| Wow I agree with everyone else glad to hear that you made it off ok. Once you get the d14 running you will have to get good at backing down the hills... |

Wow, you sure were lucky. I remember reading about an accident like that in NY w/in the last two years that killed the guy. He had to much weight in the hay wagon, brakes not adjusted right, and steep hill. It pushed him and jack knifed. I weighed a dry 4X4 round bale. It weighed 550 lbs. You've got more in that wagon than your D14 weighs I think. Plus that's a thrower wagon, there's a lot of weight to hold back empty. Tim ------------- 1950 WD 1959 D14 1955 WD45 1976 7000 B 207 |

| Tractor data shows a weight of 3500 for the d14 so you are right the hay alone would out weigh the tractor. That has me thinking as I was planning on pulling a hay wagon with my d15. I hadn't really thought about that because we always just used the 100hp 4wd Same tractor to pull the hay wagon back in the good old days. I think that was because you where lucky to get a Same to do that much work. The difference between a Same and a Deere is with Same you did get what you paid for. |

| may I ask how steep the hill was? Also, can someone point out some good literature on tractor safety? Seriously, I know how to repair these things, but I'm a city boy, I could use some literature on how to be safe on tractors. |

Wow glad you are OK. Friend did something similar with a 400 bu gravity bin that was too heavy for a D-14 but only ended in a jackknife with a damaged hood section. This is why my new 600 bu. gravity wagon has four wheel surge brakes. ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |

After reading this thread and wondering about HOW you're going to get the D-14 upright, I gotta bump up the priority to get working brakes on my 6by10 tandem dump trailer! I only use it to haul horse manure 3 miles at < 25MPH BUT I just spent $$$ putting ALL new brakes on my 97 F150. Would like to see pictures of you getting her back on all fours . I'm thinking you lock the front axle, then pull it sideways ?

| I am guessing it is already up right. I would have tried to block the rear tires. Then hook a chain on the front somewhere and pull it backwards and up with a center of rotation on the back wheels. That is how I flipped my 4 wheeler once. |
