Wreckers!!

Do they insure many Dutch farmers?

This was in Germany actually

Bugger☹, this was going flat out down the road!

ON the flat or down a hill?...over here we see lots of Maori overdrive..free wheeling down a hill with a big load on...lots of speed..ringpiece tightens so the driver touches the brakes..4WD engages and blows the UJ's on the driveshaft...either takes the sump off, or if the driveshaft digs into the road it flips the tractor...usual excuse is I was only doing about 30kph !!!!

This was on the flat, not many hills round him either. This is the prop between the engine and the transmission as well not the mfwd prop although I’ve seen a few of them let go too!

Bloody hell
It was bad enough slowly backing up on tick over
Did enough damage as well

 

[windymiller]

We had it go on our 6320, but the gear box end, dad just easing off the clutch to back up a slight incline and pop, couldn't move, no damage to anything luckily, but there was a bit of play in the dampner, so that got replaced.

We had a 6800 shaft snap like that
As we were backing it into workshop to investigate the vibration

we had a drive shaft on a 7820 go bang and it knocked the hydraulic pump off?

around here the silage boys free wheel down the mountain the problems arise when they try a guarantee claim and they are asked how did you get it up to fifty five mph also manitou props dont like going down hill as when the driver brakes the prop shaft does also

The video starts around 25 secs, and gets interesting from one minute.

That doesn’t look like a cheap machine to buy and run!

I think it would be cheaper and faster with a 5t machine and crane with skip. Surely that machine and a helicopter after is mega bucks.

A high volume, high pressure water pump and hose the mud away from the safety of the top of the dam, 'hydraulicing' as it was known in mining. But an impressive demonstration nonetheless

 

[Netherfield]

Would have been interesting seing it brought back out again.

 

[spanners and hammers]

that's not a job for your first day on the levers

 

[Barleycorn]

Mechanical failure is to an extent, just had a customer who’s engine prop shaft snapped on a jd6920 and smashed the oil cooler and a load of other bits! The insurance will pay for the consequential damages but not the shaft.

Why should the insurance (me) pay for any of it if it's a mechanical failure?

They’re not paying for the mechanical failure (the prop shaft), they’re paying for the consequential damages.
Think it’s similar to an uninsured driver damaging your machine, the uninsured prop shaft shaft hit the machine? ?

i think the menzi muck will get places a 360 wont get to?

 

[8100]

Awesome bit of kit .It needs a bigger bucket though to get the drivers balls in

 

[BobGreen]

You could see that forage wagon was going over way before it did. Strange way make a clamp surely your trailing all sorts of muck onto the heap.

Seen that done in Holland on a college exchange trip many years ago. We couldn’t understand why they didn’t use a buck rake. Clamp was just a mushroom shape on a concrete pad

I was going to suggest Kelsall Bypass. Claimed a few over the years
