Don1977 604 #1 Posted July 14, 2016 Pictures first. 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. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,909 #2 Posted July 14, 2016 Wow, reminds me of my back flipping Commando 8. No real harm to the horse, but did you damage yourself at all? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don1977 604 #3 Posted July 14, 2016 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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike'sHorseBarn 2,652 #4 Posted July 14, 2016 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!!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BESTDOGEVER 218 #5 Posted July 14, 2016 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 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,967 #6 Posted July 14, 2016 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. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TDF5G 2,051 #10 Posted July 14, 2016 Been riding 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! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prondzy 3,867 #11 Posted July 14, 2016 Glad to hear your ok! I've heard of a horse rearing up at a hitching post but this is rediculous 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tuneup 1,416 #13 Posted July 14, 2016 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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tunahead72 2,343 #17 Posted July 15, 2016 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"? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don1977 604 #18 Posted July 15, 2016 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. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
