I experienced the ultimate embarressment tipping my B3030 over Sunday.
I was barely creeping backwards around an area where I'd been back filling after digging out a stump. The bucket was down maybe 2 foot off the ground empty, and the left front tire caved in the edge and slid me over slighly as it
dropped, and the tractor leaned and over it went. Nothing hurt but my pride
as I'm the safety nazi always. I was shocked that I didn't break the windows out of the cab or tear a mirror off etc, but it was unscathed.
Normally I have my 5 foot box blade on for ballast and smoothing things over but had it off for being in the woods for manuverability. That won't happen again! I have 12.4-16 R4 Industrial lug tires on the rear that I haven't loaded yet as I didn't want to tear up the yard while mowing.
Does anyone know of a supplier of rear weights for the 16 inch wheels?
I'm thinking of adding them if possible along with loading the tires with Rim Guard. Rim guard will give me about 220lbs per tire and I'd like a little more.
I call myself "Lucky Al" now...
