Several of those pictures look familiar. They were at one time on the opticrop crop consulting website before parent company was sold. Thing is the opticrop manager at the time had the pictures sent to him either directly by the farmer or the farmers crop consultant.
Those circulated the company pretty fast. Most of the time with a story. I don't remember the stories. The one of the spray coupe on the back axle is actually a pretty decent ride unless you have to climb out. Happens pretty slow most of the time. The worst is when you loose the front axle to the ditches.

Yeah, don't know why I remember useless info like that when I can't remember where i left my gloves.

Those farm bridges sure take their share of workers just like the narrow dirt roads with very deep ditches. . We had some poor guy on one of local huge farm dir on one last year. He had one of those huge Houle chit spreader tanks and was going across edge same farm bridge he had for years. One of the wheels on the tank dropped off the bridge which filled rhe tank taking the cab tractor over with it. If he had not had the cab he would likely have lined. It it landed completely upside down in just a few feet of water and he drowned being stuck in the cab. They couldn't get him out even though the Rescue Squad was 1/4 mile away.
It sure doesnt take much to start a disaster when your vehicle is heavy and you get running late. Most of those old farm roads were built back when the machine were half the size used today. That just adds to the odds of an accident happening.
