Been "scared" a few times. Funny thing is you don't really feel scared until afterwards when you realize the seriousness of the situation you just escaped. I've tipped two narrow front end tractors on thier sides raising the loaded bucket to high. It all happens in slow-motion. I just stood up as they tilted, steped on the back tire and launched myself away from the tractor. Only too look back and see it there spinning around on it's back wheel. kinda funny actually. Also tipped a skid loader BACKWARDS while loading hay. Kinda feel helpless in that situation although the ROPS kept me safe and sound there. I've had the front end of our 930 case off the ground so many times pulling a 2 point plow or my dad's combine out of the mud I'm almost used to it. Lots of power and weight to be messing with. Guys has to learn to keep his head and be smart. Only takes one booboo and your work'n the ground from the bottom up.
