That's from a couple years ago and been discussed over on new ag talk. There are suppositions all over, including a kid playing with the loader while the new owner was flying down the road. The only faster stop would have been hitting a wall so there should have been injuries inside the cab.

Man, that is Kuh-razy screwed-up!
See, I been tryin to tell ya'll them MFs were no good!LOL!
Seriously, I would imagine there were some pretty serious injuries. I don't think you could tear one up that bad if you backed it into a wall and ran into it with a D-9 Cat. I sure do hope it wasn't somebody's kid that let the loader down and did that. Bad enough for grown folks to get messed up, hate to think about what would happen to a child sitting on the armrest or in daddys' lap.

Gerald, I remember seeing this too. The kid was blamed and there was a heavy trailer in tow.

Hmm, I just noticed the windshield seems to be intact. Back window is gone. Kinda figured it would be the other way around. I don't see how anyone could have stayed in there with that kind of impact, unless they were wearing the seatbelt. Most folks don't.

Nick, that would explain the damage to the back end. I hope junior and dad were OK.

Probably it had drifted down as loaders like to do from vibration at the valve and pulled for up and then pulled on past to float. Boom!

Looks like the grapple saved it from flipping on over.Now that would make you shat yo britches. Must have had the seat belt on unless was puckered to the seat.

I can believe the youngster explanation.
I was test driving a challener 600 series a few years ago with an offset disc in the ground and my young fella on my lap (thought it was safe inside a cab tractor). Him being about 14 months old and wanting to grab everything, he reached up and grabbed the fwd/rev lever and flipped it into neutral. It stopped in a hurry with that big disc in the ground. Salesman fell out of the instructor seat and I got the steering wheel in the gut. Young fella didn't hit anything and probably thought it was all in good fun!

They also said over on New Ag Talk "That'll buff out!"
The cutting edge on the loader sure took a big bite out of the road.

I know a man that was going down a paved road on a 3000 Ford with loader with hay spear. The neighbors dog was chasing tractor so he thought he would scare it by bumping the bottom of the spear frame on the pavement. Well, he didnt realize the spear was tilted down and it was. It went into the pavement and he experience the sudden stop syndrome. Woe!!! Gut met the steering wheel. Bent the spear, nothing broke. Bet the dog got a kick out of that!

After reading Eric's post, there's something to be said for leaving well enough alone....

I think you could get more of them on a truck load when they are piled up like that. Look at the shipping costs that could be saved!

If that was done right, the loader would have broke off the tractor instead of the tractor breaking in half
Strong built loader, piss poor built tractor
