Was pondering how the hell this could possibly have happened. There's got to be more to this story than what is reported on the farm magazine website.

On close inspection there is a huge trailer on a dolly A frame, and I suspect in this application that it was un-breaked. Judging by the prongs on the top of the bucket ( now dug into the road infront of the tractor ), the guy probably uses this combo for hay carting. The added weight of the trailer would have been the driving force to push the tractor over its bucket like this. The question now is did the bucket accidently dig in to the road or did the driver do it on purpose to stop this lot in a hurry.

My supposition of this situation is that the farmer was unbelievably lucky. Without the trailer, the tractor may have followed through and squashed him underneath.
