Must be a heck of a story behind that. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif WOW. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

 

[ByronBob]

What model is it and how did you do that?

 

[canadianjoe]

Its a 1550. I was driving along the edge of a pond and the roller slipped in and pulled the tractor in. Nothing I could do when the back tires hit the water I bailed out. My boss was pretty cool about it.

 

[canadianjoe]

The roller is five feet wide, about 2ft tall and filled with cement. The owner of the property finished rolling the lawn with his bx2200. He stayed well clear of the pond

Did you shut the engine off before going in?

No but you can bet I will next time

Can't help but think in this case lack of a ROPS and seat belt might have been an advantage.... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Glad all turned out OK...tractors can be repaired without too much pain...people can't most of the time...
