Kubota B2710 lifting a 475 lb snowmobile on the brushfork.
I started to step off (to take a pic) and my weight leaving the tractor started it to tip. I leaned out to try to stop it but it kept going, until it came up against the stops on the front axle WHEW!. Was just about to throw the FEL down, which would have dropped the snowmobile.
I sat there for a moment realizing it was stable, and then carefully stepped off completely because now I HAD to take a pic. I pushed on it a little to confirm it was stable, and it was, so I quickly took a pic and climbed back on, and lowered the loader very very slowly, and the rear wheel came down.
I need to build a 3-pt ballast ASAP, thinking about just casting it in concrete. Does anybody have suggestions how heavy it needs to be?
