SIMON. Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I guess that's the trouble when you send a girls tractor to do a man's job : : that front end does seem to be very heavily ballasted :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I can't believe the wieghts stayed on!! I have heard dozens of stories of wafer wieghts jumping off on the road. . . this guy go's and sausage rolls it down a hill and thye don't move an inch!! Even the cab glass is ok Looks nasty but has to be a testament to todays ssafety guidlines to have a cab stand up to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 marc she needs a bit more than a cab etc, looks like a right off best place for a massey ofcourse hope the driver was ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 If that was in NZ they would have her back together and in use again in no time. They'll repair anything over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 its quite impresive that even the glass all looks intact as well ,despite being rolled, yet catch a brach with the door open and they go bang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi6920 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 If that was in NZ they would have her back together and in use again in no time. They'll repair anything over there. Sorry tris, thats only the other shade of red.... Damn thats a decent size hill, very easy to do things like this, reminds me of dads old mate who ran fords breaking in steep hill country with huge disc sets, he ran a ford 6610 turboed up dualed up and he rolled the old girl down the hill, flew into 3 bits, cab was hardly damaged, he was ok no serious injorys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Reminiscent of the safety film from the 60s of the 135 and vicon spreader that they had to load up with front weights to get it to roll on a hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughmaster Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Glad I'm not the only one that thinks it was probably the excessive front ballast that probably pulled her over. It would raise the centre of gravity quite a bit. The way the cab has held up is impressive - I wonder how some other makes would have withstood that?

Lord Ferguson Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 you can see the trouble... not enough weight up front :o Poor old girl... Hence my comment... looks to me like he was asking for that to happen... must have well over 1.5t on that old girl up front - not only that.... poor old axle too :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
