never done IT ,, and hope I never do ,,, but has anyone lived to tell about it,, lookin at the ihc 403 with hi center of gravity looks like a good candidate to roll on its side on our hills here in southern ind ,, I recall as a kid a fella with a massey 300 refused to go on a slope at dads place,,and another fella on a jd 40 was nervous as can be there ,, there was a hi school coach that would combine that 2 acre slope with a oliver at a safe angle just fine ... all a matter of how you approached it , lots of times I have slip sided into the next row with the 300 massey full , slick on top and froze underneath., that same 300 instantly blew a cab tire in the corn field one nite ,( Best I Can Figure a corn stalk GOTTHE VALVE STEM ),I was on fairly level ground , full grain tank , and was makin a rite turn to unload.. the auger just mist the roof of the truck when all dust cleared .,makes me wonder what woulda happened on one of those steep slopes /// I saw a clip on you tub.when a combine rolled in washinton Palouse area . but in these parts ,.I have never seen or heard of a machine rollin over while harvestin ,,heard of few that missed bridge or went thru and flipped into the creek ,, but, that was over 30yrs ago ,,got a new bridge there now ..,,,now fellas I have stood my massey 300 on its nose going down hill in a field more than once with a empty grain tank,, and in that same area , learned a wild lesson while backing up the gleaner f , with a four row head and nearly full grain tank,. kinda funny ,now ,,nephew was in the cab , I was on the rail ,.. he stopped for a plug,, raised the head , and stabbed reverse to aid it to clear , the gleaner tipped and started to back out from under the load on its nose , , whooahh baby !,, james stomped the clutch and she settled rite back down on all 4 wheels ,,..
