- Don't let this happen to you! My tractor fell off the jacks and I had to call a wrecker service to help me out! While no one was hurt, and the tractor did not sustain any damage the situation could have been a lot worse with just a few changes in circumstances. I wanted to share my mistakes to try to help someone not make the same silly mistake I made.

Thank you for your support!
Yes, I underestimated the weight of a tire once and it almost ended badly. I really like your videos.
Thanks for watching
Give yourself credit for trying to do it yourself! Thanks for the video.
i have thought about this too...but my 700 lb tires are a concern. Falling off the jack wasn't on the list. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah like I said in the video I think it was all because I left the loader off the ground allowing the tractor to pivot on that front axle, so if you could get it sured up to where it can’t rotate you would be good to go.
I would never toss a stone. Done plenty of sketch in my 63 yrs. I know for us here, on my place - we have crap clay soils - and you put anything on it, without some support, makes for an unstable place to jack from. After my brother had a similar issue - I had cut a bunch of 24x24 inch plates out of 1/4 and 3/8 steel plate. I have a bunch of them. That gives me a solid platform to work off.
And yes - I have turned the tires on the Deere 850 - to get a better stance - less side shock - in winter when I am snowblowing. The L39 is twice as heavy. Much more care. The 49 D4 - 29,000 #'s. Effin careful with it!
My point - listen and watch and work as safe as you can! Get help!!! Another set of eyes is invaluable. ME and my brother start, when we agree. And sometimes - we dont for a bit. We just dont what either of us -- OR YOU GENTS - to get hurt. Cheers
The loader on the ground would definitely help. Also cribbing made with 4 by 6 blocks would help constructed like the house or barn jacking companies use. Rough sawn 4 by 6 is cheap insurance versus those tippy little jack stands. And the floor jacks are on wheels so they can allow side movements.
Good on you for doing it yourself but it looks like maybe you could have used a better place to set up. It comes across on camera as though you set up on an area with a slope to it.
