Thankfully no serious injuries. Was driving to work, came over a little hill and 1/2 mile ahead on the opposite side of the road saw a County tractor & disc mower mowing near a large culvert embankment, my first thought was man he's steep and just that fast over it went. Pulled over, stopped & ran across the road, as I approached it took a few seconds to see any movement in the cab which was unsettling, then I saw the operator was struggling to get to the high side door, I shouted to ask if he was ok & then asked if he needed help with the door. I had to try and climb on the tractor from the high side get some footing to hold open the door as the tractor was more than 90 degrees over due to the steep incline. The operator was then able to climb out and we were able to climb back to the top of the embankment, he had some blood on his forehead and I asked again if he was ok, he seemed more mad at himself than anything, I know the guy a little and he's an older experienced operator who maybe just got caught pushing it a little too far, thankfully this life lesson didn't end as bad as it could have.

Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
