Whoa, that does not look like fun to be, glad that he made it out okay with only a bruised ego. What did he think was the major contributor to the rollover?

first thing out of his mouth when I showed up was..." Virg, I was going too fast".

Re: Almost lost a customer - Virgil\'s pictures

I know hind sight is 20/20, but it looks to me that the loader was in in a raised position, which makes the tractor much more top heavy. I'm glad Virgil was okay, though.

I see people driving around all the time with their loaders up- way up- I guess so they can see better. It's not safe at all. Tipping is one hazard, but what about low hanging power/phone cables, guy wires, garage/barn door openings, etc.?

Safety can never be compromised, even if it's"just this once", or "I don't have enough time".

I'm glad all of us can share on this post, because if we're not safe in what we love to do, we may not see tomorrow to do it again.
