If the "bad conditions" of a little rain was all it took to roll the roll the tractor and avoid killing somebody just by luck.
This rig was being operated on the previous 400+ bales way past it's safety margin.
Just because a loader can pickup 2000lb before the hydraulic relief valve opens. It doesn't make it safe to operate carrying a 2000lbs load.
E.G. a 500 ton crane can lift 500 tons when the boom is nearly vertical. Yet that same 500 ton crane will roll over picking up 100 tons even with a full set of counter weights.Even with the stabilizers out and down if the boom reach is too far.
You guys have just been living on luck way past safe capacity ,operating on the edge of roll over conditions.Just didn't know or understand it.
