I don’t even get it. Would someone explain this to me?

I mean, how is this even possible? Is someone playing with photoshop, then toying with my logic by sending me these photos?

Don’t get me wrong, I’d be holding onto this as a souvenir if it happened to me, and I’d be proud of it—but how did it happen? I'm all ears.

3. I have seen other pictures of this before cant remember where but in the picture you could definantly see that the loader bucket dug into the ground at a 25-30 % angle. The tractor was on a dirt road and was pulling a flatbed semi trailer, the trailer had some kind of load (could'nt really see. It was more than likly at transport speed, and the operator might of had the bucket to low and tractor bounced, or he lowered the bucket to far, or tried to use the bucket to help stop. well it worked

4. I have seen this before too and like blackcat83 said he was pulling a load on a gravel road but the hydraulics failed on the tractor and thats what caused the bucket to drop to the ground and fold underneath the tractor.Pretty cool huh?
