I was removing a lot of scrub brush from the property today with the grappler. Apparently I hit some sort of bees nest, I never did see it. The entire cab turned dark almost like a solar eclipse. They swarmed the entire cab. I sat there stunned for a second then thought I hope this cab doesn't have any openings for them to get it.
I hightailed it out of there lickety-split they chased me for almost 500 feet before they gave up.
I drove by later a couple of *** later with my truck and they were still riled up.
I debated for a long time getting a cab thinking this is a pretty expensive luxury, but today I realized it's not a luxury at all it's a lifesaver. I can guarantee you I'd be dead right now being stung by hundreds of those things. Moreover, if I was in an open cab they would have continued to sting me for a few hundred feet.
How'd you like to see the news report on that one. Man dead in the seat of this tractor stung several thousand times and he was swelled up twice his size.
