Newbie question :Backflip

[tonyw]

Mark, I can feel your pain--at least, I've had the same scary experience with my 1401d. I also have a 24" scoop and have done wheelies before without front weights...it's a bad feeling to think of having my wife or 5 year old come out and find me squashed under my tractor. Even though flippimg over completely may not happen with a scoop on the rear, it's still not a good feeling! I added close to 100 pounds which has made a big difference in the way my 1401d handles...probably wouldn't hurt to add more. Those few scares have made me more cautious, especially since what happened last week in my area. A man pulling logs with an old Ford 5n flipped backwards and was killed less than 2 miles from my house last week..he had just bought the tractor 2 weeks earlier. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
