I'm not sure I understand your post but I'll take your advice anyway.
From here on in I will wear my good 100% beaver felt - considering where I live I get funny looks when I wear it off the farm anyway.....

My best friend was bush hogin' when he noticed the smell of gas. He was driving a diesel tractor. He was in the habit of keeping a chainsaw between the steel ribs on the bush hog just in case he needed it. It had bounced off. You could fit all the pieces he found in a 12 oz. coffe cup and he never heard the mower eat it.

Nylon tow rope winds around the spindle and the end hooks make great rockets.

Don't lay down in a bed of fire ants while trying to unwrap baling twine from the blades :eek:

Don't throw your chain, axe and shovel in the FEL bucket, then go move a pile of dirt. It makes them much harder to find, later. ;)

apiece of old carpet buried in a garden makes a great fur ball in a rototiller,
still haven't gotten all that sucker out.

The worst I've done was one day cutting hay and near the end of the day, I discovered my wallet missing. I really never expected to see it again, nor the money that was in it, the credit cards, etc. However, as I was leaving the field, I found it undamaged on the ground where I had entered that field. I figure someone was looking out for me that day.

Once while brush hogging a pasture for a neighbor, I noticed the engine on my Kubota straining like it was working much harder than usual, but I hadn't heard anything that I'd run over, the grass was pretty light, so I stopped, raised the brush hog and found a good length of rope wrapped around the spindle.

And Billy, I never laid in the fire ants, but my brother used my Kubota and brush hog and got a lot of barbed wire wrapped up on it, and then laid in the fire ants. He was brush hogging an unfamiliar and overgrown lot for the volunteer fire department to set up a carnival.

Another vote for cell phones losing the battle.
Also when shredding an overgrown pasture for a friend, they will usually forget to tell you about the 15 miles of barbwire and rotted fence posts that was dumped in a washout near the bayou. The large chicken snake that also got tangled up in that mess will wait till you are laying under the shredder before losing his temper and trying to bite everything around him.
And yes, I do HATE snakes!!!!!!

Mboulais beat me to the chainsaw versus the rotary cutter, but I thought I would mention the lesson my friend taught me. Never carry a brand new chainsaw on a tractor while bush hogging. He purchased it, gas'd it up and was heading out to use it. Figured he would take the tractor and bush hog the path to the back of his place. His wife didn't quite understand when he came back and got in the truck and went to town and purchased another identical chainsaw. She just figured it was on sale so he wanted a spare...
