|  Stupid is what Stupid does ...
I needed to load a semi with hay, as wet as its been I decided to use the loader and a rear spike and keep the rig on the hard road thus I could bring two at a time... here's what happens when the toplink brackets hit the glass ....
So now I am waiting for a price ... any thoughts ? I'm quessing in the $500 area!!!

Cut yourself some lexan and put back in the hole. That Safety glass gets everywhere and makes a mess. Plus it can still cut you up good. I hope that you walked away ok. Don't feel bad there are plenty more mistakes made that are worse than that..
