Man, assuming you're not trolling, I'm glad you can post. I'm not an "operator", but I did learn how to half way drive/use one of those things - we had a hunting lease that was taken on the condition that the owner leave that trackhoe down there - and he did.

Every time we had to move that thing via a lowboy, we'd freaking draw straws as to who was "loading" it, and even the guy that farmed the place - who I WOULD consider an operator - was scared to load it, specifically because he'd seen a couple of them flipped (one of which caused a fatality).

So glad you're ok.

No it's a machine that we were looking to buy. We haven't paid for it yet

Don't buy it. It's been used. Get the one in the back.

At first glance I thought your thread title read "I just flipped a traphoe"
