not the best way to skid logs

They didn't show his wife or girlfriend passed out on the ground, probably she's in the house waiting to call 911.
 
Unbelievable. I'd like to think there was something on the rear to stop it from going all the way over because the guy doesn't seem to be worried.

Atleast he got his logs moved!
 
I think toward the end you can see a wheelie bar on the right side. Good way to die hooking chains that high though.
 
Not really. The stupid one is the one holding the camera and standing 10 feet from the front of the tractor. As it was the camera jockey damn near got run over.
The guy on the tractor knew what he was doing. He'd be dead if he didn't. That wasn't about luck.

One slip with that clutch or throttle, and it's over, no rops, logging arch would certainly help, each to their own.... you wanna take chances and end up under it, no problem, just glad it ain't me LOL !
 
A couple of bricks???
I don't think he had enough to stack on your arm

My old man would have beat me around the ears for doing something like that!
 
What would have been wrong with taking them out 1 at a time??????? I can see the headline, "Man dies in tractor roll over accicdent." Then within the article "We were pulling some logs out of the woods to cut up when the tractor flipped over backwards." No mention would be made of the raw stupidity and everyone would be forced to feel sorry for this guy.
 
LOL
When I was 17 I got so I could run our Allis B just about that good. Work the clutch just right and you can heave the front end forward a few inches each time - get you over that rough spot so you can go on. Dad was surprised a couple of times at the things I dragged off with that tractor. Didn't dare tell him how I did it.
I wanted a dirt bike like my cousins so I could go around doing wheelies like they did but he wouldn't let me have one. The Allis was the next best thing.
Thanks for the video and the chuckles.
 
Looking at the tractor, it looks like its been banged up and down pretty hard a few times. The tires should hook up with chains on them. It wouldn't take much for something to go horribly wrong doing that. I'd think you'd go through a lot of clutches too. Would have been much safer and faster to make 2 pulls for those logs. Dave
 
If had been his wife/girlfriend, I promise you I would have made his life so miserable he would never do it again.

But then, I don't have any worries about that. James has more sense in his little toenail than that guy does. And yeah, don't buy any used tractors or used anything from him.
 
Besides the fact this guy is simply nuts for trying this, he is doing a number on that machine. Clutch is toast if that keeps up, the engine probably wasn't receiving proper lubrication, and with a little bit of bad luck, he could break the front axle on the way down.

Like was mentioned before, don't let me buy a used machine of his.
