Brush hog accident(s)

[Jstpssng]

Another point which somebody has raised in the past. When people blow grass into the road it can be a hazard for motorcyclists, as it’s like hitting a patch of ice.

Most States have laws against littering the highway. Grass clippings on a roadway are as others have stated a traffic hazard, a hazard that could be deadly to a motorcyclist.

A few years ago my dad told me that he popped the clutch on his 8n with a bushhog on the back and fell backwards out of the seat and rolled back on top the bushhog. I don't know that it was running.

He said he didn't get hurt, not sure how. But he hadn't told me about that until after I talked him into selling it. He was still climbing that monkey bar of a tractor with a loader at 75 and with bad legs/feet. The way his loader fit on it you had to climb on the tractor from behind. I talked him into selling it and getting a little BX2200, which he loved and used for everything.

Bush hogging 6’ fall weeds in a remote 6 acre fallowed hay field down by the pond. Started early morning so the dew would help quell the dust and heat. Working from the outside in. Made about five passes when two camouflaged poaches stood up. Never know what you might find.

You are a good son.

When I was a kid, my parents came back from a motorcycle ride one night and told about seeing somebody out mowing their field… with two kids riding on the deck of the bush hog.

Oh, my, that's a special kind of stupid. I saw a guy driving a couple of kids around in the front bucket of his tractor. I'm sorry but that is just a recipe for disaster.

I know a guy who as a small child was riding on the fender of Dads tractor while he disced a field.
Yeah ~ you guessed it. He was seriously disfigured by the Discs when he fell off and they both lived the rest of their lives with that

My buddy broke a big glass window out of his house from 50 yards away

I mowed my yard one summer with a 6’ rear discharge finish mower behind my tractor. After shattering our full-window storm door from about 25 yards away I started shopping for a proper lawn mower again.

I was circling around a big maple in our yard and I’m not even sure what threw. I heard the hit and the whole window was blown into what seemed like a million little bits of glass on and around the front porch.

Just to the left of that door is a 10’ wide window. I count it fortunate that whatever it was it hit a $300 storm door instead.

Another thing about this. So person is sleeping in the weeds and brush comes by maybe 2-3 ft away on the pass before it eats you alive! How in the hell do you not wake up, jump up, and get the hell outta there?
This person had to be in an unconscious drunken stupor, in a drug comma, or already dead. INMHO

My guess would be already unconscious or dead too. I couldn’t imagine being the unfortunate operator that was probably just sipping his morning coffee and rolling through some familiar tall brown weeds that he mows every year, and seeing that pop out from under the mower. That would shake a feller up.
