Hired man was chopping corn stubble with a flail chopper on a side hill. He stopped near the top for a quick nature stop in the adjacent woods and left the tractor idling. Apparently ballast sloshing in the rear tires was enough to start the tractor rolling. It turned downhill and took off.
The outfit made it about 2/3 of the way down when the front wheels dropped into a dip. Tractor (Super M) did a forward somersault taking the chopper with it. It then did a couple barrel rolls before coming to rest with the wheels up. Fortunately the hired man was in the woods with his pants around his ankles when the tractor took off - he emerged unhurt. But seeing the tractor roll scared the boss half to death.
The tractor needed a new front bolster, radiator, rear axle/wheels, steering shaft, seat, battery box, etc. But it was back in service a few weeks later.
