Bet that tractor that ran away is a auto command. They aren't safe on jobs like that.

Is it due to the conditions? I’m assuming it locked up initially and after that it was a case of try and keep it straight and hold on.
Lucky there was a bit of space at the bottom.

Yeah, mines run off twice. Just wet greasy grass and steep field. Luckily I was fert spreading. If I had a trailed implement it would probably have rolled over. That guy above did well to keep it straight and get down the hill.

The wheels just all seem to lock up. When you try to reduce speed and it goes into a slide like a big sledge. Maybe its just cause I'm a rubbish driver.🤦‍♂️

Big wide tyres are great for staying on the top and not leaving a mark on ground but if it's wet and greasy you want narrow to dig in and get traction. All the wide ones do in the right conditions is create a layer of snot under them and away you go big sledge.

Over as in tipped over?

Was speaking to local ad guy and they had been trying him for work. Downside was they had to supply accommodation and living expenses. It could have rained for a month and still had to pay them even if sat idle.

Which is fair enough if there making the commitment to come here.
