Got to say started digging my pond and it's pretty much scary getting out of there with a load of dirt. It just wants to tip over and scare the crap out of me.

The smaller Yannies are like that. You have to stay aware of what you are driving over, weight in the bucket and angle/ slope of the ground too. I have come so close many times to tipping it over with a bucket load. I keep one hand on the lever ready to drop the bucket at a moments notice. Try and keep it as low as possible and this help greatly. I am going to make a new bucket for mine but make it narrower than it is now, the same width as the front wheels which should help heaps. Have you set your wheels to the widest position and loaded them with liquid?

No I have not. Just flip the front rims? How do I load the tires?

Just watched some videos on the liquid fill. That should help some

Anyway to widen the tractor if you can't flip the wheels?
Not familiar with the 186 but assuming the rear wheels can be swapped to make wider. Probably already done that.

I did see that. Also anyone have any tricks to keep clay and mud from sticking in the bucket? Extra 100 pounds stuck in there each scoop and takes forever to scrape it out. Banging the bucket on a stump does nothing to remove it.
