably is then get out the way and don't try and catch it!

that tractor being a fendt will have been able to just reverse off the cars and carry on
Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2009 12:11 pm
I am guessing the two cars were parked, there's no white tape round it or anything. At least I hope so anyhow...

It terrified me to see that happen and all he suffered was a knock on the noggin and a broken hand. But the tractor was a complete write off.its not nice being sat in a tractor when it rolls over
