2. If you use the loader bucket to haul tools to the work site and back, you will forget they are there and either dump the bucket or scoop something into it.

If you set the parking brake, 11 times out of 10, you'll drive with the parking brake for a while.

Gee, why is my tractor getting so sluggish :mur:
Oops, brake is still on!

 

[John0829]

In spite of the fact you fueled up in the morning that evening when you are as far away as you can possible get and need just 5 more minutes the fuel tank gets to "enough"

There will not be any traffic on your road, until you drive your tractor on it. Then there will be a parade.

The bottom limb on every tree is slightly lower than your canopy.

If you use your FEL bucket to carry firewood, despite warning yourself not to, you will always try to carry more pieces than will stay in the bucket as you transport it.

About the time you walk across the yard, check the oil, start the tractor, change implements, and drive to where you plan on working, it gets dark/starts raining.

Your filthy rich neighbors asks for tractor favors as their 2 cars setting in a huge garage could buy three of my tractors.

If you let someone else use your tractor, something will break and it really will not be their fault.

If you replace your bucket with pallet forks for logging eventually you will think it a smart idea to hang your gas containers on the forks on your last skid load of logs out of the woods for the day. On the way they will slide down the forks out of sight. You will forget they are there and proceed to pile the logs crushing the gas cans. You may even do it several times. I have known it to happen.

When borrowing a friends/neighbors implement, it will always be the wrong size or category hitch.

If you let someone borrow your tractor, it will break.

If you borrow something, it will break.

If you start to do a job, you will find something broken and not be able to finish the job.

If you buy something new, it never works as good as the old one.

 

[Cougsfan]

Even though you have thousands of bolts stored in various bins, they will all be SAE and your tractor needs a metric bolt.

#4) Sooner or later you will underestimate how far the loader sticks out in front of the tractor while turning.

Oh yeah, been there done that, 4X.

 

[Avenger]

Your dealer will have every part for every other tractor in stock, except for yours.

 

[cdaigle430]

Forgetting to fold ROPs before entering the garage with only a 7 foot height.

 

[mred2]

Any time you stop the tractor to get off, the only mud hole within 100 yards will be under your foot.

If you let someone use your tractor, it will sound different when you get it back.

The day you don't wear your boots to do something, that's when you get stuck.
