Looks like it might have gone over sideways instead of an endo. Just a thought.

Look at the tread on the back wheels. The tractor did not roll over sideways due to narrow front, it flipped in place because the back wheels are still pointing in the direction he was going. Point this out to the other forum to as I was not able to get registered.

I was thinking of the narrow-front Deere with the hay bale on the loader. There was a place of dead grass, etc. on the ground where it looked like the bale had sat for a while just alongside where the bale ended up thus it suggested a sideways flip. The tractor tire tread direction is a good point, but that is no guarantee.

To help visualize: If you take your rear wheels off and swap sides with them, the tire tread will be backwards. If you roll your tractor over upside down, rolling sideways, the tire tread will be backwards. In the picture, the tractor tire tread would look in the same direction whether the tractor was rolled sideways or was rolled backwards.

It looks to me like the bale is just a few feet from where it was picked up by the marks on the ground and bale where it had been laying on the ground. That says sideways to me and the bale has spun 90 Deg on the loader too.

These type accidents happen all the time. Strangely its always newbees and old timers that get hurt/killed. No ofense meant to any age, I'm considered old timer.
There been many scientific tests to see how this stuff happens. Take a look. You may agree or disagree it makes no difference to me.

I am a great believer in ROPS and seat belts. The last two tractors I bought didn't have them at first, but I soon corrected that. The first tractor, a White I couldn't get a factory ROPS, so I designed and fabricated one (I'm an angineer by trade so I could do this honestly). the second one, a Deere I was able to get a ROPS and it already had a seat belt.
