Wow!

Glad you walked away unhurt. Now to fix the cub. Hopefully its not too banged up.
Pretty flat around my place, except for the road ditch, that I try and stay away from.
If I have to run on a slight slope, I put the engine side on the up hill side of the slope. Not sure that it makes much difference, but it seems like it would be a little better.

No , no.
Don't do that that way.
Does appear to make it easier to service the blade and underside of the deck though.
I'll stick with doing it the hard way.

Seriously though. You used up a life on that tip.
Spend your next chance wiser.

yes and add some wheel weights

I was going to mention this. But like all things we get used to things. He probably has done that same drive many times before and let things slip his mind like the mid. I stuck my zt mower in the end of the garden not thinking. Now lucky I didn't flip or anything, just pride hurt had to do the walk of shame across the street to the shed to grab the four wheeler and a chain pull it out and continue on. This was flat ground and I am fully aware we got 9"s of rain in the last two weeks. Even got the mower stuck in almost the same place last year. Was just trying to get some grass on an end row. The small lapses of judgement is what causes accidents.

I could not say tractor when I was 2 years old so I called it Err Err.

I loved this tractor then and I still love it now.

Been there done that. All I broke was the manifold. Oh and having to walk back to the house and get Joyce to help me pull it back over.
This picture is my Kubota. Did not hurt any thing other than having to get Richard to help me upright it.

In the past I went in the opposite direction but yesterday I suppose I wasn"t thinking and that is when I ran into trouble and departed the cub to fend for itself,they are tough and only sustained left headlight damage.I will remove headlights as I will not be mowing grass at night.Sure hurts your feelings though.

glad you rode it down. I have rolled my 790 JD a few times and rolled an old lull down into a ditch. you and I were both lucky. its not the slow motion when it rolls over it is the possibility of getting tangled up in it and not being able to get off it. Kub Klipper mower?

first time for me and hopefully the last.Mower is a bush hog 412 I installed couple weeks ago,previously that cub had a 152 belly plow installed but only got about 30 minutes in the spring so I found this mower and installed so I could get a little use out of it.Garden will be a lot smaller in the future.
