> If it means anything, I promise to be careful
A word of warning: I thought I was being careful while driving with a bucket full of gravel, while driving sideways on a very small incline. I hit a bump, and the next thing I knew my tractor was rolling over. Fortunately or unfortunately depending on how you view it, my pickup truck happened to be parked where the tractor was rolling to. The tractor went over about 60 degrees, then the ROPS slammed into my pickup which stopped it from going all the way down. I had my seat belt on, so I was left hanging there by the seatbelt wondering what just happened. The short of it is that the bucket full of gravel changed the center of gravity on the tractor and made it much more top-heavy than I realized. I was very glad I had the ROPS, or I might have been killed. The truck? The rear door of the quad-cab was smashed in; I was able to hammer it out and bondo it back to almost normal.
