Hmm. Where to start? Caught tip of loader bucket backing out of garage at slight turn. " looked like enough room"
Wedged top of ROPS under bottom of garage door opening. Then knocked 3 bird houses down with ROPS.
It's ALL good now ;)

Ba ha ha ha!

I almost speared myself with a broken branch while clearing brush. That scared the daylights out of me. I was 2" from a branch penetrating my right eyeball. I need to build a cab!

Other than that, I took a notch out of the siding on my outbuilding.. not watching my bucket while skidding a log. Also scraped the side of the horse barn I just built. Again, watching rear wheels, and not the FEL. I've gotten much better since then.

Well there was the corner of the house.
I'm now well aware of the offset of my 7' backblade.

Fun to read thread... Mine won't fit in the garage, they have cabs but that hasn't stopped me from backing my big Lucknow rear mount blower in the shop door and forgetting how high the top of the discharge chute is........ Aluminum fascia folds up real nice.....

Pretty hard to hear the crunch with the windows and doors closed and the radio on......

The there was the time I TKO'd my wife with the backhoe boom... We won't talk about that one.:confused2:

Some things need to remain unposted. That is one of them. I did pull a shot about 3 cab tractors ago (all Kubota's of course), I was doing some land clearing for a friend and left the drivers side door open and hooked a big branch. It's amazing what a little pile of broken glass a full sized tractor door makes and how you go from a door to a floppy gasket and a handrail that connects to nothing................ in about 2 seconds.

The reality sets in at the dealer when you price a replacement door... almost a grand and your insurance deductible is a grand..... Sometimes being a good friend and lending a helping hand can be expensive....

The bigger they are, the more they cost to fix.

I damaged the house soffit with a dump truck. I was going to chain the tailgate and spread the gravel in the landscape like a real wise guy. Well you can guess what happened. I guess I need a shorter truck or taller soffit. I had north of 3 tons on a 1 ton truck so I guess that leaves a taller soffit.

Remember, lefty loosey righty tighty next time. :)

When I am laying on my back reaching up I get all messed up no matter what. I have to do the "open twist top beer cap" motion to get oriented. For some reason that recollection is ingrained.

I run my electric fence wire over the top on certain gates instead of burying it. Then forget to lower the FEL when going through them.

Got a basketball goal with the loader.
