    One Modified Tractor

    I can not help but feel that there was a reaction to the driver's action was the cause of this. I the trailer played a big roll

    whats your thoughts?

    I'm surprised it chewed itself up like that!

    I guess the front drive wheels took off, over the bucket and......... yeah

    I have never seen a 4WD tractor do that!

    its like a cartoon toy.
    would you think speeding and the bucket dug in causing the trailer to shorten the tractor somewhat.
    so funny, be hard to explain to the boss,

    The bucket must of dug in well.
    Surprised the pilot didnt go thru the window.
    Thats a pretty heavy trailer it was towing,most likely to be unbraked.

    • Too much speed
    • bucket to low, caught and dug in.
    • weight of the trailer and momentum did all the rest.


    Pretty much what LandyAndy suggests.

    Driver Error!

    It looks like a trailer off a road train (semi trailer on a dog) and I bet that the full air brakes on the trailer have been disabled. Addit; I guess it's in the US - no front number plates on the Ford ute and the person talking to the LH window making it LHD. Only a guess though!

    No manufacturer name on the tractor? Has it been blanked out?

    I suspect the tractor is an "asian deluxe"

    Agreed, but not so much as the bucket too low but traveling with it in the scooping postion (tilted forwards about 30 degrees lower than level) so it could grab, if it was running in the haul postion (tilted right back) it would have made lots of pretty sparks but thats about it.

    the trailer appears to be a standard semi on a single axle dolly converter thats been bodged to suit the tractor.

    Too right Dave - just couldn't think of the "converter dolly" term when I made the post and you're correct about the rotation of the bucket.

    As long as you disabled/disconnected the brakes on the trailer and converter dolly there would be not very many other mods needed. Although they seem to have dropped down the ring on the dolly "A" frame.

    The cab seems to be pretty much intact although thrown around quite a lot. Bet the driver didn't have a seat belt!

    I have seen somthing similar happen to a Leopard Dozzer Tank. They have two travel pins that need to be in place while at speed, however they wernt and they folded the blade under to the third road wheel at 50odd kay. Put the turret crew in hospital. 50 to 0 in 3 metres. Drove the barrel in too.
