Tractor rolled over on me this morning

Don't forget to put the parking brake on, before you put it on its tires!

Thanks for that advice.

You are lucky to be alive! Praise God that you are okay!

That looks like a lot of work just to sharpen the mower blades... How did it happen?

If you have comprehensive insurance the first thing you should do is contact your insurance agent. That’s why you pay those premiums every month.
After looking at the pics, Yikes! Thankfully you weren't injured. To steal another member’s line (Tractor Seabee?) a serious accident is one which money can’t fix.

My one track mind went right to hydrolock without saying the obvious: Glad you're still breathing!

I'm with the the others that mentioned a tow truck. Get some help with this, take it easy, be safe and remember that we all do dumb stuff. Wonder where I get that catchy screen name? I can give you 7 examples, none of which were MENSA sanctioned experiments.

seatbelts are only safe for tractors with a 4 point ROPS, else it's safer not to wear one, and hopefully be able to be thrown clear of the tractor before it rolls over on you!.. 2 point ROPS tend to fold up when there is forward or backward motion, like sliding down a hill..

Glad your not hurt worst.
I turned over my M5030 with metal cab while bushogging. Used jacks and cribbing to raise the top up about two feet. Then attached winch to top and righted. Had the equipment and some experience. If not best to get professional help. Your not the first. Your dealer may help arrange getting it upright, take to the dealer to checkout and return to you maybe the best and cheapest way to pay for an education. Hydrolock an engine and it gets expensive fast. Good luck.

I know this is sacrilege but, if you can, call a tow truck. They deal with similar things all of the time and have the equipment. You've dodged a bullet. Don't jump back in front of the target.

second this, call a pro. Its usually like $100

Yeah, how? Did it roll over 90 degrees or 270 degrees?

BTW: I don't agree that trying to "jumping free" is the best method. It's hard to land on your feet, lucky if there even flat ground to do so, and then get away from 8000 lbs that might still be chasing you with large spinning blades.

It rolled over 90°.
