Not a smart thing to do. Wonder how fast he was going on that blind curve?

It is probably for sale now, I would guess.
I would rather have all manual stuff, too. I have seen too many people lock themselves out of a vehicle with power locks. Window motors go bad-especially in dusty enviroments. I'm not about to give up air conditioning though!

Actually, the grill gaurd probably saved that guy at minimum a quick field castration. You can see where the weld broke in that second picture. Man...that guy is probably goign to have some wicked flash backs!! Glad it was only the pick up.

I caught a much lighter pipe gate with a forage wagon chute one time. It did not have a tongue like that so it bent easier. Still made a big mess.

WOW! I wonder if he has been invited to try out for the "ladies" choir at his Church?

Why is there never time to do it right the first time, but always time to go back and fix it?

Whoo weee! That makes me cringe! Wonder how far he managed to cram up in that seat back? I would have been trying to make a back seat out of that front seat.

I wonder if the truck was an older model if that pipe would have gone that far? Dream, you said it!

A friend of mine was running a track hoe on a building demolition job when a steel gas pipe was pushed through the cab by another guy running a loader on the other side of the building. Pipe went across thru the cab right in front of him. He finally got the other guy to stop using 2 way radios they had.

I'd bet if that grill guard wasn't on the front the gate would have just bounced off the fender....

Good point Eldon, probably would have done some nice damage, but stayed out of the cab. The guard kinda acted like a guide.
Scary stuff!!
