Hope the operator okay.

Would that be a Cat dozer by the way.

Do you know what happened? Looks like he was skiding, looking back, and drove into a big hole.

I'll bet he sure was proud of that roll cage, especially if he had a seat belt on.

Bird,
I can't recall ever running one that had seat belts! All I've run have had the roll cage (except the old Cletrac), but no belts. Of course, the last one I was ever on, was a JD12 that I worked for several months.

Re: Stupid Tractor Tricks-flipped it

Scruffy, I've only operated one, and only for a very brief time, can't remember for sure but think it was a Case 580, and it didn't have a seat belt. Maybe none of them do; I just assumed the newer ones would have.

Re: Stupid Tractor Tricks-flipped it

Bird and Scruffy, The last company I worked for had a newer D9 that had seat belts. MSHA requires seat belts on all machinery operated in a mine setting, and can levy a hefty fine if they are not being used. I guess they could have been added on, but my guess is they come equiped.

Re: Stupid Tractor Tricks-flipped it

I'll bet that expanded metal feels really good on your face as you flop around inside that roll cage. Of course, you would prefer the pain to the total absence of feeling that having a track-loader on your back can cause. /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

The S.O.G was somewhat in the open, well, after I "dozed" the slash out of the way it was open. :cool: I went after a bunch of stumps this past weekend and pulled 40-50. The average size was in the 6 inch range. But I did get out a 36 inch oak stump. 2.5 hours of work but I think I can get it under 1 hour as I figure out the root systems.

I went after the oak like it was the pine which I think was overkill. If the weather permits I'm going after the remaining 4 oaks that need to be removed next weekend. I'm thinking I can get them out by digging under them on one side and then moving the tractor forward a few feet to cut the remaing roots. Hopefully under an hour. :cool:

When I have a bit more time into this and really have the technique down I'll post my How To Remove Stumps in the Rural section.

I pulled quite a few 1-6 inch pine stumps with the 4n1 bucket as well. It was like pulling teeth! :cool: Thankfully not mine! :cool:

The power company is putting underground lines into my neighbor's house site this week. I had left a 60 foot section of pine saplings on the side of the road as a screen. But they have to come out for the power company. When I did this by hand I was lucky to do 150 feet of road per VERY hard and HOT work day. But also leaving the cutoff stumps in the road. With the tractor and the 4n1 FEL I did 60 feet in an hour. That was everything piled up and most stumps out of the ground. AND I did not work up a sweat! :cool: Course the tractor did not care either. :cool: Sure wish I had the 4700 last spring! :cool:

Later...
Dan D'Stump'n Man!
