Was snow blowing path around back of house today. The dog run drop line caught on the ROPS work light. The hook was hung over the storm door handle. The door is ok, but broke the handle off.

My wife saw it happen from the inside. The door suddenly opened and closed, then I unhooked the line from the tractor.

Dang, shaeff, you jinxed me. Clipped the side of the garage door with the side of the FEL bucket this morning. I was looking backwards, trying to move the last bit of snow off the driveway with the rear blade. Nobody saw me do it ... so ...

Sorry! I nearly ran the bucket across the hood of a parked car in my driveway today while clearing snow and swinging the plow around! WAY too close for comfort!

Also, if nobody saw you do it, then technically it didn't really happen, eh!?

I have thought about unhooking my pallet forks for that reason, there much easier to lose. I have just been using the rear blade to move snow and have pallet forks up front, came super close to taking out the side of a car the first snow fall, thought I had feet, turns out was closer to inches lmao

I did exactly that, except I didn't miss. My wife's car, which I have her park outside now so that the tractor can be in the garage made it even worse for me to have to tell her. I contemplated not saying anything, seriously contemplated, but wanted to do the right thing.

The next day, she went shopping and was able to see what I had done, she said, "you know, if you didn't tell me, I would have thought someone hit me in the parking lot"

That was a MISTAKE Brian !
Not hitting her car, ...but telling her that you hit her car.
Ten/Twenty/Fifty years from now, she will still be reminding you that you hit her car.
PLUS: Over time, the story will grow to how you DESTROYED the front end of her car.
They NEVER forget!

I do occasionally like to bring up the time the wife ran down and murdered one of the yard hydrants with the bushhog.

Lmao!! So true, on the 40th wedding anniversary I can see her saying, it's a good thing I didn't leave you all those years ago for totaling my car with your tractor bucket. Lol

It will deff be a fun story to remember for years to come.

Maybe let her park in the garage now lol.

Wow, that's impressive. Must have done some real damage.

I put high suction, high lift blades on my 7' finish mower with three blades once and then ran over the hose at a high RPM on the assumption nothing would happen. Took over an hour of cutting, swearing and Rolling Rock to get all the hose out from under.
