This Massey Ferguson tipped on its side as the mower is was powering stalled and grass heaped up underneath it.
Whilst cutting grass one summer's day last year, the conditioner on this mower stopped working suddenly. Unbeknown to Bob the driver, the grass wasn't getting flung out of the back of the mower - instead it was piling up underneath very quickly.
When Bob turned at the end of the field, the mower stopped against the heaped up grass causing the weight to be flung to one side.
With a tug from the farm’s digger the tractor came down easily. The conditioner was soon repaired and the mower was out cutting again.
Both tractor and mower worked like a dream for the rest of the season.
Thanks to Alison Senior for sending the pictures in.
