slow down

I agree, but at the same time, in the case of the pictures above I don't think that chain would go ballistic if it came loose. Still a good idea to cover it or put something on it, but I'd guess that one would hit the ground if it came loose. (And I've seen a chain break and wrinkle the hood of a full sized Blazer like it was made of paper, so I'm not making light of the potential danger.)

This also looks like a great place to use a strap (except for that bob war fence).

Admittedly a chain pull like that could present danger. However, it is a very light job for a chain of that size and the the light load would not cause the elastic stretch of the chain required to store energy in the chain. Energy stored in windup of the truck suspension or hitch point would be a source of rebound tho. Pulling using a rigid system like a dozer or, less so, a tractor would be safe because with no stored energy the chain would just fall to the ground if it slipped from the load.

I don't think it was so much speed as a combination of loader up and uneven ground. I guess he wasn't paying attention to his tiltmeter.

thank you SPYDERLK. It was a light load and very easy to set up. A good rope would have set the Deere back on its feet.

I wonder if one of my Kioti's was after it ? It has happened before!

Nothing runs like a deer when a kioti is after it. (that's a joke guys, not an insult!)

Just don't hit any bumps in the process, that loader may break in two

hummm... more jokes.. I tell one, you tell one. just like a bunch of men standing around shootin the breaze.

Virgil, no joke, set your rears out and load them. Aloader, even down low is at best neutral to your CG, and the weight is forward. The rears are your stability. The fronts pivot and allow the tractor to tip too far before they try to catch it.

Look what he did.. I never seen a little tractor with duels

I bet he doesn't turn it over again!

Just how did he do that? I would love to find a set of spacers to widen the rears on my 4300....don't have room in the bush for duals though

I think the other side is on a block. Lets see a shot of it from the rear.
