hey hasn't everyone rolled a 1.5T
if you look hard you can see a 3" wooden fence post going through the cab, it scrapped my back as I got launched out, on to my weeding ring finger that broke, two months before I got married.
still you live and learn

indeed caught the bucket on unexpected resilient root, having balanced the 360 on the path because I was rushing.GB_Groundworks wrote:mikey_c haha you pull that off the step on the root?

did you just set the arm to offset dig(so it would be sticking upright) and right it with a bit of body weight, done that before as well haha or crane/hiab etc?

with hindsight I could have righted it myself, but got the hire company to come and rescue me. chap used a 3T machine, asked if I wanted him to pull the tree stump out, it moved next doors lawn so we told him to stop. dug it out by hand
your right mick i was lucky, wife banned all heavy plant after that, had to rent another 1.5t when she was at her mothers for a week

no just their time (£60) at the extra fuel cost of bring out the 3t on low loader (£10)

you could have righted it pretty easy with its own strength if it would run long enough on the deck, i hired one of those little tracked skip loaders, 500kg capacity, didnt tell me left track handle liked to stick, rolled it first load, just flicked it over with mini and gave it a spray with the hose, they don't need to know haha
