This thread is going to remind you of the things that you see at your favorite Walmart except with BX tractors. I found these pictures on various Facebook BX groups.

Son of a birch. I think ya got me.Better Spruce up your replies or else be left out on a limb, Pineing away...
My dad’s was similar (and for pickups) and was that you use 2wd going, if you get where you can’t go further, 4wd is to get back home.As my dad onec said "when the axle drags the dirt, it is time to stop mashing the stupid pedal"
That advice has saved me more than once!

LOL flipped it driving around with the loader up and a piece of firewood in the bucketThis one the operator claims that the ground was wet and the tractor lost its footing and rolled over. I believe that he was thrown from the tractor and he survived without injury. He admitted that he wasn't wearing a seat belt. I have a theory as to what happened, but I will hold my thoughts.

Mine actually told me that very same thing also. Then he told me to lock the hubs before going off road. Unless I wanted to get out in the muck and lock them when I got stuck.My dad’s was similar (and for pickups) and was that you use 2wd going, if you get where you can’t go further, 4wd is to get back home.
Dusty. Please share your thoughts on this . Loader could have been lower, but doesn’t look excessively high. ?? Ground surface is obviously mush.. maybe driver should have approached and crossed that swale in the ground at more of a 90 angle, facing it straight on.This one the operator claims that the ground was wet and the tractor lost its footing and rolled over.

You figured it out. The tractor was transversing a swale and the angle got to be too much and the tires lost traction. I have a tilt meter in the cab of my BX23S and when the tilt meter gets to 5% I stop and reposition the tractor. At 10% I get really scared of going over, and at 15%, well I have never made it to that degree. The common denominator in all of these accidents is operator error.Dusty.
