Don't mess with a skid steer driver

[RedRocker]

On the news last nite was a story of a guy working his skid steer when he noticed somebody stealing stuff out of his truck. They jumped in what looked like an Explorer and he rammed them with a really nice tooth bar. The couple bailed out the other side on foot empty handed I think. Too bad it was a stolen car, but the holes in the side must have been a shock to the thieves!
Too bad he didn't flip the thing, that would have slowed them down a bit.

That is one of the main reasons I bought my tooth bar.

Hmmm... Reason I bought a backhoe. Back the tractor up to the drivers door, reach over and pin the passenger door with the BH bucket.

Seriously though, could you imagine, a guy coming after you with his skidsteer. Talk about motivation to run!!!

Mornin Red,
Good story ! Better he didnt flip the vehicle over, the thieves may have sued him !
