Good way to screw up a tractor.

If it's in Hanover is not Western MA, its up the road from me on the South Coast of MA. Most folks in Hanover have more money than brains, case in point.

is hitched a little high. bill

I found that using a pond scoop was the easiest way to slide logs, just get them a hair off the ground...this is suicide....

I pulled one man out from under because of the same mistake...
He was still sitting in the seat, feet still on the pedals (Ford 4000), Head crushed like a melon, by the gas tank..

It is not pretty..

An Ag engineering PHD and professor at MSU told us a story from when he was an "Expert Witness". It was out in California and they built a bunch of houses in what used to be a walnut grove. A young Air Traffic controller and his wife bought one of those houses to raise their daughter in. They didn't pay to have the tree stumps removed, he thought he could do it himself. He went into town to the local handy dandy rental yard and rented himself a tractor and chain. The rental yard had rigged up a safety loop mounted to the 3 point third link to hold the bush hogs and back blades up while driving down the road, it was kinda a big loop affair and they installed them because to many folks were dropping mowers, back blades, landscape rakes and plows onto the blacktop roads. Our young hero gets home and ties one end of his rented chain to a tree stump and the other to the safety loop and goes to work. They figure on about the third tug on the stump is when the tractor came over on him, to make matters worse the battery wasn't tied down like it should of been and the gas cap leaked so after the tractor turned over the battery contacted sheet metal and sparked, igniting the fuel leaking out of the gas tank. Dr Burkhardt told us they settled out of court so he didn't know who paid or how much. Shortly after that I converted my Farmall H to 12V and used a GM style side terminal battery so the posts would be less likely to hit the bottom of the fuel tank on a bad day.

No fenders, no pto shield and no rear work/warning light.
Did not know that the rockshaft was rated for linear draft loads.
The again the guy wears socks with sandals......Chrome straight pipe too......

Bet he messes his pants when that cast iron pops on the power trol.

Darwin had a theory about folks like that...........

Like the old man said " I don't think we should kill all the stupid people, just remove all the warnings and let nature take it's course"
