Rollover Angle of a FE35

Anybody care to hazard a guess as to the angle at which a FE35 will roll?

I do also have a loader on the front which will be fairly low (I would guess that the centre of gravity has been raised a little), and in general I would be either ripping, or ploughing at the time.

Hello, Jon -

An excellent question, and I've never seen a definitive answer.

I've always taken the approach that if it feels too steep from the tractor seat it probably is. And so far, I've been fortunate.

The kicker is that it takes only a small bump under the high wheel to flip you over, especially with the bucket in a higher position. Slow ground speed is essential.

Loaded rear tires help substantially to lower the centre of gravity. I see also that Bare-co has roll bars listed for these old girls, as added insurance.

Appreciate it if you could find the price on a set for the 35, and post it.

Jack

Jack,

I have rollover protection already - its mandatory for tractors in Australia, but funnily enough seat belts are not. I get worried when I'm at a fairly low angle.

Do you still want the price of the ROPS?

P.S.

Moving the rear wheels to wider spacing will also improve side-hill stability.

Jack
