Glad he wasn't hurt seriously

Looking at the rear tire it looks like it lost the bead seat and went flat.
I'm surprised that the tractor flipped with that on the uphill side, unless the lower side tire turned the tractor suddenly.

Grass hanging off of the right side, right tire pushed off the rim, the uphill side turf all matted down, the batwing mangled and laying in an odd position, it did more than just flip on it's side. Looks to have rolled a couple times.

Doubt it, not enough damage to tractor for anything more then a flop.

It would be nice to find more pictures of the incident.

How?

Hmmmm You are correct most are towed. I was thinking three point, Lik this TPX-318 ROTARY CUTTER - Schulte Industries
But that's not so common is it?

I think it’s very common. Probably 90%.

The 90% of bat wing mowers are 3-point connected and only 10% are towed ???

I'm thinking maybe I didn't say that very well about the shulte.

I would reverse that 90% are towed and maybe 10% are 3 point.

No. It’s the other way around. Most are pulled with the drawbar.

That’s one of the problems with non face-to-face conversations.
