John Deere 4010 - Pulled From River

This tractor was parked close to the bank as the river was washing the bank of the island away. The tractor rolled into the river and came to rest about 20 feet deep. In 1998, a barge with a large crane was placing rocks on the bank at the same place where the tractor rolled in to help fight against the river washing the bank away anymore. The farmer who owned and lost the tractor was there looking on and told the crane operator about the tractor falling into the river and pointed to the general location of he thought the tractor was submerged. The operator lowered the clam shell type bucket into the water. With a lot of luck, he grabbed ahold of the JD 4010, brought it back up and set it back on the island.
