Yep know all about holes in the ground and tractors . Years back my one buddy and i bid a job of mowing gas line wright of way , like 97 miles X4 . Over some of the roughest ground that i have ever been over . We had a 310 case dozer with three point and PTO and we rented a case 430 tractor and two 8 foot brush hogs we mowed up and down hills that a dirt bike would not climb and we mowed places that were flat as a board and long enough that you could land the space shuttle . I had the 430 on one of them FLAT places and was trying to make time and i was mowing in high third when i found a place that had washed out around the line And sheared the pin on the left ft. axle and it folded back putting the ft.end of the tractor into the dirt and with 1200 lbs of iron hanging on the ft.And digging in the tractor stopped and i went over the steering wheel and ended up standing next to the engine . It was a good thing that it killed the engine when he went nose first into the ground or i would have went thru the brush hog.Three years ago i found a tile blow out in a water way while planting corn and the corn planter did not fair so well , the tractor missed the hole that i did not see in the tall grass but the planter found it and went down and ripped the left marker clean off . plus broke the left fertilizer box .
