I can't complain about the traction. I backed into that fence post It climbed up and over, I only had time to jump off. No real damage was done to the Wheel Horse. Scratched

the paint on the rear fender and warped that wore out seat. I twisted the seat back into shape with a board and ratchet strap.

Wow, reminds me of my back flipping Commando 8. No real harm to the horse, but did you damage yourself at all?

No I jumped clear and landed on my rear wasn't hurt. The C-120 wouldn't turn it back over after removing the grader blade. Had to get the Explorer to tilt it back on the wheels.

I think quite a few of us have done this. I rolled my 401 off of a trailer, wasn't hurt thank goodness but it makes ya feel a little foolish after the fact......

 

Glad you weren't hurt!!!

I have had a few close calls but have yet to flip one the closest thing to that is when my cart tipped over hauling firewood. Usually I just manage to have them roll into the ditch and need the 310 to pull them out

Don, I'm relieved to know you were not hurt in that incident. Its good to know you still have cat like reflexes. I had no idea that 312 I sold you had so much power. Maybe we should reset the governor on that thing. :P

Could have been real bad, but you are not hurt, and the tractor is ok too. Great story with a good ending.:happy-jumpeveryone:

Been riding :wh: since I was a kid for over 40 years now I'd guess.  Never turned one over.  Got 'em stuck in the ditch a few times though. 

 

Glad you or no one else was injured.  Things like that happen before you have time to think about it.  You were quick to think to jump off!

I stopped watching the BBC because of these mating rituals. Who knows what would become of this and so glad you were able to get out of the way unhurt! Physical attraction is ignorant of roll-risk. Feels like Friday.

Hey Don, glad you weren't hurt, and the tractor looks fine too, just a few new "character" marks.

 

Just my own personal opinion, but I think it's a little early to be competing for next year's RedSquare hard hat award.  Was it Groucho Marx who said something like "I don't care to belong to any club that would have me as a member"? :)

I went back and finished leveling that small area. I used this piece of equipment to keep the rear tire away from that post and to loosen up the grade.
