Horrible accident with vintage dozer

[CalG]

"Vintage" has nothing to do with age. A common misuse of a word.

It could be a 2015 vintage dozer. Check with your local wine merchant for details.

Sad event. One can never know what might happen even if they are careful.

Vintage = year or place a wine was produced

Yup, compared to classic, depending on what dictionary you use

The td6 had a hand clutch as did the td9. A friend that was a long time operator had an old td9 IH Drott loader. He'd leave it in gear with the clutch knuckled out and dismount it. He had a rusted clutch disk and it would let the trans spin enough to make it hard to go back in gear. One day dismounting either he bumped the clutch or it vibrated over it took off with him half on and half off. He made it out with some bruising. About a year later same scenario a guy bought an old T6 gas engine loader had it in gear with the clutch knuckled. It wasn't knuckled all the way over. He was sitting on the track when it took off.he didn't make it.
