He got too close brush hogging and rolled his tractor into the pond, pinning his foot under the machine with only his mouth above water. He had to dive down three times until he finally worked his foot out of his boot. He's OK and the tractor is being checked.

Glad he is ok, however that job shouldn't be done that way, but rather up and down. Yes, takes more time but you don't risk flip the tractor and getting stuck underwater.

Glad he is OK. Thanks for sharing this. As a new tractor owner, posts like these give me a good reminder to slow down and stay focused on safety.

Glad he lived to tell the story-certainly a learning experience.

Did the tractor cut out once it rolled? None of the tractors around here when I was a kid had rops on them. But all the more modern tractors do. Many of them didn’t have fenders either. Maybe they would damage them hauling firewood or something. But most didn’t have fenders. So it would be bad if you rolled over …

Banks can be very dangerous.
