Someone told me that every operator will take out their windshield with a tree at some point. I'm being very carefull and plan to prove him wrong. They were right in my case, It took me about 5 minutes to break mine...literally! Unloaded it in front of the shop and there was a dead tree out back so I thought "I'll just go knock that right down," got back there, reached up to give it a shove, and when I shook the tree a dead limb from overhead fell out and busted out the windshield....within 5 minutes of being unloaded the first time. That was the beginning of the lessons I have learned that made me a better and safer operator. Be careful! |
