Rolled my rig backwards

[Kevin Q]

We had a touch of rain this morning and are expecting storms the rest of the weekend. Tried to get my lawn mowed quickly. I have a pretty good septic mound hill that I mow. I typically go down the steep part and up the easier side. As I was finishing it up my tires just skid about 80% of the way up. I had to let up on the gas to back down. I've done this plenty of times. My rear tire hit a newly dug dog hole and I flipped backwards. It happened fast but I knew this could be bad so I ditched off the back and rolled to the side. Luckily the tractor rested on the grass catcher. Could have been bad. Yes, that's my wife laughing at me.

We call that a wheelie

Talk about "Click Bait"!!! Glad you and your "rig" are safe and for the most part without injury!!

You know what you have to do. Steal the casters off of something and put them on bottom of the grass catcher so you can do that on purpose.

Had that happen to me on a 3 wheel ATC a time or two.
