Good morning!!!!

...

Lucky for me, another neighbor has a 110 HP track steer and when I called him he was on his way back from a hydro mulching job and three miles away. We hooked a 30K tow strap on front of my tractor and two minutes later I was back on firm ground.

...

Sheesh.... I feel for you.

I'd be beside myself if that happened to someone who is doing me a huge favor. I'd make it right and at least offer to wash down the equipment.

Well my HVAC is running. Tech had simply left the circuit breaker off. But on the way out from under my house I hit the top of my head on the duct work metal hanging strap...same place I did a couple of months ago.

But this time I'm sitting in the urgent care center (25 miles from home) waiting for 1.5 hours to get stitches with blood running down my forehead.

Oh man..... scalp wounds... oh man.... Hope you get fixed up quickly.

Never got so much as an "oops, sorry".

9 staples and a tetanus shot.

Billy- I am sorry to read about your injury. 9 staples = a serious cut. I hope your wound heals quickly w/o too much scaring. Take care.

Too funny.

Thanks. Was much worse than I thought. Doctor took a pic and I sent it to my wife in NC for extra sympathy. Not sure I can figure how to get another tractor out of it, though.

What's the best wrap I could use on this strap for cushioning?

I keep this stuff around and wouldn't hesitate to use it on that strap:

Get it at Amazon, but any good hardware store should also stock it.

Too absorbed in her own little world to even look in the rearview and see your predicament.

She'll see the ruts, though, and want you to fix 'em, you nasty old man.:laughing:

You still have the satisfaction of doing a good deed; sometimes that has to be enough.
