One of those days.

[silverking]

I'm sure we all have had one, lets hope this one covered me for awhile.

Start off about 11:00 and get just out of the driveway and a front tire goes flat and comes halfway off the rim. so I take it off and go back, work it back onto the rim, take it back to the tractor and slime both front tires for good measure, after carrying my compressor back and forth a few times I'm ready to go. About 1:00 I am out on the back 40 pushing up some piles to burn off from the logging that was just completed when what was left of a small tree broken off at about 3 foot high and about 1/2inch around finds its way through the grill work and goes right to the lower pulley and pops the belt off. Well after a 15 minute walk(one way) back to the shed for the tools to loosen the alternater and get the belt back on and tight I'm ready to go. About 4:30 I punch a hole through the headlight cover(did'nt get the bulb) with a branch I was'nt paying enough attention to i guess.

So I was born on good friday, maybe it was one of those get all the bad luck in before the end of the year things.

Happy Easter to all,
Silverking

Hmm... seems that all you did was USE your tractor.... and when you do that, stuff happens, sometimes... glad it is all fixable and no blood!!

Ok... keep your calm... park the tractor somewhere and run!... Don't touch it for the rest of the day. The bad luck should be gone tomorrow.

Seriously, that was a bad day indeed. Sorry to hear that. At least you're not hurt. Once in a while, days like that happen. Be safe.

At least you're not hurt.

What Stef said. I took a dive off a ladder last December, broke left wrist and tore every ligament in my right hand. Doctor bills and lost wages = half what my tractor cost.

Worst tractoring day I got THREE flats in 20 minutes. Guys at the tire shop were impressed.
