That reminds me of a mess I saw back in the '80's. My neighbour had about 12 tons of manure on a spreader behind his new 85 hp International as he made his way down the highway to a field across the road. Somehow he managed to do a left turn into the path of a Volvo 240 as the lady tried to pass him. The impact on the back of the left front wheel snapped the block of the International, which then allowed the engine and front wheels to drop to the pavement. The cab, Bob, and the spreader kept going at the tractor's road speed until the laws of physics had taken their course. Another neighbour did the estimate for damage to the Volvo. Grille, bumper, no radiator. $900. The tractor? $20,000.
