Northeast Nebraska | The nice new planter and tractor thread below reminded me I had these pics to share... and I'm sort of joking but it is serious too... the big equipment raises issues with where you can take it and what can handle it...so Be Careful!!
What happened here was the guy was trying to stay to one side of the bridge to make it across due to the length of his planter and the road had an angled approach to the bridge... Add that to the weight of the tractor and termite damage to a bridge that "looked fine"
My Father-in-Law has a towing/recovery business and he's had to get some guys out of some real situations... this one is interesting...(I think)
Oh yeah, it took two large wreckers... one to lift the tractor and another you don't see behind the planter to winch the whole thing backwards to get it off the bridge. It's amazing what you can winch!!
I hope we all have a perfect spring!!!

Be careful with that big new planter on those old bridges!
