Engines can get pretty hot if the conditions are right. Using such big machines on hot summer days trying to get your work done will, sometimes, result in something similar to this picture. It’s a good thing the driver jumped out. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have this sweet pic, which we expect has already made it onto the cover of a southern rock album.
We do hope that right after the driver took a picture, fire trucks rolled up, and fire suppression tactics went into effect. Gotta protect your investments, and tractors are a huge investment, even a comparatively little one like that.
Can I Park Here?
Tractors are not useful in the slightest when they manage to get INSIDE the house, such as in this picture. When you were young, you might have had a thought to, for instance, smash through the wall of your sister’s dollhouse, but once you’re behind the wheel of a real tractor, you can’t have the idea to take it anywhere near the farmhouse.
Really, unless the wall is made of steel beams and concrete, in the battle between tractor and wall, the tractor is going to win. You can bet your bottom dollar on that. Talk about breaking and entering, right?
Gotta Stay Grounded When You’re in a Tractor
When you’re controlling a tractor, you must ensure that you know exactly what you are doing at all times. The person who was using this tractor must not have been paying attention since we can see in the picture that a huge, likely very important electrical pylon is now lying over the tractor.
It’s also probably destroying the piece of farming equipment it was hauling. How many people or businesses lost power because of this? We really hope that the farm responsible for this mistake had pretty good insurance. Otherwise, they’ll have more to worry about than damage to their tractor.
The Rare and Mysterious Beach Tractor
Go to a farm, and you’re going to see a tractor. Go to a construction site, and you’re going to see a tractor. But a beach? That’s not where these majestic beasts often appear, so we’re happy to present a picture of one of these uncommon creatures.
We don’t know why someone would take a tractor out to the beach and the water since a big heavy machine like that could easily get stuck, especially if it’s hauling a trailer. Maybe it was taking floaties to those in need, or maybe this person was getting ready to make some bank by selling popsicles to people heated after a day in the sun.
How Long Did This Take?
Despite being called heavy machinery, tractors have their own special climbing abilities. Did you know that? If you’re talented enough with your tractor, you can do all sorts of things in order to get a cool picture. In fact, we aren’t sure if this was intentional or not – how could it not be?
The backhoe is in the perfect bracing location, the front scoop hoists the body off the ground, and the feet are out to either side to keep it balanced. We’re going to have to say that this was on purpose. The greater question is why. Other than for the cool picture. Which is admittedly very cool.
The Grill Is Ready
Engines can get pretty hot if the conditions are right. Using such big machines on hot summer days trying to get your work done will, sometimes, result in something similar to this picture. It’s a good thing the driver jumped out. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have this sweet pic, which we expect has already made it onto the cover of a southern rock album.
We do hope that right after the driver took a picture, fire trucks rolled up, and fire suppression tactics went into effect. Gotta protect your investments, and tractors are a huge investment, even a comparatively little one like that.
What Do You Mean “I’m Stuck Too?”
Not one, not two, but THREE tractors all seem to be stuck in the mud here. There’s yet another machine, mostly off-screen, that is trying to dig them out, and most likely, the driver is being careful not to get too close. This is the kind of thing that farmers have to deal with sometimes – after the rain; those fields can turn from hard-packed dirt into mud that will get you stuck for hours.
This can turn what was supposed to be a productive day into one that’s full of frustrations. We hope that these three were all the tractors that got stuck that day. Otherwise, they’ll have to call in the Air Force to yank those machines out.
Stuck on the Stairs
Stairs really aren’t for everybody. Specifically, they aren’t for people who think they can get a tractor down them and around a mid-flight corner. Maybe if it was a straight-to-the-ground staircase, then it could have been done, but this clearly isn’t.
We don’t even want to THINK about how hard it was for this thing to get unstuck – though shouldn’t those responsible just have been able to put it in reverse and go back up the steps? Maybe the way the tractor is wedged makes it impossible, or maybe it just doesn’t have enough juice to back up a grade.
Deep Water
When someone is in deep water, it means they’re in a heap of trouble, and there’s no easy way for them to get out. Well, now you can imagine the genesis of the phrase. The two bystanders are unable to do anything other than hunkering down on the bank and watching their machine sink.
How does one even go about getting such a heavy piece of machinery out of what appears to be a river or at least a deep pond? If they’re lucky, it won’t sink any deeper, but even then, what do you do? You can’t use another tractor to dig it out – then you would have two tractors in trouble.
