No one was hurt and nothing broke

When that big loader decides it wants to go the 170 doesn't have much to say about it.

Flipped it back in the rubber side changed oil and filters topped off all the other fluids hooked back on to the loader and got it moved out of there.

 :o One old logger told me that was the best time to grease the underside. You don't have to crawl under it that way. :D

Second the comment above....

Looks as tho she was on some what of level ground. Was the loader pushing as you made a turn ?
A log in the hands worth two in the bush !

Did you get her back on wheels just with your feller buncher ?    Me too ,  don't understand how that happened .
Make sure you know how to fall properly when you fall and as to not hurt anyone around you.
Also remember, it's not the fall what hurts, its the sudden stop. !!

Glad all is OK. Reminds me of a 18 wheeler wreck.

i bet that door felt like it weighted 500lbs trying to push that open to get out. a 5th wheel dolly might be a good investment

Skidder was making a turn left rear tire came off the rim and the loader tires were just coming down off of a small hump. Everything went wrong all at the same time

It went back on its wheels very easy with just the feller bunched
We had to help him open the door

It happened just as the forester for the mill we work for was pulling into the job. And the consullting forster the did the sale was all ready there. Also the head state forster for the county showed up before we got it back on its wheels

Well when a tire comes off the rim with a lot of weight behind while you're making a turn I believe stuff like that happens. Glad everything is fine.
And yes with a dolly you wouldn't have all that weight on the skidder.
