ol550 830 #2 Posted January 13, 2012 Clever. I've heard you can turn one over doing that and with a little mire throttle it could have happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

546cowboy 301 #7 Posted January 13, 2012 Where there's a will there's a way and that is something I wouldn't of thought of. You have to wonder though why he ever thought he could make it through there with whatever is attached to it. Looks like a disc maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have to wonder though why he ever thought he could make it through there with whatever is attached to it. Looks like a disc maybe? It appears he is logging with a farm tractor. You can see the butt end of the logs just to the end of the video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Road-Track 39 #11 Posted January 13, 2012 Farmers have to do stuff like that in the spring around here or if you are sugaring in mud season (the fifth season in Vermont) tactics like that and a few others are sometimes needed. I have had to tie 16" logs cross ways to the wheelhorse rear wheels a few times getting stuck in the mud. What ever works... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC9KAS 4,741 #14 Posted January 13, 2012 My 1st father-in-law did this several times in years gone by... He used a railroad tie....about a 8" X 8" X 8 foot long. This wouldn't break! Problem was, he ripped the fenders right off of the tractor....He just laughed and laughed! This man had 3 or 4 gardian angles, as 1 couldn't keep up with him!

6wheeler 586 #15 Posted January 13, 2012 Never done that with a tractor before. We did a somewhat similar thing with a D-8 Cat once. Very dangerous, we hooked 2 cables (one on each track) and let them spin and pull the cables underneath. Then attach them to 2 , 16 foot logs and pull them underneath the tracks. It worked. But after a day of fighting with it we learned a valuable lesson, Don't get stuck in the first place..... Lesson learned :eusa-think: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,651 #16 Posted January 13, 2012 I have seen that before on RS Chas Yep, its a cool video and it resurfaces on Redsquare about every 18 months or so. Apparently the guys on this forum must have some common interest . Mike........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
