Freak Accident

I have dragged countless trees. You never know when it's your last one.

Sad, working in and around the woods or trees without a complete cage is a huge risk and even with an enclosed cage...some have been crushed or impaled by a limb that came through the gaps in the operators cage.

I got whipped once when I was first using a chain to pull 2 to 4 inch trees out. (No cab or cage, just the ROPS.)
I got a longer chain and wear a hard hat now.

Sad. I have had the roll bar break out so dead limbs that concerned me on the high 265 MF. Was thankful for the four point heavy roof on the JD 310 backhoe when a small tree I dug up did not behave as I ordered. There are just so many things to watch when in the woods.
