So... got this in an e-mail today. I'm not sure exactly what happened (not one of our customers), but from the looks of the damage, the forces involved must have been spectacular. This is what I gleaned from the e-mail text and pics: The tractor was moving along at about 18mph when the loader hydraulics gave out and the loader fell down, digging into the ground. The momentum of the tractor and the load it was pulling caused the tractor to FOLD over itself, with the pivot point being where the loader frame attached to the tractor. Whether or not there was a load on the trailer at the time, I don't know. If somebody knows where this happened, or what the circumstances were, e-mail me and let me know.
