We are no tractor specialists or anything of the sort, and we could be wrong, but tilting a tractor forward at a 45-degree angle and at the same time, having its mechanical arm extended all the way out, doesn't exactly sound safe, and in this case at least, it wasn't…
While the operator was attempting to bring the rear end of the tractor to the ground, the laws of gravity kicked and the vehicle fell on its back – fortunately without hitting anyone or crashing into the cars that were traveling on the road at the time.
To make a bad situation funny, the operator was trapped inside and a fellow worker had to bring in a ladder to get him out…
The YouTube poster says that the accident occurred in Sweden.

Inexperienced operator.
aaahhhahahah
Good thing they had those florescent green vests on or someone could have been hurt. I don't think this guy passed his high school physics class.
starting off on two wheels is no surprise it ends bad.
By the slow speed his work mate walked along afterwards, I'd say this has happened to them before!
Anyone know where it is? Only know that it is in sweden..
The operator could of avoiding this situation by slowly detracting the crane all the way first first before swinging it back. This would of prevented him from flipping over both ways, the pendulum effect.
