    Watch out with the FEL

    Got complacent after dozens of trips past this corner of the house with the tractor and was done with the project when this happened...

    I bet that sent you off your seat. Ive hit my shop twice, numerous trees and fence post with loaders. Got to where I wear my seatbelt belt, its not fun hitting the windshield. Hope you didn’t get bruised up.

      Just caught the edge. no abrupt stop. I was looking down to clear the fence post and forgot the bucket was too high.

        Man, that sucks but thanks for turning it around as a reminder for us. I did something dumber than I've done in a long time couple weeks ago also due to complacency.

        Patch it up and re-group.

          I see guys all the time carrying their bucket high, mostly farmers. I was raised running equipment and we were always taught to carry blades and buckets low.

            Me too but the gap in the fence necessitated raising it about fence height

              Good start. You just as well take it the rest of the way down....

                    Hey, that's not too bad. I once had an employee use the front end loader to clip a temporary classroom building at an elementary school and knock it off its blocks....with a teacher inside. Kids had been gone about 10 mins. It was quite the event.

                    Nobody was hurt. Damage to building was minimal. It turned out way better than it could have.

                      A, glad you're okay. Lol, so I started to type a story that happened back in my landscaping days in high school. Then realized we had way too many stories...never anything too expensive, or that hurt anything serious. But dang lol those UG sprinkler lines and low voltage lighting are way more places than a person would ever expect!

                        I had some of your guys on my job site a couple
                        months ago. Wasn’t all that bad.

                          Could have cut a fiber line while digging. [emoji30]

                              killing two birds as it were. All my neighbors got new roofs in the last round of storms but me. It's probably time.
