....can tear up anything.
The shop took this one in a couple days ago and it had a total of five chains/come alongs/ratchet straps holding it together.
Sheesh, how do you circumcise a tractor? It had an aftermarket loader on it and I personally think either he dropped the load too fast and stopped it too abruptly OR was riding too fast over terrain bouncing a load that was too heavy.
However he did it, he did a helluva job on it and its gonna be expensive.

Aw man. A little duct tape and some Gorilla glue and that thing will be good as new. 🤣

He asked if it could be welded
I stared at him for a minute or so until he decided to walk away 😳

A firefighter told me that idiots are job security.
It works for mechanics, too.

Couple gallons of JBWeld and he should be good to go. 🤣

The correct answer is "why yes it can be welded. It cannot however be welded to where it will work again. But it can be welded".

Happy to hear it took that long, I was exposed years ago.

Saw something like that in the dealers back lot. A nice 35hp tractor, loader, backhoe. It was sitting there in what I would describe as a V.

I asked about it and was told it has about 35 hours on it. The new owner decided to dig out a huge stump. Got the thing dug and loose. Then decided to pick it up with the backhoe to get it out of the hole. Well something happened and it was stuck to the bucket teeth. The operator just kept hitting it the stump on the ground trying to dislodge it (counter intuitive if you ask me). Eventually the stress when most of the wheels were off the ground and then back again broke it between the engine and transmission.

He was waiting for a warranty decision...

Is tractor shop location or name a secret? Or against forum rules?

Maybe he just doesn't want the entire internet to know where he works.

Very possible, hadn't looked at it like that

I post stories about me and wifey, things I see and do, but yeah, I try to keep the identifiable personal details out.

That said, I got that thing blocked, braced, chains removed, and all the fluid lines and electrical pulled back away from the split before I went home.
Removing the loader braces require removal of the fender wells so Im gonna tackle that tomorrow and get the front half pulled apart from the back half.
Then true damage assessment begins.
