Ouch!! I hope no one was hurt. That is gonna be $$$$ to fix.

Must have been wearing his seat belt, didnt see any 'face' imprints on the cab glass. I'll bet if he told his buddy ' here, hold my beer and watch this, I'm gonna park the whole tractor on top of the loader bucket ' his buddy wouldn't have believed him.
Looks like the Loader Bucket stopped in about 4 feet, pretty impressive that the loader arms dont look like a pretzil (sp?) . Must have had the bucket lip down to dig in like that. Have always been told to run down the road with the bucket rolled up, not down, just in case. Now I can see what happens.

I'd bet, by the amount of damage, the trailer was hooked to tractor. giving it extra force. If tractor wasn't attached ,it probably would have flipped forward. plowking

Whatever the circumstances surrounding the accident, I'd bet the operator doesn't repeat them anytime soon. That had to hurt.

A lesson to be learned. Keep your bucket in the curled position when not using it. Had the bucket been curled it would not have dug into the gravel road like a boat anchor.

Great post... this is one of those situations you hope to learn from someone else....well...not to wish injury to others....but you get the point...
Anyone know if the hydrolic failed or the guy somehow bumped the stick?

Wonder why it didn't flip over ?

Looks like the trailer behind the tractor was being used as a gooseneck and experienced "failure to adhere" to the ford pu. The gooseneck then dug into the gravel stopping the trailer and sliding the tractor off the front. Why didn't it flip? Anybody know what really happened?

Always wondered how to "split" a tractor to change the clutch !!!!
That's one cowboy that needs new Wranglers.

Honestly, I don't know the where it happened... However, the guy that sent it to me, works with me,, so perhaps I can get more specifics...
He is a farmer, so perhaps it is someone he knows..
I don't think it's IL simply because if you look at the cropped picture I attached.. No front license plate on the explorer, means that vehicle isn't licensed in IL..
I was hoping to blow up the pic and view the Super Duty's plate, but unfortutely, the pic isn't high enough resolution....
Any one else got any guesses.. White plate for trucks???????????

I think podagrower is right. If there was a operator in the tractor, he would have been injured or worse. I don't know why the tractor didn't land on the truck, when it came off. I wonder how fast he was going? Don't see any tow straps or chains laying in the road. Looks like tines in road under tractor, unlesss he had a impliment on trailer in front of tractor. plowking
