Did they hole the rather oddly positioned and fragile fuel tank?

No was going to take it off, was in a hurry so disengaged hydraulic locking pins on way, went over a bump and they jumped off and before I realised what was going on that happened. Was sitting on them with back wheels off the ground.
Oooooh .......I bet there was swearing.......
I might of said no blast and bother a few times!!!
No that seems to be ok. Not sure on damage yet until the very bent belly pans are taken off, but it has definetly taken omething to do with the transmission and knackered one of the tyres.

Wow, best of luck with it.
Dose it have full length belly pans? They are an option on newer models, will be few that have them.

Lifted it off with another one that the local dealer has lent me until mine is fixed
Then had to push it onto a low loader. Top marks to them I say.

Thanks
Yes it does luckily, the back section is pushed over onto the prop and it has snapped some of the bolts holding the pans on

I think, hopefully, they've saved the day
, a bit anyway, just looking at the height of the frame, as it sticks up beside the engine cover, and imagining that passing under a machine, if it were like mine without any guards, I'd dread to think what could get damaged. Hope it's not to bad anyway, it's only metal, no one hurt
All the best.

Lucky i was not the driver, he was a bit nervous for a day or 3. several years ago now.
Before it happened we had a mystry tapping noise on the tractor, turned out a couple of the weight bolts were not quite tight.
When you look at how little holds all that weight on a deere or ford its a wonder its not more common

I'm good thanks, jarred my back a bit and lump on head apart from that main damage was/is to my pride. As you can imagine news travels fast and it's market day today so plenty of micky taking!

It's like the video of the bloke knocking the garage wall out while stood between the house and the garage. It doesn't end well
