I had a brand new 4X4 Dodge Ram and had my tractor on the trailer behind it and with my wife sitting next to me in the truck I back up in front of the Barn and cattle shute --I was parallel to it and misjudged my turn to staighten up while backing and got within 1/2 inch of the head gate on the cattle shute and instead of stopping and unloading the tractor and disconnecting the trailer, to save time I just attempted to get it starightened out and in so doing put a nice crease in the right fender of the banc new truck...with the Mrs. watching...I won't repeat what she said...LOL

Alright, I'll play this game....
I have knocked over a wood pile. And, I have knocked over a portion of 2 other wood piles.:laughing::laughing::laughing:
That freakin' FEL is little help to me when I am backing up.!!

cut a hole in the side of my metal building with the bucket on the FEL. Pulled down the power wire to my Pump shed with the FEL. Broke the table on my radial arme saw when i pulled the tractor in the garage to change the oil, when i set the FEL down it caught the edge of the table. . . That FEL has cost me a lot more than what the dealer charged me.:ashamed: I'm just glad i havent run it into the wife's car yet

My wife was helping me cut up some limb-wood by holding it over a saw horse
while I zinged it off with the chain saw and threw it in the tractor bucket
while she got another piece ready. The saw seemed to be running hot and loosing power. After a while it quit and bound up. I said to the wife "well I guess we're done with this for today" and when I started picking up the saw and gas the wife said "How come you're using the lawn mower gas today"

OUCH!
I went the other way...........
Nearly pulled my guts out and cussed my brains out trying to get a small push mower running for the first time one season............
Turns out they won't run on diesel oil...........
Did it right in front of the hired hand, too. Still getting ribbed for it.
And I have too many other lessons I have learned, that I don' wanna talk about.......
