Got the new tractor home.
When I was done playing with it drove it into garage.
Forgot to check if it would fit through the door with the ROPS up.
It should have fit by a couple inches, it did. But the first time I was going to drive in real slow to double check, I got lucky.
Seems like the older I get the more I forget.

Welcome to the club. What drives me nuts the most is when I'm talking with someone and I go to tell them about something I've dealt with for years and I forget the name of the item and the name should pop right out. IE: telling someone about TBN and the name escapes me.

I just put 4 hrs. on the BH, first time I ever used one. Expected to do something. But, I was careful, on steep ground, no less. The front of the tractor did come up off the ground a few times while driving back up to the house which made me pucker a few times:).

Last week. Removed the backhoe and installed the bushog. Did not ensure the lift arms would clear the backhoe subframe. Well I did not have the bushog centered and when I lifted the unit it swung over to one side. As I continued to lift the lift arm caught under the backhoe subframe and bent. I removed used a hammer and one of many rocks nearby and straightened it. Luckly no parts broke.

Yes, well new as of 5-7-10, 30 hrs on it so far.....when the tractor was rolling over the BH arm was streched out straight and swung around to my left as I was in the drivers seat.....I was only going to move it a couple feet when a sapling moved the control lever....and VIOLA....instant flip....

Quite exciting to say the least....pride was the only thing hurt here:ashamed:
