Last summer, I managed to break the RF bevel gear case and shaft working in the woods. I got that all fixed up and working well for a couple of months, until yesterday, when I managed to do the same thing to the LF. This time, I even managed to do a bit more damage, shearing off the connecting end of the steering hydraulic cylinder and (I think) bending the threaded end of the tie rod.
My wife is considering banning me from taking my tractor into the woods anymore, but I hate to think of it as just a big, orange mower and manure mover. On the other hand, maybe I can parlay this setback into another piece of equipment, like a dozer, loader or track hoe.
I'm not keen on the cost of repairs, but the tractorless down-time will be a bigger burden, since I don't have another good way to move round bales to the horses.
The fun never ends!
