What must I do before I start it?
PUSH IT BACK OVER AND TAKE PHOTOS.
(geeez, you new guys...)
What must I do before I start it?
i'm from maryland where groundhogs are everywhere and they can be extremely dangerous. tractor accidents, animals breaking their legs, it happens. they are large animals and make large holes. you don't always see them depending on the land/ground cover. it should only be a problem on steep terrain though, not flat land.could elaborate on the issue of groundhogs and tractors?
Any high or low place in or on the ground can up set a tractor especially if it's on a slope.Now you guys have me scared.
I'm planning to buy a tractor soon, probably a BX24 so I've been looking at BX threads here, and I joined yesterday to ask questions.
I only have 3 acres so I think the BX24 would be perfect for me. My neighbor has a couple of full size older tractors and he was telling me that he's concerned about seeing groundhogs on his property because they can tip a tractor over. I guess he means if they have a large underground home and you run over it, it could cave in and tip the tractor or throw the operator off. His old tractors don't have ROPS or seatbelts.
I usually try to read and read some more in a forum before I ask a question that's probably already been answered but I was wondering if anyone has experience or could elaborate on the issue of groundhogs and tractors?
