Was headed up an incline to put in trenching for a solar array system up here on a Massey Ferguson 50A. Raised the bucket up a bit (I really didn't think it was very high), so that I could see and so it wouldn't hit in front of me. Wheels slipped on something and the whole creature went over backwards.

It got hung up on the excavator hangin off the back end (it was swung up and out a bit for clearance) and stopped it in a dang near vertical position. Swung around and hit for the boom to ease it back forward till I was safely on all fours again. Scared the livin crap outta me!

I'll never make that mistake again!

(I'd probably get reamed for this on a tractor forum)
Oh come on T,more than once i've had 3 wheels off the ground,tractor wheelies are cool too.
