I rolled my John Deere 4044R tractor on a slope while mowing. I had my seat belt on and am okay. I'm hoping the engine will unlock overnight.

Note for the future: Always wait at least 24 hours after getting the machine upright before trying to crank. On it's side oil from the crankcase slowly leaks past the piston rings and fills the cylinder. If you crank in this condition, it's not uncommon to bend a connecting rod or damage other components in the rotating assembly. If you really want to reduce the risk of hydrolocking, remove the glow plugs and crank to expel the oil. First instinct is to upright the machine, start it, and get it out of there. That reaction can be costly.

Rolled my first (and hopefully only 🤞🏼) tractor when I was 18yrs old. It was a 40 horse John Deere. You never forget it. Thankfully I WASNT buckled as I jumped from the seat (all I could think of was the tractor landing on my legs as I leapt) because when the tractor landed, the seat was smeared down 3’ of the trunk of a big birch tree. Had I been buckled it would’ve been me (maybe the ONLY EXCEPTION when it comes to not being buckled - ALWAYS wear your seatbelt like you were!!!) Listen to your “spidey senses” when you’re side hilling and back down them vs turning/side hilling at all. Glad you’re ok. Like I said, I can still see it like it was yesterday (when it was 27 years ago) my full load of gravel starting to slide sideways out of my bucket in slow motion wondering what in the hell was happening until my next thought was JUMP!!!! Lol

New owner of a 1025R here, These suckers can tip easy, The dealer told me that 15 degrees is max, ( I believe that JD is just covering their butt ). I put a level gauge on my dash and have gone 25°, I have stacked weights on rear tires and I’m presently installing front weights to give it a lower center of gravity. I was on a slight grade 10 degrees or so, and I just dumped a load of brush. The loader was about a third of the way up, I backed up quick and cut the wheel to the right, the next thing I knew, my right rear tire was coming up off the ground. Mower deck was still on too.

The only way for me to bail was to jump further out than the tractor could roll. It was an old ford with no ropes. Had a massive bruise on my leg. It all happened so fast that i have no idea exactly what caused the bruise. Glad you are okay!

OMG ( understatement) There`s why and how a ROPS works, and of course, seat belts. I`m thinking that maybe the engine oil went down through the valves too, and possibly the injectors will have to be removed to allow the engine oil out that way. We`ll see. The main ( only ) thought here is that you are OK Thank God!

and this is why it bugs me when I see guys operating with the ROPS bar folded down on machines where it can fold for transport or storage ( and having a 1050 with a fixed bar, that's a handy option ) "...I was just mowing and..." Your telling this story is all the justification the ROPS should ever need.....it may have seemed slow to you in the seat ( fight or flight reaction etc) but I'll bet it went over pretty fast to anyone watching, once they go over center, they just go. Very glad you are alright. Must have been quite the ride. Staying put and NOT trying to jump clear as it went over must have taken about all the guts you had and maybe some of your kindly neighbor's as well. People get hurt that way. Sure hope that the engine drains and that's all it is. Good Luck and thanks for sharing the teaching moment with us all !!

I've had my Kubota for thirty four years now, and have "rolled" it twice. Both times I wasn't wearing the seat belt, and kinda rolled out on the ground....thank God for the ROPS!! I shut the engine off immediately and righted the tractor as quickly as possible. No damage either time except the battery leaked acid and had to be cleaned up/replenished. My tires are filled with liquid which gives you more confidence on hills. One time my front tire found a hole the other my rear tire found a rock, which is all it takes when you're that close to the limit!!!

Good to see your ok and ya got tractor out. This may help you next time you mow. I may be wrong but from what I could see it looked like it might help if you let your top link out a little. The shredder should ride on the tail wheel before it rides on front skids. If you are on level ground try and adjust your mower and three point so that it sits level or tipped back just a hair and it won't scrape the ground. In turn it helps keep wieght on tractor. May or may not help. Just looked a little funny in video.

Get those tires water filled and eliminate this problem. It will lower your center of gravity and also when on a slope get that bucket as low as you can without fear of it hitting the ground. I grew up on a tractor mowing high walls in old strip pits put that bad boy in 2 wheel drive 1st gear and stomp the uphill brake to the floor while counter steering like your drifting a car.You want to run the hill with the tractor 45° to the direction of intended travel.

People glad you had a belt on have never been on a tractor. That is a open cab and even though it qualifies as ROP's, I had a limb from a tree shoved through me and into the seat I was seating on. I had a lung punchered and broken ribs and I couldn't get away. I was in the hospital for about six weeks and have never recovered from that. I was in my twenties when it happened and I am seventy two now. No more seat belts for me on that style cab. I don't mean to be mean to you but this should be a wake up call. Accidents are just that, but you need to brush up on the operators handbook. No more sidehilling or it will happen again guaranteed. Read before you die, they are not toys that save your back from picking up stuff. If that had heavy wheel weights, that just about would for sure come out as a death from not using common sense. Low center of gravity and stay off the hills on a sideway mow pattern. Take care of yourself and wait before starting engine. The engine is worthless if you hydrolock it. I would have some one pull injectors before rolling engine over and fouling them as well. This not as expensive as replacing whole engine

When it is to steep to bale you bush hog, that is also a good rule of thumb telling you to run up and down. I have used this rule for myself and it has worked flawless.

First of all, I'm glad you're ok and also glad you had the guts to post it. It's a good lesson for everyone. With ROPS up, wear your seat belt. Any idea how steep the slope was? The camera never shows it accurately, but when you were beside it, putting it in neutral, you could tell it was pretty steep.

My question is how did you turn over there, that's not a slope. I've had our tractors on slopes to where the back tires slide down the hill and have never turned one over

It’s very uneven there and hidden by tall grass. I’ve turned my previous smaller tractor around in the same spot before while mowing but this was the first time with my 4 series.

First of all thank God you weren't hurt! Second of all thank God I was not there! The second you went for the starter you would have been relieved of command. 60K straps are great, if you can get away with it never use a chain. Let that tractor sit with the glow plugs out of it, oil filter off and drain plug out. The next day try turning it over "manually" unhook power source. Live and learn, it's all we can do. I'm glad it happened slow and you didn't lose your head. Next time bring your arms to your chest. the wheel could turn with force and break limbs. Better yet no more next times! lol

I have a New Holland just a little smaller than your John Deere, bought it new in 1996 during that time laid it on its side two times, once dragging a maple tree 30” in diameter turned to sharp on a hill and like you held on for the ride, the other time I was making a friends pond bigger and over again, now that you have done it once you probably will never do it again

Sorry for your misfortune, bother. I live in the foothills of N.C. and I can tell you I never ever considered using my 1025R as a mower. Got myself a Bobcat CRZ 48 and I can tell you that my mower would never have tipped on your property. CRZ is fast and nimble and has that low center of gravity you need on those slopes. Forgot to mention: it's also way safer than your big ol' '44. Good luck in the future. Stay safe.

Do you not have the tires filled, that makes a big difference having all that extra weight. Glad your not hurt, think it will be ok after sitting for awhile, as others have said , I would turn the engine over by hand instead of risking using the starter .

I thought the exact same thing. No weight in the tires. I have always moved with tractors with filled tires and I would not have thought twice about mowing that slope.

Glad you are ok! Curious if you could take a moment to determine the`pitch of that area, degrees or drop over a distance. This information could help some of us in similar situation stay safe. I also think I remembering you saying that your tires are NOT filled/ballasted? Any thoughts on wheel weights since they are somewhat easier to remove? Cheers!

When I bought the tractor they had a used set of wheel extenders the weights around 400 pounds that I was going to buy but they sold right before my tractor was ready. I need to look into something or stay out of that area.

@@NorthwestSawyer Widening out the wheelbase width as wide as possible would also greatly help with the tractor's side stability. Narrow compact tractors have no business being on side hills. I've seen them rolled over far too often, and I've seen people die on them as well. Not cool. Additionally, that loader also puts the center of gravity of that tractor up even higher. Being that it's a quick attach loader, take it off when you're mowing! Enough people have already spoke of additional tire ballast and extra iron weights, etc. So, no need to beat that dead horse. Glad you survived. Let this be a lesson and don't do it again! Nobody wants to read about you in the obituaries! Be safe, you only get 1 short life in this world.
