The second worst call to get at work............

[vetteman]

Well about 9:20 I got a call from my wife while I was at work...... " honey I tipped your tractor over" First off shes OK just a very hurt ego! I knew she was ok because she called me from home not the hospital. So I told my employees Ill be back in a couple of hrs. Off I go to home , I get there and she has my Super duty hooked to it and tried to right it to no avail. She had it right over on its side!!!!!!!!! She started crying and telling me how sorry she was, well I looked the situation overand told her to go see "the judge" hes a neighbor who is the judge in town, he has a Case/IH about 125 hp he came down and up righted it for a mere $20 , he is a really nice guy even when my wife got a sppeding ticket with my Corvette and had to appear before him. So everything is ok with tractor checking all fluids toinght and changing the oil everything should be OK no damage at all. Well the moral to the story is NEVER I mean NEVER drive a tractor with a full bucketALL the way in the air especially when you are going over a mound of dirt!!!!!!

Glad to hear your wife is safe . On the other hand you are in a wonderful position now . You couldn't do anything wrong now in your wife's eyes . Go quickly and buy some great attachment for the tractor before she comes to her complete senses and tells you No way . /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Again, I am happy your wife is ok .I couldn't live without my little honey by my side /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif .

Glad to hear she (and the tractor) are OK.

The only time you should have a full bucket up in the air that high is when you're loading a truck.

How many judges do you guys have in that little town??? There's another judge about 2 miles down the road (on Carpenter Rd).

Well she is a little sore right now she did roll out of the way when it tipped I did think about going and buying somethingI can buy whatever I want for the tractor anytime but she has been a little negative about me buying a mini excavator but .....not no more.... The judge is Bill Montgomery he lives on Center road right across from channel 7 tv tower sincerely a real nice guy. Also the tractor dealer had just pulled in his driveway right behind my wife he was sending in for its 200 hr service , he told the driver hed have to wait a few minutes to pick the tractor up.

Since everyone is ok, what about some pictures? Would have been great to see the tractor recovery effort.

Thanks Frank, Yes she is OK. And yes she was going 63 in a 55 about a mile from home in the "arrest me red Corvette " She is a little sore tonight and scratched up she rolled through some pricker bushesbu that was better than being pinned.Other than being sore I know the worst part was calling me and telling me, And when I got here to see what had happened did she start crying,I know for sure she is going to be much more careful from now on. When I can figure out or get someone to help me Ill post the pictures I took.

I'm glad to hear that your wife is alright. Mine won't even sit on my tractor - even if it's not running...

When you say "she rolled", are you saying that she did not have her seatbelt on? It sounds like when it started to go over, she must have bailed out - would have been safer to stay in the seat, right?
