Four good reasons why you should never buy a combine off the back of a lorry…

If someone offers you a cheap combine this Autumn, there is a good chance its fallen of the back of a lorry, and you really don’t want it delivered like this.

The photos, which were taken in North Dakota, America, this harvest, came to our attention through a friend of a friend type arrangement.

James Porter from Suffolk was sent the photos by a friend of his who was in the states working the harvest this year.

Apparently the truck was travelling down the highway when the driver lost control and the unit jack-knifed, throwing the combine off the back.

Certainly the most bizarre position we’ve ever seen a combine in…

If you’ve captured a hilarious act of machine wrecking on camera then send your snaps (plus your contact details) and a brief description of the situation) to fwmachinery@rbi.co.uk.

Please remember to include a brief desciption of the situation so we can do your story justice.
