Downward pressure is going to lower the back wheels. The loader is what kept it from going endover. Thank goodness you did'nt kick into float position.
John,
Thats good advice. The reason I was recommending the rim guard, or an equivalent is because it weights about 4 times as much as water, so it will give you more balast, but I am not sure about the availability in AU?

When you get a chance (on flat ground) practice the heck out of using the FEL. Understand exactly how it works. You can apply down pressure and easily lift the front tires off the ground. Doing this will give you an idea just how powerful FEL down pressure is.
just went and attached the bucket and had a go, when the bucket is flat on the ground so like this ___ it lifted up the front maybe 12 inches?
But if i tilt it to around this angle ( less than that maybe 30 degrees) it lifts a lot higher.
Does this sound about right?
Ummm, not 4 times. 1.4 maybe...

ummm I beg to differ with you, but Rim guard weighs somewhere around 11 pounds per gallon, verses water weighing 8. something pounds per gallon
Rimguard is ~ 3 pounds per gallon more than water
