Another tractor rollover

   / Another tractor rollover #2  
Sad. My BIL rolled his 600 Ford six years ago now and it is still impacting families. It was health related cause. As our physical/mental limitations increase with age it often is really hard to back off what we have been doing fine for 40 years. After the BIL loss if thinking I will back of some the more risky stuff. I have a 30' drop down to a little county road that I push the envelop when turning at the top. Think I will back off and hit it with round up.

It almost looked like the edge of the bank might have been soft, and started to sink the wheels throwing him off camber, and causing the roll over. Darn old tractors, anyway,, A ROPS would have saved him on this one. Sad.

That's a shame...and I feel for his family.
I stay away from embankments. I'll either back the RFM (or cutter) close to the edge, or I'll make passes with my walk behind mower.

Yes it was. We've had massive amounts of rain up this way since spring. Constant mudslides everywhere and trees just falling over from the saturated ground.
