Stability

[Anonymous Poster]

Pruntyc,

I was not making light of the "be careful" approach and certainly believe it is even more appropriate for a novice like myself. I had just hoped for an additional safety net that would increase the confidence of a newbie.

I still remember the pucker factor I felt when the front wheels came off the ground for me. I have not really felt comfortable on a slope since then even though I have not done anything to comfort the enemy "instability" since.

Also, I guess I don't yet have the time on the tractor because I can't find an excuse to run it over the property with winter here. All the grass is brown and already mowed.

I'm not familar with your size Yanmar... but have you considered looking at a JD41xx series and see if something matches up or comes close to modify and retrofit for your unit...

The only problem I see... you may not like the JD price... /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

I sure had problems with the "wheelies" even with suitcase weights. Loading the tires with washer fluid has been a significant improvement

Some of the ground I have is a tractors mans nightmare.
I put liquid in all 4 tires,and that helped whole bunches.
I dont worry any more,and I keep my loader & implement LOW when traveling.
My neighbor calls it a "poors mans roll bar".
