Here is the video of a tractor flipping ua-cam.com/video/V8F-Y2w_3eo/v-deo.html
I grew up using tractors when I was a kid, but I just finished a long career in the Army. Now retired, I bought my first tractor about 8 months ago. Learning as I go. I just got my first rotary cutter last week, and this video really gave me some pointers. I was mowing my road side access, and there is a small drainage ditch there, and it got fairly steep. I was able to "common sense" my way through it, but not knowing what I don't know, is dangerous. It's input / content like this that really helps us new tractor owners out. Thanks for great content! Subscribed!
Hey thanks buddy! I'm glad this video helped. Also thank you for your service!! 🇺🇲
@@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse America is worth it!
@Darth_DMack amen brother!
Excellent tips young man! Especially the roll bars and seat belt.... hand in hand. One without the other is trouble.
We had a middle age man have his tractor flip over on him... Thankfully by God grace, the man had his cell phone on him and he could call for help!! I have know to many men killed by the tractor flipping on them. To many! ....
Beautiful country around you... so lush and green! keep that mowed down so when deer season comes you can see those big bucks better 👍
Thanks Jayne! That man is very lucky! And that's exactly why I mowed my fields so I can get the trail cams up lol!
Mallard 5 Farmhouse LOL!!! Men and their tractors, with a HINT of deer season! I have one of those that I have been married to for 43 years! Only mine has a “Hilton Deer Stand”.... but I guess at 70 years old he does need extra heat, recliner, small refrigerator ( not plugged in,... but critters can’t get his snacks!) while sitting up in the air!
He use to be a great hunter and many horns horns to prove it... but sickness and age can interfere with your “game”....
I could almost smell the fresh mowed land CJ .... 👍
@@jaynebrown693 your husband sounds like an awesome guy!
Excellent video!
I mow steep hills all the time. Rarely is there flat ground in my neighborhood. I was thinking, the best tip is: "If you dont feel safe, dont do it." And then you said it.
Excellent video!
Thanks man! Sounds like your area is just like ours. I envy these guys mowing their flat perfect fields lol. Thanks for watching buddy!
Great tips! My oldest brother years ago, or back in the day as they say, had a tractor roll over on him and broke his back, so I really want to thank you for showing others saftey tips for tractors. No telling how many accidents will be avoided just by what you showed. Thank you for thinking of others!! God bless you!, Teresa
Oh my I'm sorry to hear that Teresa. But at least he lived! He's very lucky! Tractors can be fun but need to be respected too. I hope you're right that I'm saving someone from an accident👍🚜😃
I have a trick I have used a few times: First, I always mow with my brakes not connected and my tractor in FWD. If I'm a little concerned about mowing across a slope I lightly touch the uphill brake to see if that wheel has some weight on it. If it locks up really easy, I immediately turn downhill.
Yes! That is great advice William!! Thank you
You are one of the only guys I've seen do it right. Good sound advice. Nice job.
Hey thank you Gene! I really appreciate that! Hopefully I can keep some people out of some sticky situations that I've found myself in lol
The top link connection on your 3 point for the bush hog, you could replace the straight bar down to the deck with a piece of chain, or cut it in to two sections closer to the top and put in a pivot point. Our 6 foot bush hog has a small expansion type joint there for movement to keep it from binding up......We mow alot! Both with the 6 foot bush hog and the 12 foot batwing and steep hills can be pretty scary for sure. Great video!
I'm glad you mentioned this because I forgot to talk about using a chain for the top link. Thank you and thanks for watching!!
So much good & useful info. Bud!!! And the view @ 03:58 mark!!! That was just a glimpse of how awesomely beautiful your land is!!! Dirty Jersey out again!!
Thanks Mike! I love mowing that field and looking at that view!
I totally agree with everything you said CJ. My younger brother has a 4005 John Deere about the same size as your tractor. While i don't do much mowing on slopes, I've heard him talk about mowing with his front loader on and lowered . This is a good counter balast and as you said can keep you from tipping over while going up hill. Thanks buddy.
Thank you Dean! That's a great point about it being a counter ballast 👍🚜🇺🇸
How's she goon'? Very wise comments and suggestions CJ!! Being careful on the tractor today will allow us to get back on the tractor tomorrow!! Take care!!!
Thanks Mike! You're right buddy, being on a tractor can be some of the best times you can have if you do it safely! 👍🚜
Great video and good points. 👍
Thanks Hank!
I will probably never drive a tractor. 🤣... .but I really enjoyed that and can see the sense in what you advisd. Have a lovely week to all. x
Thank you Moira! Maybe one of these days I'll inspire you to hop on a tractor lol
@@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse Its doubtful! I can barely get out of a chair these days hahaha! 🤣🤗
@@moiragoldsmith7052 Never say never. I have a small John Deere 1025R, it's pretty low AND they sell steps for them. Once you are in the seat you will be like everyone else! That little tractor let's me do things that I did when I was in my 20's but can no longer do without some "hydraulic assistance." It's a tool that keeps you moving.
@@suburbantractor9125 Good for you! Its essential to remain as independent as is possible. Keep strong. 🤗
Well friend you taught me some new things here! I guess if I ever buy a tractor I’ll be buying one like the one you’ve got!
You keep getting all those animals you're going to need a nice big tractor lol 👍🚜
Hey CJ, enjoyed BOTH video's today. The safety equipment on those tractors can really save your bacon when used properly. You did a good job brush hogging that hill, got er looking good around there. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Fred! No doubt the ROP can be a lifesaver. I'm just trying to catch up with all these overgrown fields lol. Take care buddy!
CJ just watched that other video man. Scary stuff if you don’t have a seat belt on. I always put mine on when I’m anywhere near a slope. Should probably wear it all the time but I make sure to have it on when I’m on a hill. Great video man.
Hey Adam! Thanks buddy! I always have to be careful on my property. Hills everywhere haha. Take care buddy!
CJ!!! I'm tired Bud & it takes a lot for me to say I'm tired!!! But, a fantastic way to start the day is a video from you guys. Hope all is well, keep enjoying your tractor and I can't lie if I say I really Hope our paths cross in person one day!!! Dirty Jersey out!!!!
Hey Mike! I know how you feel buddy. Im tired too. I over did it in the heat and wasnt feeling too well. Im all good now. Stay cool while mowing your yards buddy! Take care!
@@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse Thanks Homes!! And yes PLEASE be careful in da heat. It's was absolutely brutal last week. We have some relief coming in this week. Slowly getting ready to tackle the day👍👍👍
@@moneymakingmikeg.9555 I'm ready for fall lol
THANK YOU for this video! I always wondered how to do this properly. Stay safe!
You are very welcome Cindy Lou! I hope it helps you! 👍🚜😃
You have some beautiful scenery there! Right now everything is crispy brown in my area.
Thanks John! Yeah everything is green as can be with all the rain we have gotten this year lol. 👍🚜
I just bought a new tractor and have a 27 degree slope to tackle. This video gives me hope 😂 🍻
Just take your time and be careful buddy
I have the same tractor as you in this video and I have been bush hogging 250 acres but there’s one extremely steep hill that I have to do and I’m not going to lie it’s the only time I put the roll bar up because I really didn’t feel safe without it. I didn’t use the seat belt because if I had to jump off before the roll I could but seeing the video that you put into the comments showed me to WEAR it. Thank you!,,,,
I used to be the same way with my seat belt, but that video changed my mind real quick lol
Greetings from Noble County! Great video and tips! Thank you.
Hey Bob (neighbor)! Glad you liked the video 😃. Thanks for watching buddy 👍🚜🇺🇸
that was one of the best how to videos i have found. thanks
Hey thank you so much Thomas! I'm glad it helped!
There are a lot of great tips here, thanks CJ, great video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Ken I tried to share everything I know, which isn't much lol
Lots of good tips! My tractor is in 4x4 about 90% of the time as well, we've got it, might as well take advantage of it.
Exactly right! And as wet as it is around here most of the time I need it anyway lol. Thanks for watching!👍🇺🇸🚜
Be careful out there , and one thing we have done is on our Ford 1921 tractor we turned the tires around and it pushed them out another few inches to give it more of a wider footprint very very stable and loaded the tires, the tractor can almost do 45 degree incline sideways no problem
Yeah my tractor is setup to be as wide as possible and also have loaded tires. Big help👍
Lots of great tips CJ! The field is looking good, I always enjoy a good brush hogging video! Take care buddy!
Thanks Davey! Looks like we've both been busy brush hogging lol
Very good info , never did any brush hogging, safetyfirst.! That quick hitch seems to be very helpful if you’re switching implements regularly.or doing farming chores. My winch was on my last tractor for 18 years. If I was switching implement on a regular basis I would have one.i don’t see how you could flip the tractor over backwards with the brush hog on there, maybe I’m missing something. I agree about the 4x4 if ya got it use it. Great video thanks for sharing.!
Thanks Dave! Yeah my mind is constantly aware when I'm on the tractor. I tried to remember everything I think about and put it in this video lol. Thanks for watching buddy!
I have never had an issue with bending anything on the 3 point hitch with my rough cut mower going over bubs or depressions while having the mower hooked directly on my 3 point. Actually, I had more issues in that respect when I was using the quick hitch. I eventually removed the quick hitch and just use the regular hookup to the 3 point. No more issues after that. There is always some give on the stabilizer arm . Also the mower has a clevis type of attachment on the mower which hooks onto the stabilizer arm on the tractor. I have the same type of clevis on the finishing mower and my rough cut. This gives me plenty of movement between the mower and the tractor when backing up a steep bank or going down it and evening out at the bottom. I do agree however, that the quick hitch is much more convenient hooking up to different attachments.
Yeah I hardly use my quick hitch anymore either. My issue with my old brush hog is that it didn't have that rotating clevis so I really was at risk of bending it on some spots I mow 👍
All good info there! I need to be better about wearing my seat belt on hills. Thanks for the reminder!
Thanks Chris! You have hills? I'm jealous of those flat fields I've seen you working lol
Great advice buddy 👍🏼
Thank you! Just things that help me out. Merry Christmas!
I want a tractor so much! Until then, I watch videos....good tips..! Thanks from the original New Franklin, Oh!!
That's exactly what I did before I was able to buy property and a tractor. Hope my videos help you dream big Larry!!
Good info CJ, have a great day buddy.
Thanks Mark! You have a great day too!
Thank it was helpful for me . Best regards from sweden!!
Wow Sweden! Thanks for watching Staffan!
Nice video man. I hate the hillsides no doubt! You just never know when the flip is near!
Thanks Kap! I have been scared a few times. Getting better every year with practice. Thanks for watching buddy
Great video and Tips CJ, Well done buddy
Thanks Joey! Take care buddy
GREAT VIDEO CJ !! Long time in the making and well done !!. Tried to get ahold of you but email was returned and no call back. Fred, OLD DAWG DREAMING.
Wow you're going back to one of my old videos lol. Did you try the deer22hunter@gmail.com email?Kelsey runs the website email and sometimes I don't see it
That's a really good video. Liked it and hope to see more soon.
SurvivalAustria
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😃👍🚜
Very good info!
Thanks buddy! Just some things I wish I understood better when I first started 👍🚜
Good Info !!
Thanks Brian! Glad you liked it 😃👍🚜
Wheel spacers make a huge difference.
Yes they do 👍👍
Thanks. I have a small lake with a dam. I never mow it, though my brother does with and old Ford 2000. I tell him it isn’t worth the risk mowing “sideways “.
This week something told me to back up the dam. Didn’t go far before slipping. I and going to add a quick hitch for it.
I bought a brand new Massey 55hp non 4WD last year. It’s great, but a little light on the front end. I traded in an MF255 which seems to be heavier and lower center of gravity. I feel uneasy on the new one on even the slightest grade change.
Tomorrow I am calling the dealer and having a front loader installed. They will even pick it up from the farm and return, for the sale. I have responded to tractor accidents and they give me nightmares. Just not worth the risk for some stinking grass.
I agree buddy it's not worth the risk. 4wd is a must for me where I'm at. Especially having the ag tires and 4wd makes my tractor almost able to climb a tree lol. Stay safe buddy!
Good info
Thank you Diana!
Thank you brother!
Hey you're welcome Fidel! Hope it helps!!
good morning there cj
Good morning Eddie! Thanks for watching buddy 👍🚜
Great info, thank you.
Hey hope it helps Scott!!
Been mowing very steep hills for years, my advice is to take the loader off when mowing. And since I live in northern Vermont and move snow in the winter, I run chains on my Kubota year round.!! Great video and thanks for posting!!
Great Video ******
Thanks David! Glad you enjoyed it! 👍🚜😃🇺🇸
Helped me, Thanks 👍
Hey that's great! Glad it helped!
That LS handled steep well . No pack of power in the taller brush? Thanks for the video cj
Hey Dave! Yes the LS is a hill climber for sure. It will bog down just a bit in the really thick stuff but I also let this field go too long lol. Thanks for watching buddy 👍🚜🇺🇸
Good points, but I personally ruined my cervical spine (neck) backing up sooo much on my mountain. 3 surgeries later and I'm basically disabled. Obviously age and other factors are a factor,Please keep this in mind
Man Michael that's horrible! Luckily for me I don't have to do this on too many spots on my property. I hope you can get better soon!
I really liked this video. What happens if you’re brush hogging a hill that slopes north to south and west to east at the same time? Would you attack it at a 45 degree angle. I’m also thinking of loading my tires and increasing the width of my rear tires.
Absolutely loaded and wider tires will help. And I would have to see it, but I like the 45 degree idea you have too
Nice safety tips, wanted to know if its possible to plough slopes?
Unless you have a gentle slope I wouldn't do it. Running on a hill with loose dirt is dangerous plus plowing it up will cause soil erosion
@@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse umm, are there any suggestions for slopes. Should I buy a hand tiller/rotovator.
Great video, thanks as it was helpful to me. It's brush hog season. I am trying to find the video about ROPS + Seat Belt and might be overlooking it. Do you have that posted somewhere that I'm missing? Thank you!
Hey you're welcome buddy! I thought I had that video pinned in the comments, but I fixed it so it should show up on top in the comments now. Thanks for watching man!
Nice vid 😎🏆👍👴
Thanks Richard!
Well ya see if you put a chain in place of the top link like most do the quick hitch will do the same although I’ve worked with every few and owned one and didn’t like it had to go back older
Mine doesn’t have either but mine is set out wider than our trailers and I hang chains really low on the front of my tractor to catch things and stop me before it goes under and I rode hills up and down and side to side but most the time I try to go at and angle
Other wise great tips
My 2 cents
Yeah I think that's what I said in the video about chains and quick hitches. Chains on your bucket is a good idea! Thanks for watching 👍😃
Thank you for making the video. Do you have a link for the quick hitch? I need to purchase one.
Hey thanks man! This quick hitch came from Rural King
Great tips! I have a gentle slope to work with so no much roll over danger, but still great advise to remember.
Expecting my XR 3135H this week.
Thank you! Yeah never hurts to be extra careful. That's awesome you're getting a new LS! 👍🚜🇺🇸
I’m going to look at a LS G3033 4wd with loader tomorrow what can you tell me about the LS tractor good and bad
Hey Eric! I'll be honest I have 150 hours on my LS now and I don't have any complaints yet. The regen system is annoying sometimes but with your model that might only happen every 20 hours. And even when it is doing a regen you can keep working with your tractor. You just have to wait til it's done. Hope you get a good deal buddy!
Thanks for the fast response enjoyed your video also learned a lot keep them coming.
Thanks Eric! I try to keep it real on this channel so if I ever have a problem you all will definitely know about it 👍🇺🇸
Quick question have you widen your rear tread on your LS tractor I'm thinking about doing that on my XR4150?
Hey Dave! No I didn't do it myself but I had my dealer do that when I bought it
@@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse I can't find anything on it in the owners manual and nothing on UA-cam, my son and I are thinking about doing it
I'll have to look at mine and see what they did
Thank you
Using brush hog backwards won't hurt it?
No sir it wont 👍
I have seen it go very very wrong before!
Yes very dangerous! Better to be safe for sure!
First Trick get rid of those Junk contractor grade tires go to ag tires with Fluid!
Exactly right ✅!!
Those tires are good on sand or Blacktop, but useless in snow or clay, infact they are designed for longer ware running up and down the Highway, people think they will be safer on hills, but the Truth is they are nothing but a means to make the tractor slide sideways.
I love my Ag tires..feel like I could climb a tree with them lol
@@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse I have Climbed Trees with the John Deere and sidewinder Bush hog. How else are you going to Mutch a 12 inch Diamiter leaning pine tree?
@@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse what I use.40 year old sidewinder ua-cam.com/video/V4gI4QTEgSA/v-deo.html
Yeah but mines old and its only rearwheel drive.
I have a 1957 Ford 850 that's just rear wheel drive too. Gotta be really careful on those hills 👍👍
@@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse Cheers i will be😬😟llol
Do you spell on owin
