Ted worked his tractor so hard that it laid down and took a nap!!

[PsRumors]

The slope doesn't look like enough to lay a tractor over. What happened?

Good time to hit some of them grease fittings:laughing:

In all seriousness though, glad he wasnt hurt. Looking forward to the story.

Ah, that's cute. Maybe it just wants it's belly tickled?!:laughing:

Peanut and the guys are going out to roll it back over and tickle the other side.:thumbsup:

Ted really did this to show you the underside of his ETA boxblade so you can compare his older design to the newer design with support gussets underneath the tube where the shanks come through.
Those supports have been there for a few months, but this is the first time we've pointed them out.

He doesn't always do things the easy way!:laughing:

Nice try, at first I thought what kind of advertising are these guys up to,:confused2: then I saw in the first pic where the 'order online' was clearly visible and realized it was a new marketing method.... Way to catch potential customers!:thumbsup:

This is what you get when you have a new grapple toy.. Always trying to find ways to use it for everything... hint: it is not for catching and removing 'Dinocroc' from the lake..

I haven't heard the whole story, but if we had video footage, i'm sure it would be useful on our How NOT to use a root grapple thread!

Wow, around here a tractor laying on it's side with the potential to dump diesel or other fluids into a body of water would probably result in a five-alarm Dept. of Ecology response.

While I commend thinking outside the box, most folks use a lift, ramps, or jack stands when they want to work on the underside of their tractors.

Besides, the fluids don't drain out the proper holes that way.

I'm fascinated to hear what caused this mishap. I owned the same CK20 with similar root grapple for several years and beat the snot out of it on hilly terrain but never managed to tip it over. Closest I came was lifting a large imbalanced load while sideways on a 12 degree incline. I don't see any evidence of a load in Ted's grapple though and not much of a slope either. Doesn't look like there is a hole for a wheel to fall into either. Was cow tipping involved?
