I was gathering up cut rounds yesterday. I was driving the big tractor with a trailer behind it; my friend the smaller SCUT. He has a little tractor time, and I told him to keep the bucket low, advised of tipping issues, etc.
Things mostly went well. Except he needed to take a bucket full of rounds to the trailer, and raised the bucket to maximum height and held it there traversing over the forest floor. Yikes. After he got it dumped I pointed out that if either front wheel found a hole, the tractor would be on its side (and him) faster than he could recover. So we dodged one yesterday.
