Use Caution Loading Your Tractor

[Doug Sr.]

One of our club members rolled his tractor over backwards loading it today. He was not hurt. He was able to jump off. Go to www.latc.us then go to photo of the week for pictures.

Glad driver wasn't hurt! And I guess those ugly chrome stacks are good for something after all.

That's what I was thinking it made a heck of a jack stand,,,,and that darn draw bar pin is easyer to get to now....

And loaded the same way 1000 times with not a problem.

I was talking to him about his roll over and I think he had it in 2nd gear and latched in the clutch. I never latch mine when loading my long hood B. You asked why the web site is not on Google. I need to check it out. I thought when I built the site I took care of that. Thanks to everyone who posted and went to our site.

I keyed that address into Google and brought it rightup. Also found it with "LaSalle Tractor Club" search.

I watched a woman almost do this with a 730 backin July. Like someone else said, loaded it 100 times the same way and never had a problem.

Its amazing that the battery box and exhaust stack can hold up the tractor!

Saw someone loading an Oliver at a pull a few years ago, and he forgot to take off his rear weights. As he was going up the ramp, the front end came up pretty high, he jumped off, the tractor came back down in the front but the wheel spun while it was in the air, and came down across a trailer next to his trailer and was going without a driver for a short time. He really caught heck from the other folks there.

I tried latc.us and it worked just fine for me.

Thanks, Loren... I Googled LaSalle Tractor Club and found it.

This happened a few years ago down at the Burton Sugar Farm show just inside the Mississippi line east of Michigan City Mississippi. I'll bet the pucker factor was high there too.

Something to be said for backing on if you can - or finding a bit of a slope !
