Randy: The guy in the car is very lucky, the front axle on the 1486 must have been ready to fall off. I had the same thing happen driving my 560. The car wasn't going as fast, probably 30 MPH, however he hooked 560 front wheel, rolling of the wheel took the car up, he slid along top of tractor wheel until his rear wheel went over the tractor tire. At that point the car rolled. The 560 suffered no damage, car quite a bit.
He and his wife not injured, well maybe he, she weighed about 250#, and he maintained if she had her seat belt on and stayed on her own side of car, it would not have rolled. I didn't get involved in that one. His language was quite rough, he cursed me and he cursed her. Two days later he appologized to me in farm store. He was a fellow farmer, and I knew them quite well. This had happened after a sharp left curve in the road. The young lad a non farm boy following him had seen my signal lights soon as he came in sight round the curve, well before the old guy attempted to pass.
I did not see the ticket he got, however my insurance fought this on the premis he was passing in an intersection, crossing a solid double line and passing a vehicle displaying a proper left hand turning signal.
