Not my first time driving a tractor but my first time with a tractor that had an FEL on it. I was building a new garage ont my house. to get the floor level we had to build a wall and fill it with crusher dust. I hired some masons to lay the blocks and then I had trucks dump the crusher dust in the middle of the floor and i would spread it around with the tractor. I was almost completely finished and was working on the last little bit of the top layer and watching my box blade as I was leveling out the top I looked up and i had hit a corner of the blocks with my FEL. I moved the tractor back and I had knocked off about ten blocks from the top row. I got some cement and put the blocks back in place. After my garage was finished a friend of mine came over and was admiring it. He mentioned that the block work looked really good except for that one corner. He wondered if the block layers had come back from lunch drunk before they did that corner. There is a list of items that I have had to repair or replace while I was learning that the front end loader has a really long reach when you are going backwards and turn the tractor.
