Got a call this morning from an old friend with a water problem , he got too close to the end of his pond and the bank cloasped in and him and the T180 went 10 ft under fast , he said he felt very lucky that if he was in his machine without a front door as he said he would have never got out as the machine was lodged in the mud bottom , he said he barely got out as it was , the sad part of the story is his dog , a 8 years old lab that follwed him everywhere , this dog would even seat on the bush hog deck while he was cuttting , apprently the dog was close to the machine when the bank failed and he found the dog pinned under the machine and drowned , he took it very hard as he said he would gladly have left the machine on the bottom if he could have his dog back --------------he was able to drag the machine out the pond with an excavator and is working on getting the water out the cylinders which had it locked up

Sorry to hear that... Too bad we can't fix Gods creatures too. Around here we tend to love our equipment, we can resurect almost anything, yet our limitations come round to humble us some days.
