(quoted from post at 09:59:18 08/14/17) What happens when you put 7 tons of fertilizer in a tandum axle spreader behind a JD 4100 and try
going down a hill. I just shook my head. The guy now has several pieces of his tractor

What shape is the driver in??
 
The guy walked away from it but I am sure he was walking kind of bow legged. It slid down the hill
and he got a little sideways then it jackknifed. Rolled the tractor up on 2 wheels and then
stopped. It ripped the PTO shaft out of the tractor and I will be shocked if it did not crack the
rear housing in the tractor. I warned them last year about doing that much at a time. Maybe after
this year they will have learned. I finished spreading it for them but it was big for my tractor
and no way was I going on that hill. The tires on the spreader they had was larger that the rears
on the tractor. These guys have never been around anything farm related before and to them anything
with the word tractor can do anything no mater how big
 
Stupid people do stupid things pulling a 7ton load with a 20 hp compact tractor LOL just lucky it didn't kill him. And yes the rear of that tractor is alum so it's probably toast.
