Anyone ever tip a tractor?

Yes, I rolled a B21 onto its side while mowing with a bushhog on level ground. I had the bucket up just a bit
and the front wheel went into a very small hole, about the size of the wheel. The tractor came over slowly
onto its side. I was wearing seatbelt and the B21 had a canopy attached to both the FEL bracket and ROP.
The seatbelt kept me from falling out and having the tractor land on me. The tractor came over MUCH slower than I would have slid out of the seat without seatbelt. I know where the belt 100% of the time, even when on level pavement and no implements. Even when getting on and off when moving through gates. All the time.
A good friend died this summer after having a small Kubota roll on him.

Using a Tractor requires using the ol'e squash. And the butt.
Low and Slow is the best - when the butt says a back wheel is getting light, that's a good time to have the corner of the front bucket rubbing the ground. Whenever lifting a load in the bucket, do a couple of abrupt valve motions (few inches up & stop, down & stop) just to see if its reasonable. Loaders have enough force to lift the back end, even with big filled tires so there's always a temptation to do more than it should.

The real problem is - it's more often us guys who think we know better that get hurt. (maybe all them Berkline Recliner drivers know something we should) Oh, well, if it isn't illegal, fattening, or a little dangerous, what fun is it anyway.
