Not many creators would roll their machine for GREAT content!! Seriously, glad you are ok and hopefully no real damage to the CAT.

[@davidp4350]

That is such a funny comment ......lol !

[@MrFlyboy71]

I roll all my rentals!

[@User20758]

I rolled my small hustler mower on a steep bank on my property. Made me chuckle after the fact 😊

[@Trumptrain2024FJB]

Andrew Camarata has some great footage of Equipment going off a mountain side! But he jumped off

[@Trumptrain2024FJB]

​@@User20758Yep you LoL but some people ain't so Lucky! If you even think something is sketchy don't do it! You only get one life!!! God bless Trump 2024

[@rogeremberson6464]

So glad your ok Tom. That incident shows why roll cages are fitted to those machines, and is a testament to the Cat design team regarding operator safety. On a slightly lighter note. If there was a competition for doing backflips in a Cat, you would have got a score of 10 out of 10, for grace and elegance.

[@eyenowrite885]

Haha

[@drumfunktion3184]

Glad he went for the straight back flip without the half twist .

[@frankbever3460]

Grateful you weren’t hurt. Glad you showed the good the bad and the ugly.

[@RiverValleyAcres]

I’m glad you are alright after that spill. Thanks for sharing the video so people can learn from the mistakes. Takes a lot of courage to admit faults let alone post them to the internet.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Yes, thank you

[@MasonrywithAL]

Glad you’re ok Tom ! That’s how we learn from mistakes ! Good thing that the cage protected you ! And you still kept working and showing us how you set up the steps.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks 👍

[@rayharvey5253]

I'm very thankful everyone is ok. This could have gone very bad. It's great of you to share this so others can learn for your mistake.

[@HometownAcres]

As a homeowner excavator operator I appreciate seeing this. I always try to keep my bucket stretched out as a counterweight on the uphill side of hills but I honestly had no idea this would be the result if you didn’t. Definitely learned something the easy way from you learning it the hard way today. Thanks for sharing

[@philhammond5908]

Mike Morgan will be proud you didn’t edit that out.

[@Tdale85]

Glad you’re okay! That was a close call! It happens to the best, hopefully not too much damage to the engine/body.

[@sharondilloncavalierland954]

I’m glad you are ok. That was some video. Rarely do vloggers show their mistakes and accidents. You are a rare man. Thanks for sharing and keeping up with the good videos. Hugs!

[@scottcusick6274]

Good afternoon from Pleasant Hills, PA. Very glad you didn’t get hurt on this project Tom. It proves that everyone makes mistakes. As long as learn not to make the same mistake twice. 🇺🇸

[@DarinMcGrew]

I am reminded of the crash scene at the beginning of the movie Flight (2012). In the "making of" video, they described the research they did into the real-life crash that inspired it, and into what would fail in a modern airliner if it flew inverted. It turns out that a lot of engines rely on gravity to keep fluids where they're supposed to be. I like the care you put into step spacing. My wife is blind, and gets really annoyed with steps that aren't spaced where she can walk at a consistent pace.

[@jasone679]

A good reminder to always put that seatbelt on. Glad you weren't hurt and thankfully no one was working around the machine.

[@georgeborello8075]

Glad you are alright. Nice job laying out those steps.

[@ourlifeinwyoming4654]

This is why we wear seatbelts and there are roll cages. Those with small tractors, please do not lower or remove your ROPS (roll over protection system) and wear your seatbelt every time. Notice how he walked away from this with only his feelings hurt. He's fine. Looking forward to the pour!

[@garykemp977]

Well said, sir...... Some/most of us think, "that would never happen to me." Tom is a very safe Operator, so lesson learned for us all.

[@biokonorte7602]

Tom and Ourlifein...: I was looking for a comment on seat belts so I am glad to see one. I went back and looked closely and I did not see Tom fasten seat belts. While I am not certain that this machine had seat belts (the legal requirement is somewhat new) I would have liked to see seat belts fastened. Roll cage will absolutely save your life, but not if you are thrown out of the seat. The absolutely worst thing I ever had to do in my 50 year career in the chemical industry was to tell a young wife that her husband had been killed when his forklift rolled over and he was crushed by the roll cage because he was thrown out of the seat.

[@ourlifeinwyoming4654]

@@biokonorte7602 That’s a terrible thing to go thru. I’m an old instructor. During my time in the Air Force I taught backhoe operations. From trailer loading and unloading to excavating on a slope, I was responsible for proper training. I always told my students, “Birthdays are cool. Keep having them.” Allot of people are buying small tractors these days and I’m not aware of any effort to train people on how to use them safely. They think they’ve engineered out all the risks. They’re assuming that everyone will be strapped in and won’t fold down their ROPS. It makes me cringe.

[@erichedges2948]

Tom, Glad you are alright. Thank you for showing us the successes and the mistakes of being a contractor. Not many contractors would even attempt at installing concrete steps on a hill like that. Appreciate you and your crew.

[@markholmes1346]

I’m just glad your ok Tom, I knew the machine would be good! I love to see your transparent and showed what happened so others can try to avoid this from happening! Great work on the steps! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼

[@asz030303]

Happy to see no one hurt in this incident.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks, me too

[@ohokayofficial]

Glad you’re okay!! 🙌🏽🙏🏽 Thanks for sharing, and showing the obstacles when dealing with extreme slopes.

[@jameshowe5051]

Great video. I never seen a concrete guy so calm. Thanks for sharing.

[@chevyman7293]

So glad your ok Tom. 👍 love watching you and the guys do amazing work 👏 .

[@charlieBhoy72]

Glad you're safe and no real damage. Lucky escape, shows how easy it is to make a mistake -- thanks for sharing. Love the channel.

[@tmactheplumber4966]

Glad you are ok ! tx 4 sharing !

[@scottlee1211]

Hell of a ride Tom! So glad you are ok!! Thanks for showing us how accidents like this happen so quickly…going to be a tough project, I would think with that slope, those steps are going to stress you out!!! I don’t know if you’re a drinking man or not, but, you deserve your favorite cocktail or two after this job!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@tudorwynphillips6458]

You were very fortunate not to hurt yourself, glad you’re ok . And Greetings from North Wales UK

[@marklevy3997]

Happy to see you’re okay! Thanks for sharing so the rest of us can learn!!

[@jacklachman5304]

GOOOOOOOD MAAAAAAAAWNIN ALL YOU YINZERS OUT THERE!!!!…another gorgeous Fall morning here in Virginia Beach….OMG 😮!! Tom, so very glad you didn’t get hurt. How’s the machine after the fact? Steps look very impressive. Have you or your crew ever rolled a machine before? Thanks for sharing! Many would not. You a truly a stand up & honest guy. GOD Bless yinz Have a day!

[@thewoodchucker-doug4303]

Thanks for sharing Tom, not many would share because of embarrassment. However, you shared for learning moments, to prevent anyone of us, to have the same experience. I am happy that you were not injured (other than pride, but that heals quick), machines can be replaced, you cannot. Awesome learning moments for all of us. Thank you.

[@NSResponder]

Glad you're safe, thanks for sharing.

[@bud1412]

Glad you are ok. Wow that was something to see. Thanks for showing it.

[@alankipling-pm2kg]

Above and beyond for content Tom, so glad your safe but great content. One to look back on for a different reason.

[@richhoffman3019]

I'm glad you are OK! Great video.

[@thomasholsinger1999]

Glad you’re ok Tom. Thanks for sharing and explaining. I’ll definitely remember this. 👍

[@gregtaylor3432]

Glad you are OK!! Props for posting your mishap in the hopes others could learn.

[@jolanni7]

I'm glad nobody was hurt. This will bring many laughs at the Christmas party for years to come. Maybe there will be an outrigger for the roof in your Christmas stocking. Love the variety of the jobs you get and how you do the layout. Very good work.

[@craigwilson9560]

Glad you are ok, Tom! A mistake that could happen to anyone of us, and something we can all learn from. Nice forming the steps up with your crew!

[@johnspoon923]

Great teaching moment which I'm sure will help novice operators like me :). Glad you are ok and thanks for sharing.

[@casycasy5199]

glad your ok I hate working on steep hills. thanks for showing how fast things can go wrong.

[@drak0v]

OMG. Thank God you are ok Tom. Also thank you for sharing with us.

[@williamfenner9915]

Thank God for ROPS,and the seat belt.I hope that no one was injured ,and the machine was not harmed. Did you have to go to change your shorts?

[@mikebarushok5361]

Step layout is such a simple thing once you have done enough of them. But homeowners doing their own often don't realize how important it is to have the rise and tread identical throughout. I've happily destroyed many unsafe steps to replace them with a set that won't be a dangerous trip hazard and an eyesore.

[@jamesgaul1022]

Scary! Glad that you are ok and that you shared this experience with the viewers so that all can learn from your mishap.

[@richardadamiak269]

Very glad you’re ok. Nice recovery. Stairs look great

[@Kim-n-Brian]

So glad to see you are ok !

[@richardrich3445]

Thank you for this video illustrates a lot of safety and performance you have did a good job showing how to prevent accident but yet couldn't all the time thank you very much for your time God bless you keep up the good work

[@jakeschisler7525]

What a trooper you are. Glad you didn't get hurt!!!

[@Nate_E]

Thank God the roll over cage was on. Glad you are OK - must have been scary. Great job setting up the steps.

[@kwshilts]

It is a learning experience for all to learn from. I am glad you are not hurt. I am not surprised that it did shake you up for the rest of the day.

[@brucebenson9651]

I'm glad your OK! But great content. A hard way to lean a lesson. I would have had to change my shorts before going back to work. Great information on stairs.

[@keithburch5506]

I've always appreciated finding out accidents performed by others when operating a new machine. I've made a bunch for others to learn from, I really have. I operated many different lifts over the 9 1/2 years in construction. Watching you go over was scary the first time, but it was very funny the next time. You've operated that Cat often in tight places wout the cage on it. Kudos for always putting it back on!! You said how mad you might have been if one of the crew did that. Well, I've known you for over 3 years now. I've seen you in situations that would have had me throwing hammers and cursing. But each time, I was honestly amazed at how you kept your cool each time. One example is the beautiful exposed aggregate walks, in between the buildings of the owners' multi-million dollar mansion. Not noticing the sub base was frozen, the edges on the walks cracked overnight. That next morning, when you saw that, I was looking for flying hammers!!! I couldn't believe how you went into demolition mode as if it was just another function to complete the job. Not even one sour word!!! I gave you a thousand tons of respect that day. That threw TSH off schedule and cost a fortune out of TSH's income. I'll never forget that. All I can say is, no, you would not have gotten mad at your crew if one of them did that! Thank you for such great, clean, honest, and informative - and entertaining content. Always, always good stuff on your channel. I can't wait for your next post!!👍❤️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Jazzking22]

Glad you're ok. Could happen to any of us. Great content.

[@nickp3173]

Stuff happens. To the best of us. You kept your cool, came out unscathed, no harm and no foul. Glad you're alright brother. God bless.

[@davidbishop4015]

Glad you're ok. And you know what went wrong. It's a good teaching video for those viewers that might have a similar machine. Looking forward to seeing the finished steps. Stay safe.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks 👍

[@barryhoneycutt3894]

As always i really enjoy and "LEARN" things to do and not to do. Many would never have shown the mini x roll over, yet we expect it of you because you have always been honest, trustworthy.. Now that said: Thank God your ok, and i am sure many will watch that bucket before backing on the hill to prevent a roll over because you showing this video. ty Bro. ❤💯🙏

[@timothychristian9140]

Glad you’re okay Tom and that no one was working behind you when that happened. Stay safe, GOD BLESS and see ya on the next one.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks see you on the next one

[@dmhipkins]

Good training and safety video. Glad everyone and the equipment is doing well.

[@organogold8]

Wow!!! Glad you are okay!!🙏🙏🙏Thank you for sharing this content! Without screaming 😅

[@jamesharless5357]

Great video, Tom, very thankful you didn’t get hurt. As the saying goes live and learn.👍🏻👍🏻

[@thebulldogchefs203]

So happy to see you were not injured. We can always repair or replace equipment. Tom, you’re can’t be replaced, repaired hopefully, but not replaced. I guess that ROPS works. God bless.

[@nbookie]

This is one of many reasons we have a hi-lift and basic electric winch on each truck.

[@GratefulNachos]

Glad everything turned out ok. Respect for showing that. Could help others not make that mistake!

Boy, when things go bad, they go bad quickly......Glad you are safe & not hurt. Good lesson learned, for everyone. Greetings from the Old Jarhead in WNC

[@dougsweldingfabrication953]

Glad you're okay. It happens to the best

[@dennisgiles958]

Did that very gracefully Tom. Thank God all is good and your ok.

[@funnyfarm5555]

More counterbalance could be achieved by filling bucket with dirt prior to stretching it out. I am a moderator on Kubota facebook group and every now and then the issue of tractor turnovers comes up. Unfortunately there are way too many people killed in tractor turnovers every year. A few owners gave testament to the benefits from wearing their seatbelt. I have a TLB B3200 and occasionally need to drive down our road to get to the gate at the other end of our property (pasture floods every winter in the middle). I make sure my seatbelt is on as our road is now very busy and I know I cannot move out of the tractor as fast as it can turn over. Enjoyed your going through the layout of the steps.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thank you very much for the comment

[@johnhepburn7419]

Glad your ok. It shows how quickly things can go bad with heavy equipment

[@chrishumphreys7774]

The steps are cool. It's definitely going to be a big help for the people. Glad you're okay

[@wheelb4973]

Tom it takes a real man to show his mistakes . Glad you are okay . Lets' hope this is a teaching moment for others as most creators would edit something like that out . Every other day I do what I call my drive around KZbin and I always stop and visit your channel . Another great video and again , just glad you are okay .

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thank you very much

[@fulljack1]

Happy you are okay!! And a good lesson learned.

[@onryboy2264]

I'm glad that you are okay, that could have turned out a whole lot worse.

[@maga5381]

Great content. Keep up the good work.

[@robertnorris1808]

Tom, happy to see that you are okay and you never know when something like this will happen. No matter how confident you are you should always be ready for the unexpected. This job is one steep area so are you going to pump the concrete in or buggy it? Again I'm glad you are okay and wishing you and your crew a safe project.

[@neilhale2430]

Thank you for sharing. You may have saved someone’s life by showing what to watch for. I am really happy to see you swallowing your pride and sharing your experience, it truly will make us better operators knowing this can happen. Glad you are ok. Did you have your seatbelt on? 😅

[@Jeff-zk6dk]

Wow thank God you or anyone else did not get hurt or killed that was definitely a lesson learned👍🏻

[@markschuette869]

So glad to see you made it ok! You sure got your nickel's worth on that carnival ride!!! A long time ago a much wiser operator than I ever thought of becoming taught me in that situation you should keep your bucket low and slowly swing it around to your lower side and just let your bucket dust the ground as you descend down grade. That way if your machine starts to lose balance you can plant your bucket on the ground and regain control. Same goes for loading and unloading on and off the trailer. Keep your bucket below you (Like a third leg). Keep that theory in mind when loading and unloading skid steers also if you find yourself with a trailer pointed up hill. One request.....PLEASE USE YOUR SEATBELT....YOU HAVE A CAGE!!! We all want a lot more content from 'Concrete With The Hauses'. THX TOM

[@josephgraham1065]

You are very lucky Sir. Glad nobody was hurt. Shows that one must fully be aware of their surroundings at all times... Again glad you are ok and machine is too

[@patrickb5656]

The smoke after rolling is a bonus. Keeps the bugs away.
