Rolled it over tonight.Question?B2650

[2ndhalf]

After reading of another postor rolling his tractor it has made me very cautious. I could see how you could roll a tractor.. they can be a little top heavy.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune and I hope it starts right up no issues.

Pulled the glow plugs tonight and they did have oil in the cylinders.Put it back together and fired it up.Good to go again.Thanks for all the help.

Happy ending to an event that could have ended with loss of life.

I've laid my 955 over on it's side numerous times and my 4410 at least twice that I can remember. I've never thought about hydro lock. When the tractor lays over I just shut the engine off until I can get someone to pull me back up on my wheels. Once the tractor is more or less upright start the engine and drive out of the ditch that I'm in. Then I go back to mowing ditches. Just a bit more carefully.

This sounds a lot worse than it is. Next time I'll take some pictures as I don't have half an hour right now to explain what I do. The biggest cost so far has been $150 for hydraulic oil when the oil filter broke off of the mower I had on behind and all the oil ran out!

I laid my B2910 on its side about four years ago. Here is a thread with pictures that show that it does not take much sometimes!

Don't ever ask to borrow my tractor...lol

Nor mine!:laughing: I to laid mine (BX25) on it's side while not even moving but I only did it one time. Did have a few close calls other times. Got so close one time that I had to gingerly reach back and push the BH leg to go down on the down hill side to stabilize it and then swing the BH bucket around to the high side and pull my backend around to up the hill side. Started to jump off but didn't have KTAC Insurance.

Bucket was on the ground pushing dirt.it will probably be the weekend before I can get a picture.I would love to have a set dual wheels on the rear for stability.In hindsite I had a 7ft landscape rake on the back.If I had dropped it maybe it would have give me enough support to back off without rolling.

They work and help a lot with the pucker factor.

I looked at the links. Really, really great! They are still holding up? And totally surprised that steering isn't a beast! Much admiration for you. :drink:

 

[milkman]

Still working great, was dragging trees off the hillside last week and I can go anywhere without fear of flipping over. Just grab the end of the log and lift it up, no problem with traction at all.

 

[milkman]

Did the same thing in the same way a few years ago with a BX25. Ran on it's side and blew clouds of smoke till it ran out of fuel after turning key off. Pulled it back upright with my truck up the hill and started it and ran fine the rest of the time I owned it. I just turned the key and cranked a short time and fired right up. Smoked some but then cleared out. Fire it up and go forth!:thumbsup:

John, where you live you might have to go with triples, that beautiful view you have makes it worthwhile though.:thumbsup:

As stated above you should not be able to easily liquid lock a diesel. Theoretically you could run enough oil through an open valve to do it, but I doubt that happened.

True, but I have seen enough posts right here on TBN of someone bending a rod, or worse, when cranking an engine over after a tractor rolled, that I wouldn't take any chances myself. I have concluded the problem is a lot more common than I realized.

Thanks for the pictures. Hopefully your 'puckermeter' now has been calibrated for future reference!
