This is one of the reasons though I hate driving tractors on the roads is that it seem dick heads pulling out in front of you is the normal, tractors just seem to be a magnet for it... and over taking in stupid places or worse not overtaking when it’s it’s perfectly safe and not keeping the traffic moving so some retard 4 cars back decides he’s going to break a land speed record to get past almost having a head on... any way hope your not injured Jonny.

what people don’t realise is how quick tractors can actually go. both mine will do 55k and people pull out or try to cross into a junction in front of you they don’t realise your going nearly as quick as they are

It's not really my area of expertise Stubby.

 

Hope things work out well for you Johny.

Sorry to see.

main thing is nobody hurt.

hope insurance give you fair deal,  they don’t make tractors that good anymore.

Oh thats not good, hope your ok, they where the better tractors as well, very reliable and pretty much bomb proof, it that would of been a newer tractor, it would of been in a much worse state than yours, as Matty said buy it back for a yard tractor and try and get it for as little as you can, i would be ringing Wilsons on monday and asking them what they would give you for it then you will have some leverage with the insurance co, wheel rims i would think will go back to near the shape they should be and will be fine for in the yard, i hope it all works out in your favour for you,,,,

Hope your all ok, bet you need to claim for a new pair of pants after that one!

 

You could be able to get a new cab, we had one rolled on a farm years ago, insurance company had a new cab and panel work on it. 
 

if you get it back check the wheel studs, I know of two tractors that had been hit, (nothing as hard as your looks like) one from the side and one head on both had a wheel come adrift a few days later.

He must have thought you were turning left to pull out like that. Glad everyone is safe.

Probably on the phone too, rough day Johnny, glad you are ok. Could be cracks in some of your castings after a smash like that.
