Help - Rolled my JD4710.

[TMGT]

As already said, top of rops is a good pulling point. Also make sure you set the parking break before righting it!

A JD 4710 comes in at North of 2 tons, with loader.

Pulling it upright should take less than it would take to lift it. (angles, forces, physics, and math)

Anything you can do to "lift" while turning will be a good thing. Cut a ten foot log and notch the end for a cable ??
Multiple fixing points to the tractor will be a good thing.

Trees on the up hill side for anchors? Or will you roll it down hill? That seems like a major decision.

I've got trees to anchor it. Don't plan on rolling down hill. Will have to tow it uphill once it is upright.

It is Important to have a plan!

From my take on the pics, The tractor needs to roll UPHILL about 130 degrees. That is likely the full weight of the tractor for about 6 or 7 feet of pull.

A few come alongs will do the job, but the pull distance is going to be a challange.

Power pulls/ cable pull equipment might be the best option for a DIY (re-sell the investment afterwards)

Vestil CP-15 Steel Long Reach Cable Puller

The Vestil CP-15 Steel Long Reach Cable Puller is the perfect tool for those jobs that require an extra boost. Capable of a maximum pull distance up to sixty feet, it's ideal in horizontal applications and can save time by avoiding having to rehook when using manual hoists. However, it should be...

This video will give you an idea what needs to be done after a rollover.

setting the parking BRAKE is a great idea!

I'd be concerned with just pulling on it that it might just slide up the hill on its side ... If there is a way to chain down the lower rear tire at what will be the bottom when it's back up, so it stays put ...

Also jacking the lower side up first may put some weight on the bottom of the what's now the bottom tire before pulling on it.

Looks like the seat took quite a hit!

From the pictures, the slope doesn't look that steep. If you don't mind could you dissect what happened. Wheel in hole, loader too high, more slope that it looks like???? I just try to learn as much as I can from others.

You probably didn't plan on putting it on its side either, but things happen. You need to get it on its tires as soon as possible. But safely.

Either hire it out or do it with help. But prepare for unexpected movement.

Glad you are here to post about it instead of someone else posting a link to TV news!

Seeing it in real life would be helpful and perhaps change my mind. Just looking at the pics, here's what I'd do:

As mentioned, make sure that when it gets upright it can't roll. I've seen several videos where a successful recovery became unsuccessful when the equipment rolled away.

Have a look at the lower part of the loader mount for a starting anchor point. Even if it won't be enough to right the tractor, it is currently a higher point and should help to start rotating the tractor.

The ROPS - particularly high on the ROPS - looks like a great place to anchor. You'll need to have something to prevent the choker / soft shackle / whatever from sliding down the ROPS as pulling force is exerted. The way the tractor now lies the effect of pulling on the ROPS really wouldn't be different from puling on the rear wheel until the tractor rotates beyond the point where the cable no longer touches the rear tire. If you do connect to the rear wheel to pull it, either hook near the bottom or somehow prevent the wheel from rotating. If you connect high on the wheel it'll likely rotate to the bottom as you pull and it'll surprise you.

It looks like the loader might be lower than the bottom plane of the tires and if so it could act to help resist rolling the tractor back up. If it looks like that is the case, maybe you could jam the joystick into the float position or hook a paracord to it so it could be pulled from a safe distance.
