Tractor wrecks

Thanks for posting this...

Yes, it has been here before but it should be required viewing for all TBN members and new tractor tractor buyers!

Amazing how a worst case event can cause a tractor to roll or backflip without any effort at all... /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I am amazed at how easily they go over.
Being very new to tractors I'm going to be
a lot more careful.
Thanks for the link.

Thanks for posting it again.

If anybody thinks they can not use seat belts and jump clear they need to view the mpeg movies on that site. They might change their minds.

Thanks for the post. Great information to put out there. After watching I really want to put a roll bar on the grill guard of my 'Bota. It would have been interesting to see how the tractors reacted with a FEL, since it seems like most of us here at TBN have FELs we use quite extensively.

I would like to see some rollover video done with a stock ROPS to see how well it would hold up. I know they are OSHA approved and all but so are forklift cages and believe me, they can fold if the forklift turns on its lid. My opinion is that the ROPS on a tractor is designed more to keep it from rolling all the way up side down than to support the weight of the tractor and attachments if it were up side down. Anyone have video of a stock tractor doing a side rollover?
