Pictures don’t always show, but it doesn’t even look that steep there. Wheels are set in narrow tho.

That bank looks a little high. Could be he was crossing on to the road.

It looks like the mower was scalping the ground just before it went over. There must be a deep little hole there.

I agree with showcrop, looking across the road there
in some terrain changes in that area. As we all know
sometimes pictures don’t show things as clearly as
eye view.

Looks like it might have been an old
cotton picker high crop conversation.
Big front wheel, can't see if it has drop
axles on my phone screen, but LP might
indicate a cotton harvester. Might know
a little more about it when I get the
puzzle done.

Nope, not a hi-crop. Too much slope.

There may be a ground hog dirt mound out of the picture that raised the rear wheel combined with a hole in the ditch. Travel speed might have factored in. The rear wheels seem narrower than most.

Rustred, Oh really? Any wide front that I have ever been involved with will let the rear come up pretty high before the front axle hits the stop, and if on a side slope by that time the stop may not be able to help. I have been farming with three NFEs for over thirty years and have been involved with three near rollovers, one of which where I was driving. All with wide fronts none with narrow.

I bet he ran off the road and tipped.

Maybe mowing along with the right rear in the low ditch, left rear on the high ground, mower blade "high centers" on the ridge, driver raises the mower with 3pt lift, no stabilizers for the mower or stabilizer chain breaks from heavy side load, and mower tips the tractor. It happened fast in slow motion. Good looking tractor.
.. Musta been a Monday.

We have got both an H and M both set for 30 inch rows. Or 60 inch centers on the rear tires. Never tipped them yet. Been around the H since new or I was new. The M came along a bit later. Our 574 with loader and bucket not over about 3 feet off the ground has been closer to tipping over than the others. That is a wide front and utility model.

well i know a triangle will will tip over before a square. why do cranes use out riggers then? so they dont tip over. nobody can convince me
a narrow front is as safe as a wide front.

Rustred, until the axle hits the stop a wide front is pivoting on a two inch wide pin. A NFE tractor has a 16 inch wide stance. I am not saying that an NFE is less likely yo tip over. What I am saying is that people that are new to tractors should not be told to stick with wide front because a NFE will tip over and a wide front won't.

I tipped my tractor on its side when working too close to the edge of a drainage ditch and the edge caved in. Wide front did not stop it.
