Now that right there is funny no matter where you are! As for the rest of you clowns, what the heck is wrong with you? I've never done anything that comes close to your indiscretions :rolleyes: ;)

I used to clean under the belly mower on my B7800 Kubota by just hooking a chain to the front bumper of that tractor and lifting it off the ground with a 90 HP bigger tractor. It worked great until I just barely nicked the hood on the B7800 with the edge of the bucket on the bigger tractor. You would be shocked to see how much a hood, decals, lights, light surrounds and grill cost for a B7800. Now I do it the right way. :)

And if that were the case.... if most of us added up the costs of mishaps over our lifetimes, we'd all be working on our master's degree. :)

Ain't no doubt about that!

Once upon a time in LennyLand, I used to build small wooden boats.
Sometimes, pieces have to be glued and screwed together to build up thickness like a rudder blank.
Glue and epoxy needs some warm temperature to set.
One cold wintry week, Missus Lenny went to visit kids leaving Lenny all alone.
Lenny laid up two pieces of 3/4" plywood for a rudder blank over plastic on Missus Lenny's antique cherry dining table in her oh so warm kitchen. He was very very careful with the plastic drop cloth placement and glue as the table was the wife's cherished family heirloom.

It is now a proven fact that 1 3/4" wood screws will go through two pieces of 3/4" plywood, a thin layer of glue between them and a 3mil thick drop cloth and into the highly finished top of an antique dining room table every 4-6 inches when used to clamp said blanks together.
Approximately 30-40 screws were used for consistent clamping pressure.

This had the added unwanted advantage of securing the rudder blank rather well to top of said table.

Temporary repairs was easily done however by reinstalling the previously removed tablecloth and centerpiece left on the table before the Missus' departure for holidays.

It got rather loud in LennyLand when Missus went through her ritual of removing tablecloth and waxing cherished families heirloom dining table shortly after her return to home.

After 10 years, Lenny still receives go to **** looks when table is discussed or noticed even after professional repairs were done by Lenny.

Wow!, I am surprised you are still with us. :D

My thought too. Thinking that wooden boat might have been repurposed if the wife was handy making boxes.

I tipped over one motorcycle, which creased the fuel tank and knocked the other over, generating about $450 of damage in about three seconds. So that would be $540,000 per hour - way ahead of you!

I will nominate myself. I was spreading mulch around my property with my 5035. I would pull up to a tree and rake out whatever mulch I needed from the bucket and then proceed to the next tree. In my haste to get the job done, I carried my rake and shovel up onto the operators seat with me as I moved to the next tree. Problem was as I was pulling up to the tree, my rake rolled over directly underneath the clutch pedal. Instead of a nice easy coasting stop, my bucket slammed into the tree before I could powershift back to N. My bucket has a nice bend in the cutting edge on it now to remind me of my boneheadedness.

Ouch!, That had to hurt!

A welding or fab shop can easily remove the dent. I, ahh, err, have a "friend" that bent his bucket. :D

Tell you "friend", that you can remove a lot of them yourself with a chain and an hydraulic jack.. But I wouldn't really know... I heard it from a "friend".
