Recently, 8NTX posted a rivetingly interesting link to marine disasters in the Safety forum [HERE]

One of the calamities was the collision and capsizing of a roll-on/roll-off ship in the English Channel. Ship's name was Tricolor [HERE] She was carrying a load of new cars, trucks, tractors.

What I found especially interesting was the manner of using chain like a chain saw to cut up the hull, cargo and all, for salvage [HERE]. Lo and behold, there is a new, but seemingly totalled green and yellow tractor inside! Scroll down the salvage page or click on the attachment to see. Can the tractor be identified from what can be seen?

I'm pretty sure that would be a 6000 or 7000 series tractor. Too big for the 5000 series and too little for the 8000 series.

surely looks lika a 7020 series tractor....

one of the other pictures shows several salvaged tractors that must have been offloaded already... what a shame!
