Shame on Escambia county for putting that mean on retention ponds with a tractor that has turf tires on it
Thank God he is okay. My brother had a friend and neighbor that got killed in such an accident. My brother is the one who went looking for him and found him. That was so very sad and tragic.
@ Well…I see the one behind the driver and that’s good but I was referencing one that actually surrounds the seat/driver area. I just pray the operator will be ok. We all know any type of “unrestrained” rollover mostly results in a fatality.
Tractor rollovers take too many lives. I have operated tractors on steep banks many times and have had many close calls in Alabama, Florida and Nebraska. Operators, please be extra cautious on banks. Glade he survived. Many do not.
Hopefully the operator is OK.
BGH2. I agree about the seat belt but the” headache rack” aka roll bar, aka ROPS system is clearly visible in the pictures.
Can I buy it for parts for mine. LOL
Operator OK?
I just hope he had his seat belt on…I know on those types of equipment there’s no “headache rack” on it to protect the driver but that seat belt will save your life…I know that as fact.
