You would be surprised, some guys actually wheelie the skid loaders for fun. There's a lot of videos of this on youtube. The older machines are easier to tip backwards, and mine didn't even come with a roll over structure....nice! As for backing, what's this about not being able to see behind you? Perhaps different machines have more or less visibility?

But there's no "wheel" to be behind is there?

Actually I am sure a lot of you guys who run skid loaders deliberately pop on the back tires when making a turn on someone's lawn. I had a friend who would ask me to do the weekend jobs for him so he cound be home with his family, and I would run his 763 to spread mulch, remove debris, etc. Once I had a homeowner who was concerned the machine would flip but I explained it was so I wouldn't tear the grass up. He demanded I stopped doing it, but before I did I made him sign a paper saying we weren't responsible for lawn damage. Job went a lot faster but it was weeks before that lawn grew back.
