Yeah , and what else is so simple in life that hindsight didn't demonstrate to you? Didn't know there was an issue until this time. Been doing it the same way for 26 years. Its like leaving your house by the front door for 40 years and one day an icicle that formed over night falls off as you are descending the stairs and impales your skull. You then get to say "In winter, leave the house from the back door or wear a hard hat"? I suppose you can ponder how many other things one does that imperils one on a daily basis that one never realized before. That is a refreshing mindset as you pick up the chainsaw. Cheez, even if this becomes overwhelming and you stay in bed the rest of your life for safety sake, one can get bedsores and perhaps die from the infection.
I never made an "issue" of this. I never blamed the tractor, nor wished to sue JD nor did I post this to say "See what can happen to you so be careful out there" No I posted this because of its weirdness and peculiarity and kinda comical nature because that's the first thing I did was to laugh. I just picked the tractor up and went on working. So I thought I'd share it and that's the whole ball of wax to it as far as I'm concerned. Make whatever you want of it that makes you feel good. To all that wished me well, thank you but not once did I feel in peril or even had a "whew" moment.
