:cool2: :drink: :laughing: Thanks... :thumbsup:

So was the ROPS folded down when it happened?? I would have thought the steering column should have been protected....

How's the driver? Tractor doesn't look too bad. I guess the loader was also off the tractor at time of the accident (?).

Rops was not up like it should have been, loader was on but it's fine. Fellow who is driving it got out of there with some bruises

Aside from the steering wheel I only see a few minor cosmetic issues. It doesn't run but does turn over? Did the dealer say why they thought the engine was trashed? Bend a rod or something due to hydro locking while running during the rollover then drained the cylinder afterwards so it will turn over?

There is the obvious issue of the ROPS not being up. Quite a bit more relevant given it's only real purpose is to protect you in a rollover, which just happened.

I thought R4 were the turf tires? Did you mean swap them for the Ag (R1) tires?

No, they are two altogether different treads. R4 is what you see on a commercial loader; more robust, and with cleated treads although not as aggressive as found on an R1. While I believe that a turf tire will fit on the same rim as an R4 they are a lot less aggressive for less damage on surfaces such as turf. The tread is more diamond shaped and has no defined cleats. It's what you typically see on riding lawn mowers including the rears found on zero turns.

To the OP; that's got to suck, but at least nobody was hurt. As a TBN member's signature states, a serious accident is one which money can't fix.
I hope that the driver gets some training before he gets on the tractor again.

What makes you think engine is bad? Did it run a long time will upside down?

 

[jlsmith1000]

It ran for a couple minutes and then stalled out. I don't necessarily think it's bad, but the dealer indicated that it would have to be replaced/rebuilt and frankly, nobody at the club has the time or the where-withal to do it. There are a couple of us who could likely do it, but again, don't have the time.

Wouldn't it be something if it just got air in the fuel?

 

[jlsmith1000]

Well I hope that's all it is but I don't think so. One of our club members bought it for 5K. Here's hoping he got a **** of a good tractor for **** of a good price .
