I have read (and learned a lot) on this forum, about safety as well as quite a few other things. I tend to be overly-cautious and I go out of my way to be as safe as possible. I love my tractor but not enough to die operating it, if you catch what I'm saying.
Anyway, I have read some of the horror stories about pulling stumps out with your CUT. I am going to ask the dumb question of the day: what causes the tractor to actually flip over backwards? Bear with me, but in my mind I'm thinking that since the rear wheels aren't moving but you are giving it the gas, is the tractor actually "riding around it's own axle," so to speak? Is that why it happens so fast?
I can see the advantage of using the drawbar for pulling, since it's lower to the ground. If a tractor is starting to flip, does using the drawbar help in any way to stop the flip, or at least slow it down, somehow?
