When I see these accidents I first wonder how they happened and then, more importantly, if the operator was hurt or worse. Many tractors, especially older models do not
have ROPS attached.

the part I don't get is how some of them get done. It's flat dry road. So did they get the tail wagging the dog?

Driver may not have known if he was coming or going, the tread on the tires looks backwards.

Looks like there is a big drop off at the edge of the pavement, maybe it ran off the edge and rolled over.

gtractorfan The tread on the tires looks backwards.
That is because it is upside down.they are on correctly.

 

[Larry986]

They look backwards to me, if they were on normally they would be pointing toward the back.

x2 on the tires are on backwards, tread vee would normally point upwards when viewed from the rear.

 

[DoubleO7]

Looks like the result of an accident with another vehicle.
If he drove it off the edge, the suitcase weights would have stayed on longer and be in the ditch too.
As well as a lot of oil dry on pavement. Maybe laid down after the othe vehicle was towed away.

I spent 22 years mounting tractor tires. The tires are on correctly.

hd, follow the tread angle with your eye up the right side of the tires in the photo and around to what would be the top by the fender. You will then see that they are on backwards from normal installation which allows the angle of the bar to sweep loose material towards the outside of the tire when slippage occurs at the traction contact area.

Cut in two and glued back together?

 

[Jim.ME]

If they were mostly running on roadways, they might have mounted them in that direction, which appears to be backwards from the common mounting direction for fieldwork. JMHO

This must be one of those pictures where everything is a mirror image? The front tire is also on backwards.

I'm gonna have to stand on my head to do the puzzle...

Doing that only makes lettering and logos mirror image.

Even if you were looking thru the backside of a negative the tread direction vs the tractor would not change.

Easy access to the filters under the steps . Looking for the positive .

Hope he thought to shut it down before the oil pump went dry.
