You can see the one previous set of tracks into the back field higher and steeper up the slope from where the the tractor resting. No sign of the front wheels cutting in on that one track so that was the trip in and empty. Looks like she rolled on the 1st trip out with a bale. The bales came from the field behind the tractor accident. Those rear wheels were not set out to full width and extra cast ballast cannot be seen. The bale bottom was up about the height of the top of the front tires. Too high as the bale's center of gravity is higher than the rear axle. That loader hasn't changed height much or if it's moved it was only "down". The boom and hydraulics are still under pressure and holding the sheet metal off the ground. That big old wet bale likely went 1500lb+ when dry. Probably had the hydraulics about maxed out to lift it too. That little tractor weighs about 4900lb dry plus what ever the loader weighs. The loader weight is mostly above the tractor centerline however. Even when ballasted with fluid that tractor likely wasn't over 6500lbs tops. Who knows what gear the driver was hurrying up to the the hay shed in. The ground doesn't look very smooth either. Bounce and roll.
