I laid my H over on its side one time, front loader carrying a heavy rock too high on a slope, flopped right down. Stood it back up, only damage was one of the front rims. Keep the bucket low.

A bit more scary even though there was no wreck was going down a hill pulling a baler/wagon combo; engine wasn't holding it back so I touched the brakes and the rear wheels just started slipping. Fortunately it was a short way to the bottom so I didn't have a runaway. But I did learn that stopping a tractor with too much of a load can be as dangerous as trying to start one.
