I've heard nothing runs like a deere. Didn't know they swim too.

Apparently the guys wife parked it and it rolled into the pond. Shes gonna have a lot of kissin up to do after that one i think

I'm reminded of the movie "Risky Business" in which the Porsche dealer asks Tom Cruise and his friends the question, "Who is the U-boat commander?"

Watching everyone standing around drinking beer reminds me of Gummint workers; think Congress.

That's because it's NOT THEIR TRACTOR...

Good thing they saw it go in. They might have thought it was stolen.
Since it was shut off, I would think you could have that back in service in under a day. Most of the time being spent buying fluids and filters.

Everytime someone puts one of these videos on here I spend about an hour watching all the other related videos that Youtube finds. Getting very time consuming.

That was dangerous as heck the way everyone was standing around a tight chain. Also, pulling a heavy load in reverse is the worst way to do it. A ring and pinion is made to take the load in the forward direction. Pulling in reverse is a good way to break your gears.

Plus you take all the weight off the rear wheels making them useless. If they would have turned that dodge around it would have pulled that tractor out with little to no trouble.

Gotta love it. A song about getting stuck.

It took a Chevy to get the job done.... I second the vote to turn the Dodge around. The side view pull angle would put a large downforce on the drive axle (Although these Rembrandts might have succeeded in putting the Dodge in the drink, too)....

Yes, none of these inDUHviduals will ever be mistaken for rocket scientists.

I am curious about the statement...have you read that somewhere so I can look it up? (ring-pinion part)

This is a good video on youtube. Somehow the guy managed to back his Kubota into a pond. I think maybe he was trying to cut the grass at the edge of the pond with the bushhog. Yes, there is a bush hog attached to the back of that tractor! That's probably what kept it from going in completely. I guarantee you he had to clean his britches out after he got back home!!

Yea, that's probably been my favorite picture for some time. Just the beginning makes you laugh. I'd like to hear his "manly" scream when he started sliding!

Do you think he'll buy a sickle bar mower before he tries to mow around his pond again?

If you just look at the profile of ring and pinion gears you can see that one side is stronger than the other.

If you google it you can find quite a bit of info on it.

Also, there are some threads about it on Ford Truck Enthusiasts .com.

I don't know how much difference it makes but if I am pulling someone out and my truck is on dry pavement I will always do it from the receiver hitch. If you are on dirt, I think the tires will slip before you do any real damage.

 

[N80]

Yep, all you have to do as look at a ring and pinion set and you can intuitively see that it is made to go in one direction most of the time.

Having said that, I've done a lot of pulling in reverse simply out of necessity. I think it would take an extreme situation or abuse to cause a failure....but pulling a tractor out of a pond might be just that sort of abuse.

Wonder what frightened that Deere into the water ?
