Yup. Totally worth watching, my little girl said, dad why did he drive with the bucket so high up? All I could think was, even adults make mistakes baby. Thanks for sharing. Lol
No it's called this is what happens when ya have 100% hand controls and all track carriage because the weight distribution is all toward the back and low. This would not of happened if ya had 50/50 hand and foot controls and wheels with tracks. Better bucket control and weight distribution is more even from front to rear. I hate track cats there slow and Hazzardus as you can see here.
@@jeromyw385xp Bullshit it is not the controls. Nor is it weight distribution. Foot controls is almost as unevenly weighted as hand you dwit. And your a complete child if you think track is worse than wheels. Wheels are so much more unstable and are only usefull for hard ground and hoping into a dump truck. You can finesse hand controls way easier than feet that is just a fact. It is called learn how the fuck to operate the machine you are in with the controls it has. Dude had absolutely zero control over that machine the entire time. You can flip anything if your stupid enough and the probability of you flipping weels with foot controls is way higher. I hope your not operating heavy machinery because your delusional.
Thanks for having the courage to share your video. Since owning my own Bobcat for 15 years, I have learned to respect the potential power and danger of operating this machine. At the beginning, I had a tip forward (downslope), because I raised the bucket too much before dumping. I also had a tip (backwards) going up a hill without a bucket / forks. Since then, I think more about the weight distribution to avoid another incident.
Or learn how to drive it. I do some wild stuff with mine and none of the skids I've owned or operated have flipped over. Neither have all the other types of equipment I've operated. Learn the machine first and foremost and go slow and methodical when you're learning.
this guy rented this machine from me and i had to go get it. i took a t180 and a set of fork and up righted it and the mechanic took out the injectors and cleared it out and put them back in and she started up. loaded it and hit the road. this guy did the right thing and shut it off in 6 seconds and it saved the engine. he did a good job. most would not have done that fast enough. simple mistake .
I had used it for 3 days with no problems. While backing down the hill the heel of my foot rested on the peddle that raised the bucket. It was gravity putting my heel on the peddle, I didn't even know where the bucket was. Of course I knew very well not to raise the bucket. I had dug a 4' hole with it and never had a problem.
I have studied this video for a while now because I too noticed that if I'm not paying attention and am lifting the boom while reversing, I can forget to stop lifting the boom while I continue in reverse. I suddenly think what the hell am I doing! I have not flipped one, but I know it's certainly possible. This video is really the best tutorial for what a bobcat is capable of when the bucket is high. And, for the benefits of wearing that seat belt. Thanks for sharing.
if its ISO controls, there's no reason to do this at all.... unless you have 0 experience running a machine of course. raising it just above eye level to see your work is different but maxing the hydraulics out to reverse is damn near idiotic if you run machines
@@mindman1234these older machines have foot pedals I’ve been driving joysticks and foot pedal skid steer and every time in in the foot pedal I do exactly what the comment says if I’m not careful lol

@@ctdieselnutthat rental insurance is a joke. I think it's for total loss only but you're responsible for damages.

Of course there is going to be a lot of negative comments on here. Just because people try and do things on there own and try to learn and make mistakes as they go there is the hotheads who think they are the only ones that should do it all. Relax people...and good for you John for getting out there.
That's why it's a safety manual. If this idiot would have read it before operating the equipment this would not have happened. Could have killed himself or worse kill someone else cause of his stupidity
I have had my bobcat 21 yrs, never even came close to this. Never hardly drove one before. To do all this stuff that wrong, makes you realize how clueless some folks are. I stay scared, and ask experienced people, if I am that clueless.
This is what happens when you have an operator that is used to foot and hand controls and switches to joystick controls. The operator pulls back on BOTH joysticks as he would with older model steering controls. But instead this raises the bucket to it's highest point while also reversing.
When an idiot with no clue runs a machine. That was purely someone that had no experience. Anyone with experience would have kept it low before moving. Then if they had dine as you said only raised it to eye level at most and not rolled it.
Love how your just assuming what happened you must have some experience with this exact thing. lmfao learn how to operate a machine no matter what the controls are.
Almost did this recently and I have run skid steers a few years. I thought a tree tried to come in the cab for a second and for whatever reason kept my left heel down and raised my bucket way too high. My right foot saved me by tilting the bucket down. People should be taught panic drills - in a bobcat toes forward is a good reflex on an incline.
Right same thing happened to me before dragged tree came right in the cab door almost crushed my chest. Now I drag logs pretty much on the ground Stuff happens sometimes as long as we learn from it and noone gets hurt
Too funny 😂 at least the engine didn’t run away and start running off the engine oil 😂 like what happened to me :))) the sound is like a jet engine on steroids:)))
I work with it for 2 days and I knew not to raise the bucket too high. Backing down, my heel was resting on the, bucket raise switch so I had no idea where the bucket was. I did dig a 4 foot hole with the bobcat and lived to talk about it
Saw this happen the other way with a load of gravel in the bucket, it landed on a concrete worker and almost killed him. He was hospitalized for a very long time.
Im a rental mechanic and this happens more often than Id like. He forgot he was still raising the boom and just laid into reverse. there was no reason to keep lifting, but it just kept going the whole time he was backing up. Best case scenario is I go out and flip the machine over and the customer nurses their bruised pride. Worst case is the customer is hurt and the engine needs new con-rods because the engine hyro-locks on its inverted oil supply before its shut down.......Ive got a wall of bent rods in my shop......so yea, worst case is the usual outcome.
I'm surprised they don't have tip sensors that shut the motor off, they've been standard in atvs / motorcycles for a while now. Those machines are so expensive you'd figure they would add one.
@@thehampsteadboys3713 There was a long section of highway along the Ohio River while traveling though WV where I think if I had run off the road the power lines would've come through my windshield. There's places where it can happen and definitely around houses or farms where overhead lines run to a house or barn.
Glad your not hurt and able to walk away. How did not not see the bucket going up, you were looking right at it. Some one more experienced would have felt the tip and not stopped backing up. I knew that you did not have many hours under your belt when you slung dirt on your self at the start of the video.
Every time I see this kind of rollover the operator has their boom too far up and as they start to go over they freeze causing the rollover. If they keep the boom low and if they were to of kept reversing they would of been fine.
Saw this happen once but the opposite way. Fell on the front with bucket all the way up. Operator was a heavy set guy and couldn’t get the safety bar raised up over his gut. It was hilarious trying to get him out.
Not real hard to do. Many many people have done this. My father in law flipped ours. I’ve flipped my Kubota BX23S before, onto its side anyway. Glad you weren’t hurt and walked away. It’s just a machine, it can be fixed much easier than you can.
Bobcat? Aren't the engines in sideways instead of being in straight?? CAT! Sold out to Korea years ago. I had an M500. Dig work on it Dig work on it.NO ROLL CAGE!!! Scarey
I just completed a safety training in Bobcat. When Empty the Bobcat has 70% 30% Load distribution (70% is on the back wheels) when loaded the ration flips to front, In the video they show why it is designed that way -- They show - A man standing flat on his foot and trying to rotate his feet - The man then stands on his heel (lfts his toe, you know what I mean) and rotates his feet he can do that easily, - A man stands on his toe and lifts his heel and rotates his feet, he can do that easily - that $195 was worth it...
I have a cat skid steer yay for joy sticks, move the stick back bucket go up push the stick bucket go down move stick right bucket crown up move stick left bucket empties. Simple right foot for throttle.
direction on bocats its with derapage so stability is very good if you keep boom like one metter up but never slamed it up with force when you reversing, its fizic, speed increase mass..bobcats its simple but complicate as well also huge tracks increase stability, in this case to roll over is only with a move of idiot like this on ein video
They're not rear heavy, per se. The weight of the boom being so high raised the front of his tracks, plus he was backing up into a decline. Center of gravity issues are the main culprits in rolling these over.
I saw how hard your head whipped back, thank god you didn't get a head injury. Was there a headrest or just plenty of room so your head didn't hit steel.
So I'm curious. Once he flipped it, if he had lowered the bucket, would it have continue to roll on over and come up on its tracks? It looked like it might have been enough of a slope for it.....might have been rough ride. I rolled my JD tractor on its side once, due to raising a full bucket too high and moving forward with the one front wheel going up over a stone. That was on level ground. It didn't take much and once is more than enough. I'm a lot more careful on inclines and hillsides since. My skidsteer has tires rather than tracks and we've only had it a year or so. Having less experience with it, I'm less confident and more apprehensive than with the tractor. My son (37) runs the skidsteer most of the time.
The picture of inexperience. I'm thinking he was not used to foot controls, didn't realize boom was still raising, and had no clue as to what a raised boom on that slope was about to do to him. Maybe,... now he knows better.
good way to get dirt out of those hard to reach areas in floor.

BIG MIKE he didn’t do the right thing the right thing would have been not putting the bucket as high as it will go while backing down a slight hill
Reversing and dropping arm simultaneously would have eliminated the chance of tipping over
I paid for insurance but it still cost me over $1,000 and I don't know why.

One of two ways to get all the dirt out of those hard to reach places. The other being catching a curb when plowing snow

Why did you feel the need to raise the bucket all the way up

That was slick.
It’s common sense for people that know how gravity works not to raise the bucket that high while backing down a hill
Obviously, n I think it was mainly an operator error
I think he got the controls confused. Though that was the drive stick
Proper triaing is critical. In anything you do, especially heavy equipment.
Safety First!! Never drive down a hill backwards with your boom up!!
Omg i am so sorry it could happen 2 any1 im glad 2 c that you were ok. God bless you hope the machine was alright 2
Can't wait to see the next trick!
Lol , must have been them bobcat controls.
Haha 🤣 ua-cam.com/video/zABUcJ81_Mg/v-deo.html
I'm glad you weren't on my old Melroe!
Usually one keeps the bucket low when they are working on a slope.
should have spent as much time practicing as he did setting up his camera
That's why you're not an operator. Just a driver.
Mr. George. He no good operator.😂 seriously hope you were alright make it a one and done experience
I still repeatedly shouted "NO NO NO NO NO!" as it rolled knowing full well it was going to happen

also huge tracks increase stability, in this case to roll over is only with a move of idiot like this on ein video
I hear the bobcats are back heavy and easy to flip like that on an incline. Even with the stability of the tracks that unit still went over.
i'm crazy bobcat user i've used just about every bobcat from 2000-2014 and the t110 is one of the most stable track loaders in its class range
this was rented in my country and i talked with the dealer ship and they said the operated forgot that his foot was on the arm backing up
are you stupid? if they werent back heavy how would they counter-balance their load?
trevor garrett Ha, not sure how one can "forget". Take a bit of work to use the pedal controls.
You must be as dumb as the drive. You never lift the bucket as high as he did.
lol all that was missing was the MOOOO like in cars with tractor tipping! 🤣
I laughed waaaaay too hard on this!
😂😂😂😂
Makes me wanna try lol 😆 ua-cam.com/video/zABUcJ81_Mg/v-deo.html
Note to self; never back up down hill with bucket elevated.
The guy looks really surprised.😂
Next time someone asks to borrow my skid this video will pop up in my mind
With the boom up too high, creates a larger moment which resulted in unwanted rotation when he slowed in the backwards movement.
I've had some close calls with rental skid steers. Now I never move the skid steer unless the bucket is super low to the ground.
This is why we "Do Not Rent Skid Steers" to an inexperienced person.
That sure makes it easy to find the oil drain plug!
Drain plug is in the back orange door not underneath
That's the "hard way" to learn how rear heavy Bobcats are!
They're not rear heavy, per se. The weight of the boom being so high raised the front of his tracks, plus he was backing up into a decline. Center of gravity issues are the main culprits in rolling these over.
...leverage makes the world go 'round
After I saw what climbed out of the machine, I wasn’t surprised anymore.
Rookie , alway s keep the bucket as low as you can.
😆🤣 Best fit the Stabilisers
That was cool!!!!!!
I dare say most bobcat accidents involve the bucket being sky high.
I come close to tipping every time I drive the bobcat at work
On the bright side the dirt in the gears in the tracks came free!
Real racing and so funny to see that
When richard hammond operates skid steer/ctl 🤣🤣🤣
That's why I always make sure I lower my bucket when reversing it almost happened to me that's why I'm very careful with my skid steer
I came here for the comments and they did not disappoint. BUT nobody mentioned the working in Hawaiian shirts.....
this is exactly why you always buy Bobcats in pairs
A great ad for only renting or buying New Holland skid steers, they won't roll backwards
I saw how hard your head whipped back, thank god you didn't get a head injury. Was there a headrest or just plenty of room so your head didn't hit steel.
That escalated quickly
That was funny do it again
I hope the machine is ok .
That really rings your bell, doesn't it?
Its even worse when you roll sideways off a hill. Ouch.
Never let a friend drive your bobcat😂😂😂
Lol 😆 ua-cam.com/video/zABUcJ81_Mg/v-deo.html
So I'm curious. Once he flipped it, if he had lowered the bucket, would it have continue to roll on over and come up on its tracks? It looked like it might have been enough of a slope for it.....might have been rough ride.
I rolled my JD tractor on its side once, due to raising a full bucket too high and moving forward with the one front wheel going up over a stone. That was on level ground. It didn't take much and once is more than enough. I'm a lot more careful on inclines and hillsides since. My skidsteer has tires rather than tracks and we've only had it a year or so. Having less experience with it, I'm less confident and more apprehensive than with the tractor. My son (37) runs the skidsteer most of the time.
It's as if he was trying to fuck up. Or never took a physics class.
I don’t always send it but when I do I always have the bucket all the way in the air
Hold my beer
The picture of inexperience. I'm thinking he was not used to foot controls, didn't realize boom was still raising, and had no clue as to what a raised boom on that slope was about to do to him. Maybe,... now he knows better.
Glad it's a rental
So others may live.
Thank you
new operator
Nice .
First day in a rented bobcat but he did clean out the tracks.
