I can now contribute to this thread and and give some people a good laugh. I was cutting trees today using my loader bucket to lift the log to cut it. So while doing this I left the backblade on to use it as a counter weight. I got down so far and had to go on the other side of the fence to cut the stump off and drag the rest of the log in to cut it. Well when I cut it off I took my loader and drug the stump back. Doing this resulted in snagging a tree with the right corner of the 60" blade. This resulted in the blade coming around and hitting the right side taillight and busting it along with bending the right lowering arm to a point it may not be straightend . Along with feeling dumb about this I managed to bust my thumb open while pulling a cotter pin out with pliers . So I had a great day today.

Here is a lesson my husband learned this year. If you have layed on the couch all morning becuase you don't feel well, kind of sick and dizy, and nto well enough to work, then don't go in the afternoon and decidet to use the chainsaw to cut some wood. He almnost cut off his hand. As it was he had surgery at a special hand hospital. He no longer oeprates the chainsaw when not feeling well. When he was recovering the chainsaw was in the back porch. He asked me to go move it down the basement as every time he saw it it gave him the creeps...

The tractor can be fixed or have parts replaced. Glad your injury was limited to your thumb.

Rox,
wow, that sounds like every time I'm home sick (with the exception of the hospital part). There is something about being home all day and not getting anything accomplished that drives me nuts.
Hope your husband has a full recovery. That sounds very bad and very scary.

Jimmer,
Thanks for your kind words, he is 100% healed after many months of physical therapy, he lost a bit of movement in a couple fingers. He really has changed, if he is not feeling well he won't drive the tractor or operate dangerous equipment. I guess he just had to learn the hard way.

We had a fellow in the state shop where I worked and he did our tractor work. One day he really cut himself bad and the boss asked if he want to go to the Dr. He said, "naw just give me some of that super glue. I thinks to meself, he is going to get gangrene or no telling what from this. Next day, I asked him how is the cut today? He says, "a little sore."
If, it had been anyone else he would have had a severe infection. But, he didn't.
SO, just keep the super glue non surgical kind and electrical tape on hand, which he used. I guess ones immune system gets used to it after a while.
That guy reminds me of my departed step dad. I have seen him pull his teeth with pliers while watching the evening news.
I once saw a tire changer kick back and break his arm. He wrapped it in a red hankercheif and kept working.
Once he was trying to un-stick a stuck car using a little Farmall. He jerked, the tractor fiip over on top of him. He "caught" it with his feet and while laying on the ground under it gave the us directions on how to get him free.
I know he broke several ribs and maybe punctured a lung that time. We don't know for sure, he never went to the hospital, just layed in bed for a week.
I don't think the man felt pain like us normal folks.

situation today
30 foot hackberry split about 10 foot up.
trunk about 3 foot from old shed
cut the perfect wedge
cut the perfect oposing angle to the wedge
tree was supose to fall to the side that looked like the best way for it to "unload" the pressure.
when the cut was complete the trunk (about 5 foot up as i was standing on a deck) quickly poped up and back aginst my chest, as i realized what was happening i started running sideways with a chainsaw that was winding down as as the trunk was chasing me. the force knocked the chainsaw out of my hand and when it hit the ground the bar brushed my leg and hand.
i managed to get out shaken and not stirred, not even a scratch.
to many things could have gone wrong here but the lesson learned is
when cutting anything with a chain saw have an exit stratagy
when a tree splits and the top is on the ground there are more things to consider than which way to drop this one.
merry christmas all, im lucky to be alive for this one
