Yes very easy flip one of these units. Around home everybody arond home one of these units "A , 100 or 140" to cultivate tamatoes and cucumbers for the small local caneries.

I was a little guy back in the 1965/66 when one of my older brothers set the 100 over in the lane at home. Not much damage just banged up sheet metal and a headlite And my brother had jumped off and got away with only his nerves shaken up. A cousin did a similar thing turning on a headland to fast cultivating tomatoes.He jumped as well and only got his nerves rattled.

It seams to me they always kept a wheel weight and calsium on the right rear wheel to help counterweight the tractor. Were pretty flat here in Essex County Ontario but still they did manage to flip one of these units now any they. No fatalities that I recall but the one thing there was usualy speed and sharp turns that caused it.

Good luck and be safe.
