Grapple "Blonde moment"...forgot to unhook hoses on grapple!!!

   / "Blonde moment"...forgot to unhook hoses on grapple!!! #12  
First day the tractor arrived. Dealer parked it in the grass. I was so excited - jumped out of the truck and jumped on the tractor. Fired it up and started driving. Wife is on the porch waving - "Hi Honey! Cool tractor, eh?" But she's waving a bit more frantically. Turns out I didn't lift the bucket and had curled up about 30' of sod!

Oops.

Very sad, but I had a "blond moment" yesterday and my first thought was this thread.

Mowing with RFM. Same grass, same yard, same FENCE as the past thousand times. Watching the RFM in the mirror so as not to hit the FENCE where the FENCE turns. Should have worried about the FEL instead. :eek: :eek: Teenage son drives up, of course, just after the mishap. "Dad, that's not the best thing you could have done."

Happily, only damage was one fence post and my pride. Both can be repaired. :)

MikeD74T - that sounds like a pretty-cool way to mount the hoses. I'll have to remember that.
