Even if you know what you are doing you can still have a accident.I grew up on a 22 MH rakeing hay all around the neighbor hood. Never had a close call. The rake was a 3pt.hitch JD rake. It was almost impossiable to keep the the front wheels on the ground. I have a 21 MH just like the 22. I turned it over with a brush hog on it 50 feet from my front door. I over looked a boom pole in the weeds that I had set there. I was watching behind me when I felt the tractor start to come up,but I missed the clutch.I was on a 2% sloap. I jumped and got luckey. The tractor landed on its top pinning my legs under the fender,the tractor was running,brush hog blade turning about a foot from my head.I couldnt reach the key and it finally ran out of gas. tried to wiggle out from under it and my back was up tight against a 3/8s electric fence post. I was real lucky as all that I had wrong was some bruised leggs. Wasent no need to go to doc.Two weeks later set the tractor back up and started it up. fixed the sterring wheel and cut grass with it. Luck was with me all the way around.Since then I came close to turning a d 8 over on a rockey slope.I had enough dirt on the lower side of me that when i slide down the slope the dirt birm kept it from going all the way over. I try to be carefull but sometimes things just happen.I have been on eqt all my life but that dosent make me immune from mishaps. Sory for the long post but try not to be to over confident. Lucky sam
