Neighbor lady called yesterday wanting me to bring the MX over and pull a gate post out. Knowing how rock hard our clay and rock soil is I declined and suggested they dig down some and cut it off.
20 minutes later I see my neighbor roar off the hill and down the road in her direction in his new Yanmar.
Today that tractor neighbor calls me explaining that he bent the loader and sprung a quick attachment pin or plate on the machine. He explained that he will cut one loader arm off and weld it back on to reposition it.
Sorry to hear his misfortune. It's easy to exceed the loader capacity trying to pull something out of the ground.
If your neighbor asks you to do this just say no.
