Man rescued from underneath ditched tractor

This guy was very fortunate to have survived this. Not only did he survive, but he was able to walk to the ambulance. Someone was looking out for him today!

Hopefully, after he was checked out, he stopped on the way home to pick up a few lottery tickets.

I know it was a Deere tractor...any thoughts on which model?

The way the tractor is sitting perpedicular to the surrounding ground, where would the ROPS be?
Looks to me like there isn't one, not sure how he'd survived without it though?

Bottom looks awfully clean to be an old machine...but the front axle is 2WD and appears to have kingpins like an older machine would have.
Curious...

I guess they are known to roll easily???? Just couldn't resist!!!!

Only when guys from Nova Scotia operate 'em...

Its hard to tell on the model, I'm not used to seeing them upside down.

I was thinking a 70's vintage utility, probably no rops.

I hope he stopped and picked up a new pair of shorts.

His old one were probably field dressed.
