I don't have a copy of the photo here, but my Dad could be added to these, he was combining in a field one time that has a coulee running along side... hopper was full and he was right along the edge and got too close and over he went.... my brother was just pulling up with the truck to unload and he could only watch, luckily the coulee wasn't too deep and Dad was just banged up a bit, the combine was a right off though :oops:
 
It rolled off the flatbed behind it and literally folded the loader then tires and motor underneath on the way down. Wouldn't make your day.
 
Couple of weeks ago on my commute home from work a escavator had went off the side of an incline and ended up with the tracks up. The guy was lucky just a bashed up head. The escavator looked rougher then what they said the driver was.
 
I know a couple of guys from New York who would just love those pics for their Farm Medic course. As in what you might run into on a farm.

Are you sure? That seems impossible if you consider that the tractor would in effect be going backwards when it landed. The story I heard was that it was pulling that trailer and the loader bucket dug into the ground and the tractor drove over it. I heard the driver either didn't make it or was pretty seriously hurt. I would like to know the true story on it for sure though.

I wonder if the person in the hoe with only the stick and bucket sticking out of the ice made it out alive?

Thanks for the pics Yanuck. Makes me feel better about the way calving is going :wink:

If you look the gooseneck is right behind the tractor so the way it looks to me is it was in fact pulling the trailer.
 
I stand corrected. Still wouldn't make your day and I do have first had knowledge of doing stupid stuff. I wouldn't get three tractors stuck in the same lake though. The one with the power line scares me quite a bit, if you forgot to note the tower on the GPS it could happen pretty easy. The hoe in the dugout makes be think of the kids movie Toy Story with the neighbor kid ripping off arms of the toys. At least the operator should have been able to climb the boom to get rescued.
 
You can never be too careful. Accidents happen. Fifteen years ago I was plowing with Ford 8600 and John Deere 145 5 bottom on a sidehill. Came to the end and turned and raised hydralics at the same time. Plow must have caught rock or root and in a split second I was flipped over backwards. Plow kept me from going over completely. I was looking at the sky. I climbed out and went to the nieghbors..we got his tractor and a log chain and pulled the front end of the 8600 down. Tractor started and I drove home. Only damage was broke rear cab window and dented back of cab. Could have been worse.
 
Almost had a powerline situation last fall.Was planting a dry land mix back in October,was lined out just to the side of the lay of the poles,looked back at the range planter i was using to see if i was still getting good rate outta' the thing/it kept clogging up, and must have turned the wheel as i did so.Well when i turned back around i was lining out right toward a pole!Luckily i was just far enough away to do some quick and fancy manuvering,or i might be on that set of pics! :lol: :lol: :P
