Abstract: An anti-overturning system for an implement vehicle having a frame, a propelling engine, ground-engaging drive wheels at its sides, an operator''s platform, and adapted to carry a groundengaging implement at its forward end for vertical movement to follow ground contour, the system including automatic mechanism operable on laterally inclined ground to maintain the drive wheels, engine, and operator''s platform in their normal upright position and to maintain the center of gravity of the engine and operator''s platform laterally midway between the wheels so as to prevent lateral overturning, and mechanism operable to inhibit upward movement of said implement, or to exert a positive downward pressure on the implement, when the vehicle is headed downwardly on a slope, whereby to prevent forward overturning or tipping of the vehicle.
