On my tractor the rops are in front of the driver. Great idea except in trees. Saturday I was looking to my left when a branch on one of our apple trees hung on the rops on the right. Of course when I turned it released and thankfully missed my eye but got me from the nose across the cheekbone. It was a baseball bat sized limb and I saw good stars, but could telli skated with nothing broken. Well. That night it started to swell. I figured no big deal. This morning, with both eyes nearly closed up I got a trip to the doctor. The surprise is that it was an allergic reaction to something on the bark. mold, moss, whatever. 5 day treatment of prednisone and I will be right as rain.
