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
