How did this Case IH Axial Flow combine end up in this predicament?

The driver of this John Deere 8000-series track-layer and square plough must have fallen asleep at the wheel.

It looks like the weight of a tank-load of grain maize was too much for both back and front cab windows of this John Deere combine.

Deere, Oh Deere – a trio of big John Deeres wallow in the mud.

Stunt-driver? Steiger Cougar clambers over a grain-bin, backwards.

Is this a set-up or has this Hitachi excavtor really sunken out of sight?

This has to be one of the biggest – and presumably heaviest – sprayers John Deere builds. No wonder it’s got a bit bogged down.

Thanks to Rod Simmonds from Pukekohe in New Zealand for these shots. If you’ve caught any amusing machinery mishaps on camera send them in to fwmachinery@rbi.co.uk
