The OOOPS thread - don't be shy

[Bearded Munch]

One of our tractor drivers was cutting a football field which he had done for years when the front wheels went down and rested on the sump only to find out there was an old mineshaft in the field, it must have been collapsing underneath for a long time.

a relative of mine was mowing a field and his back wheel fell into an undiscovered Souterrain

1. an oak that was too unstable to rig, this lump was MEWP'd off and rolled down a bank wiping out a newly restored wall...oops!

2. Wet road, rushing to get on site and the biggest ditch in Essex

3....Well the customer went out and I was pushing ballistic nylon....

 

Looks like a very moving experience to say the least:thumbup1:.

Is the bank steeper than it looks on the photo, Seems strange for the tractor to tip on a slight slope. Strange one that:confused1:

 

Glad you and your kit is fine

 

stay safe

loose nut behind the wheel is the probable cause
