Been there done that. Dumping rocks on the inside of the pond dam for erosion control. I was aware of the danger. Nevertheless, got one front wheel over the dam lip and that's all it took. 3 seconds later the tractor was in the pond! Using 4WD, rear ballast box and slammed on the brakes but those weren't enough to offset the weight of a bucket full of rocks, steep slope, and gravity. Had to call a wrecker to pull it out. Cost $70 and considerable embarrassment.:ashamed:
$70--- still cheaper than $16K for the tractor, or the priceless cost you are to the wife.. embarassment is priceless though.....
