Glad you are still with us, God just gave you an opportunity to witness to me (& others) & I’m appreciative of it. SO MANY times I could have been easily killed on the farm - one time I got 60+ ground hornet stings about 1.5 miles away from the house (also on a Sunday morning when I skipped Church) & I ran the whole way back with hornets in my ears & eyes & mouth gasping for air & nearly collapsed at the back door as I was swelling up so bad. Wife gave me a mouth full of Benadryl & took be to ER. Another time I got thrown onto frozen ground by a mad mama cow trying to band her calf…. Thank you for sharing & yes, God is Good!!!
Rear end ballast helps, loaded tires with 1000 lbs of wheel weights, or a similar block of concrete supported by angle iron behind the rear axle. I have an H, no loader but narrow front and have run these tractors for years no issues. Whatever weight you have up front you need about double that in back. Glad you lived to learn the lesson.
What a reminder. In 1967 my father rolled our H. The same loader doing the same job. Turning toward the spreader and raising the bucket. He went to church the next Sunday.
When you realize the loader rails are on your lap and the back tire is spinning nexttoyourhead , you reach out and grab a hand full of wires to shut it off. Yes that happened to me, sorry to share, glad you're all right. Broke my hip, 40 years ago ...
I thank God for saving you! I had a cousin years ago died from a tractor flipping over on him. Also glad you were able to keep jewel calm so she could help you.
I was trying to Drag some TREEs Out of Our Woods years ago and the JOHN-DEERE M.T. with Narrow-Front Brakes didn't work very well and County had recently ReDug the Ditch into a Deep-V shape and I was on Road and backed-up to edge of Ditch and Tractor didn't Stop and went into Ditch and I tried and tried to Drive it Up&Out but Tires would Spin at the Top of Ditch so Stupid-Me went in Reverse as far as would Go and then Jammed into higher Gear and Thing Flipped-Over in a second...Luckily the Exhaust-Pipe held Tractor Up just long-enuff' for Oil and Anti-Freeze to coat My Body and after few minutes I was able to Wriggle-Out🙏...Learned a GOOD-LESSON That Day👍
Immediately Subscribed when I saw the picture. My Grandfather bought a big Farmall Super M for his farm back in the 50s and my Mother had 5 Sisters and only one Brother and he was my most Favorite Uncle and had been operating that tractor since day 1. My Grandfather passed on in 1977 at 90 years old and my Uncle took over the farm and of course the tractor as well. The worse day in our Families History occurred in late fall 1980 when he was hauling firewood in a big trailer. He had stopped to load the last pile as it was getting dark and he failed to see that the rear utility bar was just behind a good sized stump. He climbed back on and as he pulled forward the tractor flipped backwards and he was instantly crushed to Death by the steering wheel. In the accident investigation we were all told that he never suffered because he died instantly. He was a very religious Man and I remember how his two Daughters cried for what seemed like Months and the oldest one was a Preachers Wife and she admitted to me years later that she was so Mad at God for taking her Father away from her. I do know that she finally forgave God for this and is doing okay now. It happens so fast people and each year in just the US about 130 people are killed in tractor rollovers including a Man I Loved and respected and I still miss him to this day.
So glad you are ok. Never could understand why tractor manufacturers were allowed to attach loaders to tricycle tractors. The whole concept has to be unstable from the start! Regards UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I ran equipment, ALL kinds and drove all size trucks for over 50 years and there are no telling the THOUSANDS of times the LORD kept me around. That's all I ever did from my teens right on. ARMY, Nam, chauffeurs license at 21, grandfathered in CDL, right on out. Retired now, Agent Orange but He still watches over me. God is MORE than good to all of us! Glad you're still here to tell the truth. God Bless ALL Yall!
Things go bad really fast. You are lucky, but you know that. Looking back, I think going to Church was a better option. Jk, thanks for reminding me of how easy it is to forget about things that can bite you, and not always things with teeth. God Bless you!
Your right so many people that flip over a tractor are not so lucky.... It is amazing the stupid stuff that happens on a tractor. Best to always think ahead of the worst things that can and could happen. four wheeled tractors is a must...tractor Romps roll bar a plus. Fire extinguisher a plus. Fore sight and knowledge a must....
I am glad you made it. Your wife is a keeper. I almost rolled a loader without an ROP. It was an old Ford (pre ROP). It scared me enough to be very cautious about turn speed and bucket height.
Thank God you are all right I have never had a tricycle front end but I heard a lot about them from my grandparents and my and the only thing they use them for is to pull a rake
Good thing your ok an i think your the first to survive that it’s impossible to survive like you turned the impossible to possible like your a legend now
A fella I grew up with, tipped a tractor over on him ,he was way back in the hills,it flipped, pinning him under it,soon fuel started running out,but he wanted a cigarette. But couldn't find a lighter,match.nothing,finally someone came found him,when they got him out and to the hospital,in his pockets were several lighters,,and matches.that guy survived a car crash,where him and the car slid upside down acrossed a bridge ,he had road rash over his entire back,legs arms,head,and refused to go to the hospital.
We're all glad you survived. However, ROPS arches work better than exhaust pipes (even "straight" exhaust pipes...) Shouldn't be difficult to retro-fit a proper ROPS. Remember, when depending on a ROPS to protect you, you MUST be wearing your seatbelt. A ballast box on the back (carried low) would make the trike more stable and at greater degrees of inclines. I understand why tricycle-gear tractors were popular: they turn in their own length (X2) but they scare me.... That's a sweet-lookin' "pooper-scooper" rig you have there.....Multiple-spears are infinitely superior to a standard bucket for this use.
Ive had a few close calls with farm equipment but not that close. That's why you live each day to the fullest. You truly never know when a freak accident can happen.
Lost a older neighbor who had a "A" john deere with a loader on. Had to plow with the loader arms up. Thought it gave him better traction till the plow hooked a rock . I dont think he had time to react .
PTL you are safe. Those are very dangerous tractors. But all equipment has it's vulnerabilities. I watched my Dad nearly get crushed by a Ford 8n that fell on top of him at the bottom of a ravine. Just wasn't his time. I was an adult but I screamed for him. I expect to find him dead but he just had a concussion.
That's why UK tractors have had to be fitted with roll bars since the early seventys. Even older tractors had to be fitted with one. Saved a lot of lives. How come the USA tractors don't have one.🤔🤔 Q Cabs became law from 1976 on all new tractors, except small garden tractors.
@@huwrichards9016we used 3 vintage farmalls and NONE had, or ever had ROPS protection installed, or available. Further more, I have NEVER even seen one with ROPS installed, either in use, or at any equipment show. So no, my friend, ROPS was never a requirement until recently in the last 40yrs, or so.
Used to curse the old tractors for being slow, looking back on it, I was damn lucky. The farm I worked on when, when I was a young kid, had a narrow front 400 farmall. I used to run it wide open pulling gravity boxes on gravel roads, it topped out at 22 mph and I wanted more. Once again, I was damn lucky.
One of the many reasons I don’t like narrow fronts. We had several tricycle (3 wheel) Oliver 70’s. And several employees broke hands and arms when they hit a furrow too fast. Subsequently Grandpop and Dad bought all the newer tractors with wide fronts. We never had a rollover with any tractor on our farm luckily.
@@bradjenkins932No.... it's the owner and there have been many. Narrow front tractors with loaders are a bad, bad idea. Almost everyone who hasn't rolled one, has a story about ALMOST doing it. If you need a loaded, you also need a wide front end.
Farms are more dangerous then they seem. In my little area, my father rolled his H with a loader because it was on a slight sideways slope. Luckily his brother yelled to jump as it started which was enough time for my father to manage to do it. My father's friend who had a farm up the road had his tractor drive over him (I forget the exact story) but luckily somehow only got a bunch of broken ribs I think. And a woman who works at our local livestock auction had her arm torn off by a PTO. It all seems safe until that split second when it goes wrong so fast.
When I was a kid a local man was killed when his super c with a loader over turned. The tractor was sold at the disbursement sale. The man who purchased it was kill a few years later by the same tractor.
I lost my cousin in an accident on his farm,his fiancee was at his side when it happened....complacency is natural...we all get that way but things can go real wrong,real fast.
My great uncle was killed when his tractor rolled over like that on his farm in Virginia in the early 1960s. I was a small boy, but I still recall going with my father and seeing it still there upside down. I am sure many farmers have suffered the same fate. You should give thanks to God and not skip church on Sundays.
Got to be careful. Bad idea to even put a loader on a tractor with a narrow front end. Heard of a lady with a 4020 John Deere flip backwards as she was backingdown a hill with a round bale on the forks. Last thing she ever did was hit the brakes making the tractor flip backwards. Her kids did find her!
Super H? When I was 11 my friend who was the same age was told to take a Massey Ferguson tractor and manure spreader over to the neighbors because their spreader was frozen. As he started down a steap curvey hill the tractor started to slide, jacket knifed and turned over on top of him. February 7th 1983.
Glad it worked out but your wife still should have called 911 as the jack may not have worked and they are equipped to lift equipment and you could have been injured way worse than you thought.
Old tractors have killed more men that jealous husbands, everybody who has been around them knows of someone either hurt or killed by one, after operating heavy equipment for over40 years my advice is to buy one with 4 wheel drive not so you don't get stuck but.when engaged you have 4 wheel brakes and.if you don't have too work in tight areas the bigger the tractor the more stable.
Know couple of ppl that rolled a 4wd wide front because they were running with the loader in the air. Not sure why ppl insist on running with the loader in the air thinking just because it’s a wide front it won’t roll. 🤷
I did similar thing 50 years ago on my BIL 1950s JD with narrow front end but I didn't get pinned, I jumped clear. I think narrow front ends on tractors is the worse design ever made, with weight on front they sink in soft ground quicker, with weight on back end the front comes off ground easier, I see no practical reasons for narrow front end on tractor. Today I would never own a tractor with narrow front and also would have some sort of ROPs on it........... ((((14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: 15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.}}}}
I've come close with my wd, original controls for hydraulics bucket was always going up or down(worn out controls) Ive put new modern controls on now so I've got precise control.
This is what happens when you get these people that move out and get 20 acres or 10 acres of land and think they're a bunch of farmers are going to use this old equipment and not know what they are doing
That is farmall super c with a Wagner front end loader. I have one and it tipped over twice and both times was quick enough to eject backwards and not get pinned
@adamswindyridgefarmer4804 that'd be tough to do. My dad told me about when they'd bale hale on a very steep hill. Axles all the way out on the 400. You'd need a lot of force to break them axles.
There was a guy back in the day who rolled an IH tractor and was pinned. He scratched his will into the fender with his pocket knife. Unfortunately he didn't make it. They removed the fender and brought it into court and the will held up. The fender is now in a legal museum This is a story from 2013 ""SASKATOON - This year marks the 65th anniversary of the infamous “tractor fender will,” where the dying wishes of a Saskatchewan farmer were etched into the side of a tractor as he lay pinned underneath. “In case I die in this mess I leave all to the wife. Cecil Geo Harris” - those 16 words formed a case precedent for lawyers the world over and is commonly used as an example in law textbooks on wills and estates. “It’s just a very unusual will and because of the circumstances under which it was written it’s attracted worldwide attention,” said lawyer and writer Geoff Ellwand. On June 8, 1948 Cecil George Harris became pinned under his tractor on a farm near Rosetown, Sask. Fearing he may not survive he used his pocket knife to scratch the will onto the tractor’s fender.""
Many farmers did loose their lives with those narrow front end, or tricycle farmalls. My grandfather's farm we had 3, an H, an M, and a super M with a bucket. Your property looks pretty level from what can be seen in the video, but I have lifted drive tires many times pulling a hay wagon on a side hill using the H
Wow you are lucky to be alive. That tractor is a death trap Go get a compact 4x4 with a ballast weight in the back....I know they are expensive but you will live a lot longer.
yep,…freedom, but with responsibility. God allows things to happen to draw his people to him. Read through the Old Testament about the Israelites. They were God’s chosen people,…but he allowed them to go into exile so that they would draw near to him. I guarantee you that this story has led people to confess Jesus as their Lord and believe in their hearts that He was raised from the dead.
an interesting story we had to Twins International m ther were my twin uncle's tractors to they were on their way to cut and bale the first cutting minutes apart both were killed by gravel trucks to make t right turn into a field go t-bone kill him down the road my other uncle was male the left turn to got t-bone too not mush protection on that tractor too ot safely to speed was the factor of the accident the police said
Perfect example as to why a rops is a good investment

“It’s just a very unusual will and because of the circumstances under which it was written it’s attracted worldwide attention,” said lawyer and writer Geoff Ellwand.
On June 8, 1948 Cecil George Harris became pinned under his tractor on a farm near Rosetown, Sask.
Fearing he may not survive he used his pocket knife to scratch the will onto the tractor’s fender.""
Glory to God. Lucky guy.
Many farmers did loose their lives with those narrow front end, or tricycle farmalls. My grandfather's farm we had 3, an H, an M, and a super M with a bucket. Your property looks pretty level from what can be seen in the video, but I have lifted drive tires many times pulling a hay wagon on a side hill using the H
That spot is pretty level. Thanks for watching.
wide front tractor has killed more people than narrow wheels all your stabilization comes from the two back wheels wide or narrow wheels

PRAISE THE LORD!
Wow sir
Tricycle gear tractor…..an accident waiting for the opportunity to happen. 😐
It would have been smarter to did you out. What if she jacked it up and then jack came out from under the tractor?
Is it a 3 wheel tractor and a front-end loader? .
Yes it was now it has a wide front end
Man that is lucky
Good day 2 rules , go to church & only do necessary work. Good for u
Wow you are lucky to be alive. That tractor is a death trap Go get a compact 4x4 with a ballast weight in the back....I know they are expensive but you will live a lot longer.
Sounds to me the exhaust pipe saved you.
Been there done that.
Why do people god saved them if he is looking out for you he would not let it happen in the first place
It's free will
yep,…freedom, but with responsibility. God allows things to happen to draw his people to him. Read through the Old Testament about the Israelites. They were God’s chosen people,…but he allowed them to go into exile so that they would draw near to him. I guarantee you that this story has led people to confess Jesus as their Lord and believe in their hearts that He was raised from the dead.
Gods not done with you yet. i almost tipped my tractor over sideways one time with a bucket of dirt
Would be safer with a wide front tractor
Right after the accident I put a wide front in under it thanks for watching.

Bucket lower
Need a tractor without a single axle front end
