- John Deere 1025R tip overs are talked about all the time but are they a design flaw in the tractor, operator error or something else? I talk about the physics of a tip over, why tractors tip over, how to make your tractor more stable and finally give you my opinion on whether there is something wrong with the John Deere 1025R.

I'm always getting into something outdoors and would love to have you follow along.
Join me as I get outdoors with the #JohnDeere1025R and #JohnDeere4052R to do #habitatmanagement and plant #foodplots for #whitetaildeer and #wildturkeys. I have a newer #polebarn that has lots of projects going on inside of it and when I get to relax I will #hike, #hunt, #fish and do all kinds of other things.
I've got a Branson 2205h with the cab and whoa nellie is it top heavy! Ran over a small piece of sod the other day i didn't see and 1 of the back wheels came 4" off the ground. Definitely a pucker moment.
I’m not surprised to hear that. I’m sure the cab really moves the center of gravity!
The reason there unstable, pivot front axle there like a tricycle, thank god I have my Skidsteer for the tricky stuff.
Would love to have a skidsteer at our place.
Added a Curtis cab to my 2018 1025 r.. this change in COG has drastically made my tractor more tippy. I am very cautious using my tractor on any degree of incline now. Even using my snowblower crossways on my driveway apron can get you a bit nervous. I have added ballast to tires , use a quick hitch with weight bar and 4 suitcase weights @ 40lbs. Kept low. Hard to get used to that feeling. Not sure if JD makes any design changes if you order a new 1025R with their factory cab. Guess I’ll try a set of wheel spacers next.
I can imagine a cab would change the COG quite a bit.
I would be curious to see how much you gain with every inch of wheel spacer you add. Does it give you 1 degree. 2 degrees?
I also wonder about being “tippy”. I’ve never rolled a tractor but a pucker factor has made me nervous. Was I really that close or just a bit puckered?
Interesting that the math for these problems are nonexistent. I found a nice ballast vs front axle video last week. Tip angles should be more accessible vs the bullshit tippy stuff. I get concerned over 15° but many do up to twice that. I plan to level out my property holes. FYI small plot BX but some challenges.
Yea. I need to buy a gauge or something for my tractor to get a sense for how out of level I am. I think the pucker factor kicks in well before the rollover is imminent.
The reason is that people buy tractors. Most people should not own tractors.
For most people this is their first tractor and they need some training on them before being turned loose on one.
