Thought I seen it all!

Would I lay my tractor on its side to dig under a stump? no
Would I be worried about oil flow and sump levels? yes
Would I apply side load my rims and axles like that with hydraulic digging force? no
Is the man within his rights to risk damage to his own machine to accomplish a job? yes

It looks as though the ROPS may have already been touching the piles, and he appeared to be contained inside it, so.......
the next question I guess I would ask is: Was this rented or borrowed equipment?

I was going to post "Idiot" but RDrancher beat me to it so:

MORON!

I'd like to see how he got the tractor into that position and back out again.

He didn't get out... he's still in the hole with the tractor on top of him and the stump on top of the tractor. Last I heard, they were calling in a wood carver to turn the stump into a nice marker.

It’s those idiots that make the feds constantly impose new safety mandates making our equipment less enjoyable to use. They also jump on TBN every so often complaining about the poor quality of their tractor after the oil pump cavitates and the engine locks up…

I'm with milkman636 worried about oil levels etc. That looks very similar to an oak stump I tried to remove that was wrapped around rocks and would not budge.
At least I had the sense to stop and call in a big backhoe to finish the job. Looks like he will need something just to get him, and the tractor out of the hole.
Had to look at the video a second time couldn't stop shaking my head. :duh:
