What have you messed up, with your tractor? Including ROPS into garage...

Mowing the yard backed the hitch into the Vinyl on the side of my house.

If you are not putting dents in a truck you should have bought a SUV.

Funny! I've been saying that for years but I swapped SUV for station wagon. Every time I say it, someone gets their feathers ruffled.

I'd be fixing a lot of dents on the truck. If you are not putting dents in a truck you should have bought a SUV.

Sorry but I don't agree with the if you not smashing it you are not using crap.
My work truck has 900,000 miles. Up on the deck I carry off road fuel, tools, 2 asphalt mills, power broom, pallet forks.
Moves equipment every day. Everything on the decks gets used every day.
My trucks not dented up. If something gets bent/broken/dented I fix it.
I've put 2000 hours on my skid steer in 3 years, its not bent up/dented up and it gets used hard. If something gets damaged I fix it.
I had some damage to the back of the skid steer this year. I replaced the lights and panel that got broke and repainted the back. Looks like new again. Its called caring about your equipment and maintainance.

See what I mean?

Plowing snow one day I was pushing and dumping snow up over a steel t post that I had as a marker in a bank near a ditch. It was half buried and as I lowered the bucket it came down so that the hydraulic piping made contact with the top of the t post. The piping bent but I stopped just in time before I punctured or destroyed the tubing. Every time I use the tractor I see it and have a reminder to be careful!

I got a fence post last week. Even managed to poke a hole in the house with a set of forks once LOL.

Also poked a hole in siding with forks on.

The bed of my truck looks like a grenade went off in it. The body is in pretty good shape. There are a few dents mostly caused be loading firewood. I only fix stuff that affects the function of the truck. I plan on driving it until it falls apart. Why would I spend money on something that doesn't increase the value or do anything else? You have a real truck with a real bed. I can load stuff on the Chevy 3500 dump without hurting anything. Loading anything in a regular truck bed results in damage. Sometimes I bump into the 3500 with the tractor brush guard while loading. They share a little paint, but no harm done. Try bumping a regular truck bed with a tractor. It would collapse the whole bed side.

I agree. When I do something that destroys or makes worse something I own, I can't stand it because mostly it has been done with a touch of my own negligence. I have to fix it for two primary reasons:1. I like things that look nice. 2. To fix stuff usually takes a while to do it right so it's a form of self retribution which is better than self flagellation that I really feel like doing.

I've caught a couple of extension cords with the teeth on my bucket. Does that count?
