Warrantee good news

I give you guys a little history and a learning lesson on this tractor.
This tractor only had 10 hours on it when it went over..The customer didn't get hurt..... except his pride.
It went over so easy that there was no paint work needed.
Now for the lesson....
When you purchase a tractor and finance it there is what called physical damage insurance that the lender will provide if you do not get your own insurance.
No matter what GET INSURANCE!
The tractor needed a brand new engine becuase the customer couldn't gather he thoughts quick enough to shut the tractor off and by the time he got to it it was to late.
That my freinds will cost you close to $5,000
With insurance it cost him a delivery charge only.

Wel....iffen it was Chinese, and the first thing out of your wife's mouth was, "Shut that **** thing off!", it would have started right back up upon righting.

Deputy I'm going to guess that you have some personal experience in these matters.

 

[Gil Case]

Now just for future reference, how did you get it back upright??

I suppose you didn't take the time to grease some of those hard to get at grease fittings and change that nice blue oil filter staring right at you while it was upside down.

deputy, that's a good photo of why you should not have a box blade wider then your tires ...so you don't bend up the 3ph ouch!

It is a customers of mine and he belongs to the local fire dept..
He told me they brought over their fire truck and with ropes and rigging they were able to up right it.
I was not there.

A kill switch built in to a tilt sensor might be a good idea. It could be rigged to trip at 50 degrees off camber.

Yeah but that is one more piece of electronics to potentially go bad and disable the tractor. I prefer the kill switch built into the operator's right hand.
