So, I was out working on our track at my house and had a little "mishap" while putting some rocks around the edge of the pond. I was on my last rock too! LOL

does she have a Hoe on the back? you can tip your self back up! i about **** my self when i tipped the skidder foward once and when i tipped backward...

[250rPRIDE]

damnn that could have been really bad.. just feel lucky to be laughing about it, tipping over any type of heavy equipment can be deadly real fast, even though they are slow moving, thats a lot of weight.. did you have your belt on, or a death grip on the wheel!!!!!!!!!!!

No injuries. Just a bruised ego. LOL No seat belt, I just held on tight as it went over. Flipped it back over with a dozer. Not even a scratch on the hoe.

The funny thing is, I have done dirt work for 20+ years, and owned a construction company for over 10 years. I know about how to do things, and how to do them safely. The backhoe had a low rear tire, but I was in a "hurry" and didn't bother airing it up, or wearing the seat belt. When I went down to drop my last rock, the angle of the slope, postion of the machine, and the big 'ol rock I was carrying all combined, and the right rear tire came off the wheel. When the tire blew, over she went. Fortunately it was no big deal and we can have a laugh about it, but I know better than to do dumb stuff like that, especially since I was home alone. If I would've been pinned under that machine, nobody would've found me for hours.

i was in a OSHA class once and the instuctor asked who was the more likely to have a accident on the job site? the new employee or the 20 year vet? of course i said the new one. but he said the statistics showed people who had been operating machinery for years were most likely to get hurt compared to those that havent. the people who had been operating longer were willing to take more risks!! im glad your alright tho!!
