Raymond said he wanted to make it easier for people who pull fish houses on trailers onto the river. He so happens to have a fish house on the river himself but told the Grand Forks Herald that was not why he wanted to clear the area.
The John Deere 544 loader slid down the cement ramp, through the ice to the river bottom. Emergency workers quickly helped Raymond out, but it took hours to retrieve the loader. Raymond's boss said he will be disciplined.

Good Goin', Dude.

LOL "He's in hot water." My favorite part.
An update to the story... he got fired. Whoops.
Those Minnesotans and their putting things on frozen lakes... they are wacky.
Oh yaaaahhhh (strong Minnesota accent), growing up I remember driving my car on the lake every winter to go ice fishing.
And as for that wackiness... I'll take that as a compliment :-)
Heck, I grew up in Lake geneva and I remember driving out on the lake in the winter. In fact I remember our Driver's Ed teacher plowing off a figure 8 course on Lake Geneva and making all the driver's ed students learn how to start and stop and skid and take sharp curves on glaze ice on that figure 8 course on Lake Geneva.
But important note: Lake Geneva is a LAKE. The guy sank his snowplow in a RIVER. Big difference.
