Has all the earmarks of driver dozing off! Hah. One of my guys did that and I had a hitch behind the seat. When he dropped off into the ditch and stopped abruptly the hitch flew to the front lacerated his ear on the way by and blew out the front window. I solved that by having the GPS alert the fuel shutoff if tractor got 25 ft beyond field boundaries. Guys fall asleep during harvest as the cab is warm, it is night time, and they often have not slept a good nights sleep in days. Harvest is hard.

No. They thought they could drive thru it and up onto the opposite bank. It would have made it if not for the steepness of the bank on the other side. Told them to dig it back first. Oh well. It’s free and I was able to straighten the bent sections
 
Then there is the deep tillers taking out a hydro pole. Same guy ,one last year, one last week. These new tillers are getting wider, and that throws the operator off.

I know very little about this stuff but it sounds like it ain't cheap when things fork up!
