Worst Boo-Boo with tractor ??

[Tymmerr]

Ok, so I now have 27.2 hours on my new T273..damage so far..ripped out 2 3/4" sprinkler pipes..knocked over my olive tree, tried to scrape next to a concrete walkway and pulled it up and cracked it 5 feet away with the FEL. Was trying to push some dirt with the front wheels turned and broke the bead on the left front tire...when I went to lift the front wheels off the ground with the loader to reseat the bead, I hit the eaves of my house with the ROPS...this tractoring is harder than it looks ! Is it part of the learning curve...or am I just not cut out for the tractor life ?

When I learned to operate my skidsteer, i put throttle at an idle till I got used to it

If you continue at the rate of one accident, every 5 - 6 hours, I think you will have your answer.

Slow and steady goes far in a day. Make sure you have thoroughly digested the safety section of the operator's manual.

Thats whats called learning. By this time next year you'll have some great stories and will be up to par. I think we all have some events we didn't expect with our tractors.

Two memorable lessons for me were. Don't wash it in the lake because accidents can happen. Which led to, how to change connecting rods.
