[QUOTE="spitzair, post: 119694, member: 3333"] Very common for this to happen with the way these machines are balanced. When you have no load in the bucket the majority of the weight of the machine is on the rear axle. When you put the bucket down on the ground with then cutting edge aimed straight down the weight of the bucket and arms is essentially taken off the front wheels. When the hydraulics bleed off over time what little pressure remains in the rams to hold the front wheels down and weight of the bucket and arms up will bleed off and now that the weight of the bucket is supported by the ground the machine tips backwards due to the remaining majority of the weight being behind the rear axle and over she goes. This is one of the big reasons you need to put supports under the rear of the machine when tipping the cab back especially with no attachment on the front… clear as mud eh? [/QUOTE]
