    Default Should have went fishing today! Bad day today!


    Been operating tractors sine I was 12 years old, never had this to happen, and boy did it happen FAST! Luckily I bailed off and barely got out off the way, I first though it was coming after me when I hit the ground, but the front bucket kept it from rolling all the way over, Thanks to littleman I am all right, He seen it coming and hollered at me, them little tractors are dangerous, top heavy on hills. If I had went fishing today then I wouldn't have been on that tractor.


    This picture was after we had pulled it up out of that hole to the right, I landed in the creek to the right. Haven't had this tractor that long, Too small for me, narrow wheel base, I believe I will stick with the bigger tractors. We have 4 tractors, now I think we have 1 too many!

    I had one about that size once and never felt comfortable on it because of that narrow wheel base like you said. Those things are just toys.

    I'm glad your alright!

    Glad you weren't hurt. I had a good friend who lost his life that way.

    I lived in Boiling Springs while attending GWC from '73-'77.

    Glad you are okay....I have got a friend that had one of those big Farmalls with the two narrow front wheels flip over on him...he had a roll bar...but it still messed him up, spending three months in the hospital.

    Whew! Those kinds of accidents do happen fast, and you just cant get out of the way fast enough! Glad you had lady luck on your side.
    Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

    Glad you're OK. I had a close call kinda like that once. It doesn't take but a second to get in real trouble.

    Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
    Teach a man to fish, he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
