On a dark and misty morning...
I stopped just inside the gate after dropping a round bale. Tractor safely in park, I hopped off and closed the gate securely. Spinning around I got a sudden jolt in my nose and found myself on the ground looking at the sky. Very thankful that I still have my right eye (even as bad as it is)
I really think the best plan is a cover for the tip that I can slide on after removing the bale. I keep the tip bright yellow and try to set it at the safest height. My property is crazy hills, and height or color wouldn't have mattered in this instance.
I have looked and don't see a purpose made cover. I am thinking of getting a horse 'Jolly Ball'. Cut a hole to fit then foam fill it. Chain it to the spear's frame.
Any other ideas?
btw, nose is healing nicely. My wife wasn't all in on a piercing, and definitely thinks I was best to forego the 4000 pound jewelry.
