I'm terrible about going back into my gallery after I post a pic and looking for comments. I don't mean to ignore any of you, I just get busy doing other things on the site and forget. This afternoon I decided to run through all 26 pages of pictures and make sure I followed through but once again, I got distracted. This time it wasn't by site work, no no no, it was by you guys. I started noticing the number of views on certain pictures I added. For instance, I did an article on rear brakes a while back, as many as 12 of you viewed some of the pics. A little later I ran across a pic from a rally in N.C. a few years back, 112 of you liked that one. OK, that's cool but 400 plus on one pic.....WOW!

So I thought I'd just post a few, just for laughs. See if you can find the logic in this.

A load of firewood going to Ohio brought 110, interesting.



The donut patch got a respectable 278. I have to say that the patch didn't work. I changed it every hour like the instructions said but I just couldn't quit eating the old ones. Although it was purely medicinal, I still gained weight.



Somehow I managed to put this in my gallery 3 times. The total number of views was 299. I really don't know how to interpret this, it could go either way.



315 views on this one. I like a good wreck too!



How can you go wrong with Charlie Daniels. He comes in at 320.



More carnage! This one bumps in at 348.



463 views, I thought I had found the top of the list here but it wasn't to be. Another pic from the Charlie Daniels concert.



My first water run 4 days after Katrina hit the coast. At 822 I thought Wow, you guys really do like trucks. Then I found the one pic that surpassed all the others.



This has me so confused. I can understand the girls but not the guy with the balloons in his shirt. I can understand the water run, even the load of wood but this???? Like I said, you guys crack me up! 859 views for the ricer.

 

I remember that evening... I kept thinking my OL was gonna divorce me for going into a hooters, taking her and the kids, none the less... That was a Marine, by the way, I'll just throw it out there. Before anyone says anything, he did make about 50 bucks that night in 1's...

 

It driving me nuts ……….what happened to cause the wreck involving the tractor?
Maybe not enough pictures but I just can not understand how or what happened.

By the way is that Mark working at his second job?

 

Hooters 'girl' has to get a new implant doctor. I can totally tell those are fake.


I wanna know more about that tractor too. And I think it was just haters looking at the exhaust pipe pic.

 

Nah, mine would have been bigger!

The tractor pic... we were talking about that, we think that he was hauling butt down the road and got that back and forth tractor bounce, and the bucket caught the ground, got ran over by the front tires, and the trailer pushing didn't help.... that's just theory....

 

I think that's a pretty good theory on the tractor. It had to be rocking and rolling pretty good. Especially with the trailer load on it. I would think it wouldn't bounce as much...??? But I'd hate to be the guy driving it having to call back to the boss at the house or shop

 

Nah, judging by the looks of the Hooters girls (both of them) your OL had nothing to be concerned about.


As far as the tractor goes, it's probably what happened as you described it. At first glance though I thought it maybe came off the back of the flatbed all at once and stuck the bucket in the ground and crumpled from there. Where in the heck was the motor? Is it between the tractor and the bucket out of sight? Either way, expensive mistake.

 

I googled the image, and the description said that one of the lines failed, causing the bucket to drop. Don't believe everything you see on the internet...

 

Up here we call that the rubber band effect on that tractor. I watched a tractor go out of control like that with a large round bale out front and too high...folded the tractor real fast.

I think the rubber/silicone was out of control at Hooters too.

 

The only story I had seen was the line failure but either way, I wouldn't have wanted to be driving when it happened.

 

"I have to say that the patch didn't work."

There was somewhere that I read Bill Clinton tried this with some silk undies tied to his arm. I don't believe that worked either.

 

...

 

Wow now that ya’ll have pointed out a few things I see what the tractor is setting on. I think maybe a change of shorts is in order for the driver.

I submit an alternate scenario: is it possible that the tractor was on the trailer and that the trailer came off the ball, digging into the ground causing the tractor (that was not secured well) to go over the front?

 

Hadnt seen a couple of those before. The Hooters one I copied to my desktop so I wouldnt have to log onto DTR to look at it (im just kidding you hope).

 

What model tractor is that anyway? It sure has a seemingly short wheel base,as in the front tire looks like it rubs the back tire.
