My parents are getting a new doublewide on some country land dad inherited. The road was a little narrow so we needed to widen it and remove trees from the edge. There are quite a few big ceders, some around 14 inches across the trunk and about 45 feet long. I was using my bucket forks to pick them up and move them further back in the woods with my Mahindra 5500. One of the big ones hung sideways and started coming loose. I dropped it as fast as I could but it was too late. The next thing I know is the tree caught the edge of my head and there was a loud metal ringing sound. The ROPS caught it. It just barely hit me. No dents or cracks in the ROPS at all, just a tiny smear of paint. Thank GOD for modern safety regs.
