Serious Oh-Sh*t Moment

Posted on Facebook from Brian Mac, Outside Sales Representative at
Agricon Equipment Company to Kubota Tractors & Equipment

"So we sold a customer a SSV75 and he wanted it to have tracks over the tires
a disc mulcher, and a heavy duty winch mount built on the back for his 20k lb
winch. So it took us a few weeks to get everything ordered, built and installed.
We delivered the machine Friday afternoon. The machine wasnt on the ground
for 30 minutes before he did this!!"

Got a bit a 'Spring fever' did he ??
Can we assume the brand new winch is busted ???
That 3/4" rope (?) don't look too strong.....
Curious, I can't see any 'cleats' on the tracks so HOW do you get ANY traction ?

Just goes to prove you can stick anything if ya aint payin attention

Looks like quicksand. Under cover like that it can grab you before you know it.

Oh well. Ain't new no more...

WOW!

Some people should not own or operate equipment!

There is no way that the winch he used was a 20K winch!

 

[hope to float]

He was right about needing a winch though

We had this happen a couple months ago in a bean field on an install I was working on.

Poor guy was stuck in the machine for about 20 minutes till we could remove the door hinges. There was standing water off and on across the field.

I had just walked through there about 1 ft from the back of the skidsteer in a pair of muck boots. Water was about 6" deep.

Apparently it dropped off I would have been grumpy if I had found that on foot. [emoji14]
