Not the brightest....

Is it just me....or is this a really dumb plan?

Then to advertise it on your website....ouch!!!

Let's hope he doesn't next suggest that you can climb underneath to perform servicing in this configuration! /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif

Not too brilliant the way I see it, as one minor false move, and his apple cart will be upset. I wonder what he is trying to demonstrate or prove? - that the tractor is so light that it is easily picked up? - that the attachments are so strong that they can pick up the tractor? - that this is a way to pick yourself out of the mud? Thanks for the post.

That picture came from the old TaskMaster site (new version doesn't have it since he doesn't sell that brand backhoe anymore). If I remember correctly he is showing off the downpressure available from the Kelly hoe and FEL. The tractor is a Taskmaster 284 and weighs in at 2675#. He made very clear that this stunt was not endorsed by Kelly and didn't recommend anyone trying it.

Still not the safest way to demonstrate your product.

That link I posted is directly to their website still under the implements area. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif So I'm afraid it is still on their website. Even as a means to "demonstrate" the product strength...OUCH!!!!

I stand corrected Knight, it is still there (without the disclaimer). I talked to the owner about 6 months ago and he was offering a different brand BH I guess I just assumed he had stopped selling them.

I thought maybe he was just trying to demonstrate how powerful his tractor was after some over engineered modifications. Makes me think about some others here on TBN /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif...

PB-M, I bet it is much more likely that you sit corrected.....

Hmmm... /w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif

I you recall <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.tractorbynet.com/forumfiles/2-91242-Dancingdiggerforsure1.jpg>this picture</A>, we may be looking at a trend.

Wonder what kind of stunts you can do with a pink EarthForce machine? /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
