First off this is not my compactor or operator, I'm there to do the grader work with my grader helping a friend contractor. Really not all the operators fault the POS wouldn't steer after making a right turn and he could not get stopped in time. Thankfully he is OK, no seat belt so he bailed off the high side, could have been bad, belt up out there.

    hey pete,those things work a lot better upright,i don't think it is cost effective to drag it with the back hoe..ha,ha just kidding,glad he is OK, that bail out plan can go bad in a hurry
