John Deere 2025 into the pond....

If you watch the video it sure looks like he started it up and drove it after it was pulled out.

Yes it appears he did.

Don't think engine got any water in it, but HST filler was definitely under....

Saw this on Youtube today. Apparently it happened about 3 days prior to me posting it. He was fortunate, no injury and the tractor seems to be ok.

One of the few times I would be glad I had an open station. Doing that in my cab tractor may have made it so I couldn't open the doors to escape!

The only way water could get into the Eng. is through the Intake. How deep did it sink? Try to start it up with the Air cleaner under water? That would be a good one!!

Oil dipstick is not waterproof seal.

Waters not deep enough and my Diesel Yanmar Screws in. Typical for a JD. model also. My old ford is a dip stick with a rain cap. So that may of happened.

Just in front of the starter you can see the cap. Been inside the starter before and It's water tight.

You can, but it scares the fish.

Scare the fish all you want, they can't leave the water.

Yep, he sunk that one pretty good!! I hope he got it flushed out and running again! Being a southern born and raised fellow here in the deep south, ice doesn't hardly get thick enough to walk on, let alone drive a 10k lb piece of equipment out on it. I could never risk doing something like that, it's just not in my genes lol!!!

The winters aren't as dependable now, but at one time it wasn't uncommon to build ice roads across lakes. To do it right you would pump water onto the ice, which would freeze and make a thinker road bed.
