No pics sorry but had a jcb tracked dumper roll over some years back - ran on own oil, revs went nuts til it blew up! The smoke consumed the whole village!

 

Rolled the botex euro crane trailer last year (not me personally, just on my job).

This got a bit stuck. Didn't even see the soft ground. Saw my front wheels had found it but before I could back out I sank on the spot! That's turf tyres for ya!

Hit an old bit of metal fencing taking out two tyres on the grain trailer.

we're council so they only deal with one tyre fitting company who didnt have one in stock, was a sidewall puncture so couldn't be fixed and couldn't be left on site either or might have been a bit err crispy in the morning in the end they took a wheel of one of the other tractors and drove it back to fleet HQ for repair next day

You just needed to jack the front up, put a block of wood between the beam axel and the chassis on the none flat side, remove the punctured wheel, then drive home on three wheels

Done that before on more than one occasion! Sure gets some funny looks, but it will get you home:thumbup:

drove a county once with one wheel steering someone had bent the track rod then it gave up completley when i was in it, it drove ok untill you hit some bumps and it would make a veer towards the woods but made it the half mile up the track haha
