I think the main reason you see so many Nh machines on farms is because farmers tend to deal at farm equipment dealers... so NH, Deere and Gehl are or were readily available in that market. NH's were quite popular for industrial work down here because our dealer was also an industrial supplier. Lots of contractors were familiar with him and in the yard all the time... so the machines were there and he sold a bunch of them. There's still quite a bunch around even tho the dealer is gone 5 years or more now and some contractors make a point of buying NH skid steers. I don't think it's because they're cheaper or inferior. I know if I was buying another I'd go to a NH dealer that I'm familiar with before I'd go searching at ALPA or Liftow for something else, even if they had what I wanted...
As far as tipping goes... I'd much rather tip forward with a load. You can always drop the bucket or thrust the levers ahead to come out of it. If you're going backwards... you're pretty much at the mercy of Mr. Newton and his laws. I've stood this one on it's back door a few times when it was newer while backing downhill empty. I'll take a forward plunge over that any day... The last incident I remember clearly... leaning ahead as far as the belt would let me while driving the boom down, just to move the balance point ahead that little bit while the machine balanced between it's rear wheels and it's duck arse...

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
