How long before you acquired your first dent?

No real dents on my JD 4200 yet, but it's mostly plastic, anyhow. I have, however, taken my share of paint off my bucket, FEL arms and backhoe. I guess I look at it as a natural state of things and nothing which should cause me worry. My tractor is a tool and as such is expected to sustain some dings and such. My grille guard (doing it's job) has acquired more than a little orange paint from loading my dump trucks and they have some green here and there as well. I intentionally make contact so I know I'm dumping as close to the center of the bed as possible.

I suppose I'll get all enthused one day and grind down some of the rougher spots and prime them and put some fresh green over the primer so it'll look good from the road, anyhow. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Not really sure when it happened, have a nice dent in the front grill. I believe it must have happened when I was pushing a pile of brush back. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
