 Topic: Don't act stupid on a tractor

What on earth is this person thinking?

Anyone skidding logs should have a proper setup that is safe. Use a boom pole; it is safer and puts less stress on the tractor and just a handy piece of equipment to have around. I've seen my grandfather with the front end of the Allis a foot of the ground; but that guy in the video is nuts.

What an idiot. He should have divided the work up, not try to take all the logs at once. Another one that escaped the life guard in the gene pool.

He has a large clevis hooked to the front . He should have run one of the logs chains up under the tractor and hooked there.

I have a lady friend from Manitowoc who spent 18 months in Albania with the Peace Corps. She said they all drive like they're trying to commit suicide!

Gross stupidity, left to it's own devices, is ultimately self correcting.

Either very stupid or very brave.
Sometimes it's hard to tell one from the other.
A famous person who's name I can't remember once said the only difference between a genius and being stupid is that stupidity has no boundries.
I think it was Einstein.

He hooked his load way too high on the tractor. People have made that mistake by hooking to the rod connecting the lift arms on WD's, and paid with their lives.
