Harvesters don't make the road muddy. I believe you confused harvesters with trucks. A common mistake...

Mud on the road + not scraping it off the pavement + truck =

^^^ Let me guess who was driving? :icon_scratch:

[MisterCMK]

I drove the truck to the plant after it was removed from the ditch to dump it. I didn't put it in the ditch though.

[MisterCMK]

The truck drove just fine after getting out. Slow but that is normal.

[Grr]

holy shit clean that road!

[z31]

Where is the rest of the load? :icon_scratch: I don't see any sugar beets rolling off the sides of the truck. :icon_geek:

[z31]

What did that cost anyway?

[Grr]

I didnt get any pics, but i damn near rolled our new 30 ton beet cart. had one tire off the ground and i got the conveyor up for ballast, only thing that saved it. scared the shit out of me thats for sure

Holy fuck i dont think you could actually get any closer to rolling and not.....

holy shit! thats nuts. we had almost that same thing happen to a silage truck a few years ago when we had cattle. the guy got to close to the side of a grave road with water on both side, sucked him right in. the truck was on its side, lost its load in the water, oil and diesel spilt everywhere and the epa had to come out and do a clean up.

we hooked up a tripled-up stieger to pull it forward and a older cat with the flat tracks to pull it upright. the idiots who owned the cat were hudderites(sp) and didnt know how to drive it, they just sat there with smoke coming off of the tracks because they were spinning so bad.

Pictures or it didn't happen. It will slide before it will ever tip over. :icon_bigsmurf:

it did slide, then the high side wheel came off the ground about 8-10". Putting the conveyor up is all that saved it

I have yet to figure out what the point of a beet cart is. If you are pulling trucks you might as well simply pull the semi alongside the harvester or run straight trucks which don't need to be pulled as often. I suppose before the advent of the Safe-T-Pull I could see them being used.

Its even better in the field. Much nicer than having to dick around with chains and the rope. The tractor can let go of the truck while they are moving rather than have to drag them up onto the road before they can stop.
