Wow, glad you are ok. Any tractor rollover you can walk away from is a win.

glad your okay and that your not using my equipment!!

Rolled my first (and hopefully only 🤞🏼) tractor when I was 18yrs old. It was a 40 horse John Deere. You never forget it. Thankfully I WASNT buckled as I jumped from the seat (all I could think of was the tractor landing on my legs as I leapt) because when the tractor landed, the seat was smeared down 3’ of the trunk of a big birch tree. Had I been buckled it would’ve been me (maybe the ONLY EXCEPTION when it comes to not being buckled - ALWAYS wear your seatbelt like you were!!!) Listen to your “spidey senses” when you’re side hilling and back down them vs turning/side hilling at all. Glad you’re ok. Like I said, I can still see it like it was yesterday (when it was 27 years ago) my full load of gravel starting to slide sideways out of my bucket in slow motion wondering what in the hell was happening until my next thought was JUMP!!!! Lol

Sheesh !!, that definetly, totally just sucks! This spoke to me. Thanks for posting this video, Takes a Real man to put yourself out there with a teachable life lesson at your own expense. I APPLAUD YOUR HONESTY SIR! Thank you.

Note for the future: Always wait at least 24 hours after getting the machine upright before trying to crank. On it's side oil from the crankcase slowly leaks past the piston rings and fills the cylinder. If you crank in this condition, it's not uncommon to bend a connecting rod or damage other components in the rotating assembly. If you really want to reduce the risk of hydrolocking, remove the glow plugs and crank to expel the oil. First instinct is to upright the machine, start it, and get it out of there. That reaction can be costly.

Gee, my Kubota has a compression release! It's a do-hikey that keeps the exhaust valve from closing all the way.

This is a great reason why you should leave your R.O.P. (Roll Over Protection) up when out with your tractor. Thanks for sharing.

You should always wait 24 hours for all fluids to settle in the tractor before trying to start it after a roll over event has happened. Glad you are ok.

pull the injectors and turn the engine over, DO NOT turn over with starter otherwise you may bend a connecting rod.You can turn over by hand from the front engine pulleys.

I feel much safer without the belt - lap belts aren’t really gonna do too much on a roll over... if it’s a fast jerk, you’re guaranteed a broken arm if you’re belted, if it’s a slow roll you can walk out as the tractor is coming up.....

I also survived a roll. I was too close to the edge of a fresh digout for a basement to a house. Ground gave out as i drove by. The only way for me to bail was to jump further out than the tractor could roll. It was an old ford with no ropes. Had a massive bruise on my leg. It all happened so fast that i have no idea exactly what caused the bruise. Glad you are okay!

NEVER try to start a tractor immediately after righting it!

OMG ( understatement) There`s why and how a ROPS works, and of course, seat belts. I`m thinking that maybe the engine oil went down through the valves too, and possibly the injectors will have to be removed to allow the engine oil out that way. We`ll see. The main ( only ) thought here is that you are OK Thank God!

Wow, thanks for sharing! I've been close, but never rolled fortunately. Good thing you had your seat belt on. I guess I should be wearing mine.

Safety first bro, glad your ok, these mighty machines are worthless if we aren't around to use, and enjoy them. Your a man with great amounts of knowledge, but it happens to the best of us, stay extra safe please bro, keep logging bro!!

Rops up, seatbelt on, and no injuries. At least you can say that much. I'd let the engine sit for a day or two before trying it. Hope that works out well.

I put a level gauge on my dash and have gone 25°, I have stacked weights on rear tires and I’m presently installing front weights to give it a lower center of gravity. I was on a slight grade 10 degrees or so, and I just dumped a load of brush. The loader was about a third of the way up, I backed up quick and cut the wheel to the right, the next thing I knew, my right rear tire was coming up off the ground. Mower deck was still on too.

glad your ok you either need to pull out the injectors or glow plugs then crank over to pump out fuel /oil on top of pistons hope engine isnt hurt.

My tractor was a slow ride over as well. I was lucky I was able to use the bucket to get it back on its wheels. Be safe my friend. Hoping for a restart after everything settles back down.

I've heard of loggers rolling skidders over to pull the bellypan, but this wasn't really needed. Glad you are ok and it looks like an easy fix with just unbolting and remounting the ROPS. Not that it will be cheap, but certainly easy. I have seen Nathan running around in his new tractor with the roll bar not extended up and he needs to see this.

I am so glad you guys are alright. Be careful.

Glad you didn't get hurt...seat belts are great.

Cameras never do steepness justice. They make things look flatter. Wasn't till you had the long shot down the hill could we tell how steep it really is. It is very hilly where I live and even the lightest side hill when going over a gopher mound with the back tire is enough to give her a push over. Side hills are white knucklers for me. Glad you are ok.

and this is why it bugs me when I see guys operating with the ROPS bar folded down on machines where it can fold for transport or storage ( and having a 1050 with a fixed bar, that's a handy option ) "...I was just mowing and..." Your telling this story is all the justification the ROPS should ever need.....it may have seemed slow to you in the seat ( fight or flight reaction etc) but I'll bet it went over pretty fast to anyone watching, once they go over center, they just go. Very glad you are alright. Must have been quite the ride. Staying put and NOT trying to jump clear as it went over must have taken about all the guts you had and maybe some of your kindly neighbor's as well. People get hurt that way. Sure hope that the engine drains and that's all it is. Good Luck and thanks for sharing the teaching moment with us all !!

Last year an older cousin’s husband drowned when his tractor overturned like yours, pinning him in a shallow pond on his property. The tractor sank at a soft spot causing it to roll over. A passerby had seen him cutting and later saw the tractor wheels up. 911 was called and they found he had drowned. I saw your thumbnail and thought I’d mention this for others to see.

I was lucky, just rolled my brand new little tractor myself. Had 15 hours on it. Learned a quick lesson. Seat belt was on.

I've had my Kubota for thirty four years now, and have "rolled" it twice. Both times I wasn't wearing the seat belt, and kinda rolled out on the ground....thank God for the ROPS!! I shut the engine off immediately and righted the tractor as quickly as possible. No damage either time except the battery leaked acid and had to be cleaned up/replenished. My tires are filled with liquid which gives you more confidence on hills. One time my front tire found a hole the other my rear tire found a rock, which is all it takes when you're that close to the limit!!!

The most important thing is you are ok, stuff happens and to repeat previous comments...I'm glad you had your seatbelt on.

I’m glad you are ok buddy!

Glad you're ok & didn't get hurt other than maybe your pride. That's proof right there, seat belt & R.O.P.S. doing what they're meant to do. Stay safe.

Glad you are fine now just hope the tractor is the same.

Hi Kapper!, Yet to what you said, a low spot or dip unseen from the seat could cause tip over, I had it almost happen cycle bar mowing fence row for my brother in law with a Farmall M , that was just about caused a full blown pucker for me.

First of all, I'm glad you're ok and also glad you had the guts to post it. It's a good lesson for everyone. With ROPS up, wear your seat belt. Any idea how steep the slope was? The camera never shows it accurately, but when you were beside it, putting it in neutral, you could tell it was pretty steep.

Wow. Glad you survived. That could have ended way differently.

I have found (through personal experience) that it is much more difficult to get an even mowing when your tractor is in this position relative to earth... I suggest you refrain from repeating this action! (and I'm very glad you are ok...)

First of all thank God you weren't hurt! Second of all thank God I was not there! The second you went for the starter you would have been relieved of command. 60K straps are great, if you can get away with it never use a chain. Let that tractor sit with the glow plugs out of it, oil filter off and drain plug out. The next day try turning it over "manually" unhook power source. Live and learn, it's all we can do. I'm glad it happened slow and you didn't lose your head. Next time bring your arms to your chest. the wheel could turn with force and break limbs. Better yet no more next times! lol

That almost happened to me on a Ford 1700. I was shaping a sand trap with a Arps blade and got the tractor pointed straight up . At the last second I jammed on the left brake pedal and the tractor swung around to the left and back down on level ground. Thank God you are ok.

Man that sucks. Videos are decieving, but that doesn't look like a steep grade.

Get those tires water filled and eliminate this problem. It will lower your center of gravity and also when on a slope get that bucket as low as you can without fear of it hitting the ground. I grew up on a tractor mowing high walls in old strip pits put that bad boy in 2 wheel drive 1st gear and stomp the uphill brake to the floor while counter steering like your drifting a car.You want to run the hill with the tractor 45° to the direction of intended travel.

Like rod said it takes a man to show his mistake on you tube 👍🏽 Hopefully some will learn from this, and as far as starting that tractor up if there’s oil on top of a piston you could snap a rod you need to either pull the injectors out or the glow plugs if it has them and turn it over and let it squirt the oil out before it’s under compression to start

glad you are OK!!!

Joe I actually used a bulldozer to even out that area last weekend. It’ll be much safer and easier to maintain.

That rollover bar paid for itself 10,000 times over today. I had a friend in high school, he was mad because he wrecked his 4 wheeler and split his helmet open. I reminded him that would have been his head had it not been for the $50 helmet.

Then engine isn't seized, it rotated a short amount until it hydrolocked. If the engine starts with oil in the cylinders, it could bend or break a connecting rod. Wait 48 hours after uprighting the tractor to allow the oil to drain. Then crank the engine BACKWARDS by hand to check the rotation and feel if there is still any oil in the cylinders. If so, wait another 48 hours. If time is critical, just pull the head and clean the cylinders then re assemble and start.

Good luck on the engine-should be ok. Fingers crossed.

Good to see your ok and ya got tractor out. This may help you next time you mow. I may be wrong but from what I could see it looked like it might help if you let your top link out a little. The shredder should ride on the tail wheel before it rides on front skids. If you are on level ground try and adjust your mower and three point so that it sits level or tipped back just a hair and it won't scrape the ground. In turn it helps keep wieght on tractor. May or may not help. Just looked a little funny in video.
