one way to unload a telehandler

[austin7930]

My dad and i are building a shed for our corn planter and combine since they are too big to fit in the old shed. We rented a telehandler to put the rafters up, but the guy unloading it had a slight problem getting it off the trailer..... ;D



the guy that tipped it over is the guy in the blue shirt on the trailer. He said he hit his head in the cab when it went over, but was mostly glad it went over on that side, other than the side with the cab on, it may have been a different story if it went to that side.....




But after putting some new engine oil in it, it ran fine!

Oops. ;D Did he pinch some of the seat off? lol How did he manage to tip it off in the first place?

Whats wrong with the 3pt hitch on the John Deere in the background?

He said it wasn't steering right.......when i looked in the cab the crab steer mode was on......he told me it only had one steering mode with the front wheels........he also told me he never ran one of these things before. I looked in the cab and instantly knew it had 3 steering modes, crab, 4 wheel, and front wheels only. Im sure when he thought he was turning it back towards the trailer, he was really turning it off the trailer

Its offset for pulling a "in the furrow" moldboard plow. That plow hasn't been used in 5 years now, and we don't use the 3 point on that tractor for anything, so we never set it back
