Probably the most scary rollover I had was on a Honda 400AT with a sprayer on the back. I was spraying around the edge of a cornfield and the front tire hit a hole hidden in the grass. It threw me off the lower side, and here come the atv. All I could do to avoid getting run over was to roll through some thorn bushes myself ahead of the atv. I think it rolled side over side twice before coming to rest on it's wheels. The 15 gallon sprayer was almost full at the time, I think it saved it from getting crushed. A few scratches on the 4 wheeler and a lot of scratches on me, we were alright. I had to figure out how to get the thing back up the hill it rolled down. It's been probably 7 or 8 years ago, I think I ended up backing it up the hill since I had the weight of the sprayer on there.
2 other scares was mowing on my 855. I have a ditch I used to mow along. I couldn't mow down in it because the banks were too steep. On one side was a slope, not a real bad one but a slope. I mowed it sideways along the ditch all the time. Well, except once. I decided to change the mowing pattern to get a better cut. I got to one point on the hill going up it and I lost traction. I only had 2wd and diff lock with turfs. Ended up backing the thing in the ditch with the front wheels in the air. Luckily no damage to me or machine. I pulled it out with our 6410 and then when and got the blade on the 6410. Now I can mow and whole ditch since it is now flat bottom and there is no longer a bank.
The other scare on the 855 was down by my mailbox. I mowed this spot for years, hanging the deck out over the ditch, but for some reason this time the dirt gave way and the rear wheel slide off in the ditch. The mower deck had it hung from going on over. I was more worried bout getting it out without rolling it. Managed to pull it backwards and uphill a bit. Once the wheel was out of the ditch it was fine. I weedeat and push mow that part now.
