Tipping forward is a different story, but that was just due to a load that was too large. They would be a little more prone to side ways tipping as they are only about 1m wide vs about 1.5 on a larger machine. Any machine can tip, it depends on how careful you are and know what grade you are working on and not push it.Generally side on while working on a hill is fine, depending on grade. Never lift the arms higher than needed as the higher you go, the more the centre of gravity moves down hill and you risk toppling over.You will get a feeling for it pretty fast.Pick your machine size for the work you want to do. I love my 7 series sized machines. They can lift around 1 tonne, maybe a tad more if you push it. Good power and access. I'd never go for a smaller machine for the work i do around the yard.</blockquote>
