Man Flips Tractor
If you want to view the article, I posted it above. This is the accident that I posted about in a thread in the Kubota forum. Maybe I should post this there, too, seeing the article said he was on a Kubota. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif He was mowing tall grass near a creekbank when the tractor flipped. It rolled partially into the creek and pinned the guy underneath.
I just wonder how big and old the machine was. It should have had a ROPS and seatbelt. I guess if it were a gray market tractor, that would eliminate that stuff. If he weren't using them either, that would do it too.
When I heard the page on the scanner about the accident, my first thought was he's a gonner. It was nice to hear he survived. So, everyone, please use your ROPS and belts. They don't put them on their for the good looks. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif I would hate to hear about something like this happening to someone here on the boards. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
