I was reading tractorhead's tragic post about his friend Bob. Got me to thinking about when I bought my MTA and all the horror stories everybody told me and how I barely touched the thing for the first year I owned it. I use it now for cutting and square baling and pulling the wagons full of hay back and forth. I never use it on steep hills or to pull stumps or stuck cars, etc. It has never had the front wheels come off the ground. All those comments about tractors going over "in a wink" are pretty scary.
Can this happen in low gear? How does something like that happen? I've had a utility with a loader for 15 years and it is pretty tippy but this narrow front farmall feels real solid to me.
Any tips on this subject?
