I remember this type of horse rearing when I was younger like 45 years ago.
I grew up with tractors and I don’t remember them wanting to roll as quick as today’s tractors. (mine included)
I’m taking about side rolling.
I don’t know if it’s just me, having took a good 20 year break from being in tractor seats, or if the stance, wheel base was wider.
I have done everything with my excavator and maybe a few hours on skid steer.,,.BobKitty.
But even with a roll bar that mine has today. I am super cautious or aware, back then the word roll bar or cage almost hadn't been spelled yet.
And the units then were a ford 600 and a ford 4000 with F.E.L and backhoe it was an old state bushing tractor with hydmatic selectospeed I think it had 13 forward and 2 reverse speeds. It was a clumsy dinosaur. But it severed well.
And again this was early and mid 70’s.
Be careful and pay attention guys.
