Recovering my tipped Kubota BX23s tractor

Every time I see a small tractor on its side the loader is raised up high. I never move my tractor unless my bucket is as colse to the ground as I can get it.

Ol' guy here. Been turning wrenches for bout 45 years now.Pop the injectors out then crank with the starter.A lot of fluid will blow out:probably 100% oil. If you don't remove the injectors and there is ANY oil on the piston tops you will trash the engine when you turn it over either with the starter or a wrench on the flywheel with the 4' cheater that will eventually be used. And why the heck was the loader raised so high where you had the tractor? Rough uneven ground, narrow wheelbase tractor: keep loader LOW or: well you now know why.:cat-orange-whistling:

Impressed with your positive attitude and your work ethic.

You had your loader boom all the way up in the air just before you tipped it over. Keep your loader down low as much as possible. You were lucky.. With as much clearing as you want to do with your subcompact you need a grapple. with a grapple a lot of times if it's tippy you can quickly drop your loader with the tree grappled and save yourself unlike with your forks cause you can't clamp your trees. I have had a grapple for about 20 years so I've been there, and haven't turned my 45 hp tractor over yet. Been close.

Thanks for showing all of us that this happens the blink of an eye , glad your ok.

I rolled my Kubota B a couple of months ago. It wasn't a slow roll it happened very quickly. I ended up with a torn rotor cuff.

Might as well grease those hard to get at grease fitting while there handy😅

Ballast the rear tires! And it's a pain but every time you start to turn lower the bucket or the forks. I like at the end of the video you said ... That went pretty good 😂 🤷‍♂️

There's a lot of people who buy equipment that have no😮 idea how to run it and that's why this happened .

Don't use the starter to turn it over. Use a socket on the crank to feel the resistance. I'm sure there are other YT videos on recovering from a tip over.

At least nobody got hurt and you are smart enough to know not to try and start it right away . Hope it works out ok .

It's easy to see how you dumped it. Look how high the bucket is!!

Good Recovery thank god nobody was hurt. It happens so fast eh...Thanks for sharing, Cheers Mike

That's something you try to avoid but accidents do happen. Glad you had the Roll Bar to help keep you safe. I hope I never do that with my J.D. 750 with loader. Glad you didn't try to start it and sounds like it will be fine.

Hope you have good insurance, you are going to need it!

Nice video. I agree with the others about the forks being high, but sh-- happens and you learn from the experience. I have almost tipped my compact tractor on multiple occasions. Keep up the positive attitude and keep putting out content. Thanks for the Video. Subbed, Liked and watched complete. -Tod

I’d say based on where those folks where you leaned a valuable lesson. Glad you weren’t another tractor statistic.

My Kioti CX2510 doesn't fit in my garage unless I put the ROPS down and I often forget to put it back up when i drive it out of my garage and this makes me want to make sure I always put the bar up when I'm using the tractor. Glad all is well.

Should have used the roll bar to right it, keep the loader down centre of gravity is kept down

This is why you never have the loader all the way up on uneven ground.. even though it's still surprises me doesn't look that hilly
