What have you messed up, with your tractor? Including ROPS into garage...

[prichard]

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.

Been there done that.

Oh I have popped a wheelie with the ROPS/Garage door thing. Nicked about every post supporting my deck where I can drive under it... and scarred many slats on my fence behind my garage. Also a few corner trim pieces on my garage. The Piranha tooth bar which is my favorite addition is the culprit almost all of the time. The PTB teeth on the ends of the bucket seem to always be on the prowl to nick something.

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!

Oh how true this is!!!! I have yet to figure out how a 60 year old red head cannot find where she left her cell phone...half the time...and the other half cannot find her dang car keys. But...she can remember 100% of the stupid things that I have ever done in 40 blissful years of marriage.

It's not just red heads with that "gift"

Yes, but anything stupid they have ever done is gone with the wind and they forget. They say the dumb stuff they did never happened. Give me a break.

If you mention it to her again, you might end up with several breaks.

Oh oh oh that reminds me.
I was building up the ground a bucket at a time and rocks retaining wall under my deck.
Got too close to the downhill side and tractor slid sideways just enough to get the ROPS behind a deck supporting post on the downhill side.
That post now wears a chunk knocked out of it to remind me to not tilt the tractor downhill under the deck on the downhill side!
Thought I was going to have to remove that thing. Couldn't go front or backwards but about 8 inches.
Drank most of my remaining six pack working my way out of that one.

I saw a lawn guy get his zero turn rops stuck behind a power pole guy wire on a slope with similar results. He was less than excited as it was his last pass of the day on a Friday afternoon and it took him over an hour to get out.

Funny how a few beers helps with a solution!

This wasn't my mess but it was painful! Shortly after I took delivery of my new F150, I went to a loading dock to take delivery of a new crated Delta Unisaw. The dock was short handed and an office lady said she would load it. I was skeptical but after seeing her move around the warehouse I relaxed. Next thing I know, she somehow slid the forklift off the dock and half its weight ended up in my bed. I probably could have changed the front tires on my truck at this point. The forks pierced the bed and the crate bent the bed so that it just touched the cab. One week old and bed destroyed. I cried.
