Slightly correct.@Two Tone
Thinking about but could be wrong
This isnt the first time you been involved in a little incident loading scrap
Wasn't there a mishap loading something before and it fell over the side of trailer on to something shiny!?
We had a Matbro 250 110. It was a lovely machine. A lorry driver was due to pick up a load of wheat and arrived early, while I was doing the school run.
He rang up and asked if he could load himself until I came home, promising that he knew all about this machine.
Just before I got home he rang me again to say that "somehow" the bucket had come off and slid all the way down the boom, crashing into the cab!
The twit, had unlocked the pins, then crowded the bucket back as far as he could with it at maximum height.
It wrote off that cab. Fortunately Matbro were still going then and the insurance paid for a brand new cab.
Never again!

Ah! I’ve got you now.Umm nope I didnt know about that one
It was involving the Redrock I think
No, it wasn’t the Redrock. It was the Matbro.
I was loading some scrap onto an old ”cut up lorry” grain trailer. The last thing to go on was an old tank, which I though was heavy enough to squash the lighter stuff into the bottom of the trailer. It wasn’t, or the light stuff wouldn’t squash down any more.
Unfortunately, it rolled off the trailer, bounced on the concrete floor and ended up on the bonnet of a car.
................but I might not necessarily want to call that one an accident!
Especially as I personally paid for, but never got the insurance excess back from its owner!
Was it worth every penny?
