timber skidding from abroad!!

[garth mc garth]

most surprising thing about the videos is that all the drivers mates aren't sitting on the bonnet to ballast it down! lol

Nothing a decent set of front weights wouldn't cure

Skill not stupidity to balance the controls like that. Mind you he'd have looked stupid if she'd gone right over no roll bar - dead driver !

 

Had my Valmet like that a few times lol

 

...Happened to a relation: steep Devon hillside, dual wheels and implement hitched to three-point link drawbar, not the proper one. Got to the top, forgot to put arms down and over she went backwards (Cambridge rollers behind).

 

He grazed a shoulder, fetched the other Fergie 35 to pull the first one upright and carried on!

 

HSE wouldn't know where to start - oh, the confused look on their faces!
