Yikes!! What would you do to save the tractor from getting smashed?!

[dodge man]

Nice looking truck. If I was single, I might just drive out there to help you for a ride in it. Good luck on the tractor.

ok, so now you guys are getting a little bit weird :wink: I was married for 20+ years and have kinda given up on that scenario

The center post is laying on the ground now. It broke at ground level. The rear one has split vertically at the ground due to the torsion? They are all cemented in.

With the tree damage also, I'm betting the snow load plus high wind (micro burst) caused the failure.

Yep, I take care of things I like...truck, tractor, horses

Three days have passed. What is your plan?

 

[Scrambler82]

There are ways to do this, but the risks of hurting yourself is high and not something someone wants to tell you how they would do it because of possible injury and in turn responsibility.

See what the Insurance Company says, what they want you to do and will pay for AND you need it done asap to reduce further damage to the Tractor.

By the way, how's the snow, melting fast !

Playing phone-tag with insurance agent today. Her message said next step is getting an adjustor out here. Sure hope he (she) has 4x4 cuz there is m-u-d!!

I'm going to try to slop through the mud/driveway to see how Red is holding up. Will take more pics.

Thanks again folks

WooHoo!! I cowgirled-up and got Red to safety!!

How? The left side tires had been holding the carport weight and they got deflated just enough (maybe 2") for me to back Red out. IT WAS SCARIER THAN HECK!! But this old girl did it. Didn't know I could hold my breath for so long lol

I touched the sagging beam and it is soooo loose I think the slightest wind will topple the whole thing. I HAD to get Red out.

WooHoo!! I luv my tractor

I’m guessing the snow melted enough for the roof to spring up some.

Dude good luck on repairs. I like to live away from the crowd, but you are just a little to isolated for me.

 

[Jstpssng]

That's great news!!

“Dude”? I believe the proper salutation is “M’am”

 

[Old Gray Mare]

I知 guessing the snow melted enough for the roof to spring up some.

Or the ground thawed for the tires to sink a bit and they lost air.

Yes, it's a grand feeling to see Red safe

If the claim is denied or doesn't cover deductible, Red's gonna push/pull that carport apart
