Fishing,,,for a tractor?

[Elitebowhunter]

anddddd a baler. ...
Here's the story.

Was fishing with the old man this past weekend when he got a call from my uncle Stan. He said he had an issue. He was baling and ran out of twine so he put the tractor into park (he had been having issues with the park) and went to go get his twine. When he came back long behold there was no tractor. At first he thought maybe someone ran off with it. That is until he saw the tracks leading into the pond. However, there was no tractor in site even with the baler attached. Hmm...The pond wasn't all that big but its deepest point is close to 25 feet deep. Guess where it went into the water? Yup you guessed it, that deepest point.

Well he went ahead and got a hold of the dive team and told him his story with them laughing at him which I would/and did too.

As they went on their dive out in the pond to search for it they put out water markers so they would know where the baler and tractor was..these two markers show just where it is...

Once they got the tie rope on the tractor they started to drag it out. Turns out when the it went into the water the tractor flipped on its side. First sight of the tractor..

Another look as they pull it out of the water...

and the final picture, uncle stan and the old man.

Some additional information....The tractor WAS in park. However, like stated above he was having some problems with the park.

Thanks for reading :way:

Dang that is some real hard luck, looks like it will take some time to dry out.

That's awesome!! I bet he don't do that again. At least it's a red tractor and she will be up and runnin like new again soon. If it would have been green I would have just left it for the fish........great fish structure.

Haha, good one Liv!

I'm surprised it got that far into the pond, must have been moving pretty quick.

That's awesome, not the tractor going in but the tractor AND baler both being completely submerged.

Thank you very much for sharing!

If it was green the parking gear would have still worked so this wouldn't have happened

Thanks for the pix and story. Hope everything works out for him.

That is one of the craziest stories I have heard in a while. Hope they get her working again. Thanks for the story.

Holy smokes!

I bet that tow truck driver had a good laugh that night....there can't be many other jobs that make a guy do the Tim Taylor grunt like being able to pull a totally submurged tractor and bailer out at once.

Take a look at your profile picture...:grin:

At least when a green one gets stuck, it takes a trackhoe to get em out. So much power, the earth splits.

Must of been flying to get everything under water ! Thats why you need to park across the hill not up and down shit happens !
