The first thing to worry about is your brakes and getting it stopped. You don't want a run away. The second tip is, lower your stabilizer on the down hill side if you're a "little" afraid of tipping over. The third tip is, if you're "worried" you might tip over, move your hoe boom and dipper over to the uphill side. This shifts your weight as long as the road bed is sound. I often lower the boom and extend the stick so the bucket is at 10 o'clock more than ten feet from the tractor. As mentioned, keep your loader bucket low. This lowers your center of gravity and comes in handy if your brakes don't hold. Wear your seat belt and make sure your seat post is secured to the cab floor. If you get thrown out of the seat, you risk getting crushed when the tractor rolls over. If you are secured to the seat and the seat doesn't come loose, you will likely avoid crush injuries. I have a friend who went over on his side. The tip over was so slow he just stepped out of the ROPS on the high side as it went over.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
