For those of you who park their tractors outside in the winter months in places where it gets down below freezing, you might want to consider using reverse gear and backing up when you first move your tractors. There have been cases of folks being killed when their tires were froze to the ground and they started up going forward. With the rear wheels locked to the ground the tractor reacts by raising the the front end up so that it ends up on its back. Without a ROPS, you could end up seriously injured. You have to be pretty quick to realize what is happening and chopping the throttle or stomping on the clutch pedal to stop it. So if it's below freezing at night put the tractor in reverse and break the wheels free first. Don't be an accident statistic .
