How does one manage to wrap a tractor around a tree?

Exclamation *** One of the most dangerous jobs... ***

Farming.

If the physical labor doesn't get ya' - the equipment will.

Most of those were "common sense not being applied" scenarios...too soggy of ground, too much weight, load not balanced, over-driving your machine, etc...

What I wonder the most about...the last shot. How can you drop a container on a tractor? Were there some unresolved issues between the Dockworkers' and Transportation unions?

Also, I wonder how many of those pics were "terminal" shots? (Operator expired - "Darwin Award" qualifiers?)

30 mph (feels like 60), a lot of weight and momentum, huge bouncy tires, terrible road handling.

Nice Mercedes tractor towards the end.
