In Reply to: Tractor Flips Over posted by CGID on December 14, 2013 at 20:11:57:
Pulling things with a fixed drawbar (original) will almost always stop going up before total flip. a fast hitch farmall with a implement attached can't go over due to the rigidity of the connection. a properly attached 3 point system is also pretty imune from flipping. Most have the lift arms farther rearward than the wheel diameter, and limit upward travel physically. Unless the top link is a chain it too prevents flipping. There were tractors that were considered "Killers". They were eventually fixed with fenders that acted like wheelie bars. Fordson was one of the most villified. Any high attachment to the tractor near the axle front to back, and high from the ground (especially at or above the axle is very problematic. If you attach to a standard drawbar, and use it as designed there is no worry of that happening. I have been pulling as hard as the tractor can make power, and had the plow catch rocks and roots that stopped it cold. It can get the front up, but it is controllable. first time operators should be driving doing light load operations and practice enough control movement and pedal operations that it is instinctive to get it stopped. You will find your clutch foot hovering near pedal contact for the first 50 hours of operation no matter what. as the tractor begins to bog, you will touch the pedal (but not push on it) in anticipation of such a move.
