The one and only time I have ever rolled my tractor, and this is in 40 years of operating, and mowing the sides of the road for several towns to boot; was in a field with a roll-over plow.
I was on the outside edge of a 9% grade, and had just come around a corner. Because there was a sheep fence there, I had my bucket up (empty) to clear the fence as I made the corner.
When a person is plowing, to go straight, the front wheels have to be turned slightly to the left, and for whatever reason...probably a rock, my front wheel climbed out of the furrow so that my right rear wheel was in the furrow, and my other tires up on unturned sod. That was fine, but when I turned back to drop my front tire back into the furrow, it was a little too much, and the tractor kept going over.
It was the strangest sensation. it was so slow that I just stepped off the tractor as it went over. I had heard that from other people, that tractor roll-overs happen REALLY SLOW, and so I found out, that is true.
I just flopped it back with the skidder, and all was good. (And yes I got pictures of the event so it did truly happen!) :thumbsup:
