I know a guy who a short time after getting a tractor with a loader he did that same thing with it. He fill the bucket with rocks and then drove it with the bucket as high as it would go along a hill side
 
I had a friend when I was a teenager who worked at a fertilizer business. He got a heaping bucket of fertilizer, backed out in the center alley, straightened the front wheels and the momentum of the load flopped the tractor on its side. The owner fired him before he got up off of the floor.

I think of the forces that flipped him every now and then. We learn from the mistakes of others if we're lucky.
 
I don't know how I learned to keep the bucket as low as possible. Young people back in my day just figured it out. Kids now days don't just know that stuff. They have to be taught. Nobody taught your friend. So who's fault is it really?
 
(quoted from post at 15:25:48 11/16/22) I would have fired him to prevent him from killing himself or someone else.

Dunno if firing him was a good idea or not, after that bit of ''on the job training'' he might have been the safest employee around!
 


I knew a young guy who was working driving a big wheel loader in a quarry. He had the face of a big stock pile come down on him. It didn't cover the loader but it pushed it back pretty strongly. They fired him right away. What kind of a bucket is that on the loader? I don't recall seeing anything like that before.

It appears to be a Hi-dump type bucket attachment, used to gain dump height.

Yes! Now I remember seeing an article or an eval or an advertisement for that. Thanks.
